A Comunicação na Transição do Pré -Escolar para o 1.º Ciclo

Mediante a grande relevância que a sociedade ao longo dos tempos tem dado sobre a temática da educação das crianças, atualmente, esta é vista como um suporte fundamental de todo um processo de aprendizagem ao longo da vida das crianças. E embora a Educação pré-escolar (EPE) tenha cariz opcional, contemporaneamente esta é reconhecida como sendo a primeira etapa de um processo de formação integral que visa, principalmente, preparar as crianças para a escola, preparando-as para o longo caminho educativo, com um peso decisivo no sucesso escolar e social destas mesmas. Consciente da relevância da EPE, apresentamos um trabalho de projeto que procura elucidar e dar resposta ao problema da: comunicação na transição do Pré-Escolar para o 1.º Ciclo. A ser implementado, a metodologia do mesmo será a investigação ação (I-A), devido às características de intervenção social, inerentes às variáveis em estudo e aos destinatários alvo do projeto de intervenção. Pretende-se alcançar os seguintes objetivos: a) “identificar as principais barreiras da comunicação na transição do Pré-Escolar para o 1.º Ciclo; b) enunciar estratégias que estimulem práticas alternativas à passagem de informação entre o Pré-Escolar e o 1.º Ciclo; c) articular a passagem de informação entre o Pré-Escolar e o 1.º Ciclo”, Para tal, propósito, propôs-se implementar uma ação de formação com onze sessões, assente na revisão da literatura da especialidade, na autorreflexão, na experiência didática de cada um dos participantes, assim como, na pertinência do trabalho em equipa, cooperativo e participativo entre docentes. Pretende-se com esta formação, para além de atingir os objetivos acima referidos, promover atitudes de mudança, dinâmicas colaborativas contextualizadas, ancoradas na comunicação, na reflexão contínua, na supervisão como ação de monitorização da prática pedagógica e, ao mesmo tempo, gradualmente, robustecendo atitudes e condutas que alteram alguns pré-conceitos existentes.
