Abstract(s)
A sociedade em constante evolução está cada vez mais consciente e exigente
daquilo que deseja e considera adequado em sistemas de qualidade. A educação de
infância também tem sido alvo de constantes mutações e exigências em função dos
períodos históricos e da evolução da conceção de infância. O presente estudo pretende
dar a conhecer as representações sociais de uma comunidade educativade uma
instituição particular de solidariedade social da região do Algarve sobre o jardim de
infância ideal.
Através deste estudo, pretende-se conhecer a importância que a comunidade
educativa atribui ao trabalho desenvolvido no jardim de infância, assim como analisar a
existência de uma relação entre o que esta comunidade considera ideal e o estipulado na
legislação em vigor, referente à educação pré-escolar e ao jardim de infância.
Objetivou-se saber se as características do jardim de infância têm influência nos utentes
(adultos e crianças), a par com o conhecimento das interpretações das crianças acerca da
sua atividade no jardim de infância e das perceções que a comunidade educativa tem da
relevância dos órgãos de gestão nos serviços prestados.
Assente numa metodologia qualitativa,neste estudo foram utilizados inquéritos
por questionário e por entrevista, tendo como público-alvo encarregados de educação,
educadoras e auxiliares de ação educativa, um elemento do órgão de gestão e crianças
do jardim de infância. Os dados foram registados em áudio e posteriormente transcritos.
Após a análise do seu conteúdo foi possível realçar os indicadores referentes às
representações sociais dos inquiridos acerca do jardim de infância ideal.
Os dados sobre as representações sociais da comunidade educativa em relação
ao jardim de infância apontam para uma consonância com as Orientações Curriculares
para a Educação Pré-Escolar (Lopes da Silva, Marques, Mata & Rosa, 2016) e demais
legislações em vigor. No entanto, a busca por este ideal afigura-se como um constante
desafio para os órgãos de gestão, os quais deverão estar atentos às necessidades e
anseios da população, assim como dos profissionais que nele exercem a sua atividade,
no sentido de efetuar os ajustes necessários em prol do bom funcionamento da
instituição, da adequação das instalações e da satisfação de todos.
Society, which is in constant change, is becoming increasingly more aware and critical of what it desires and considers appropriate in quality systems. Childhood education has also been the subject of constant mutations and demands following different historical periods as well as the evolution of the conception of childhood. The present study aimsat showing the social representations of an educational community, on a particular social solidarity institution in the region of the Algarve, on what concerns the ideal kindergarten. This study aims at ascertaining the importance that the educational community assigns to the work developed in kindergartens, as well as analysing the existence of a link between what this community considers to be ideal and what is stipulated in current legislation regarding preschool education and kindergarten. The goal was to know if the features of a kindergarten influence users (adults and children), as well the knowledge of a child’s view regarding their activity in kindergarten and the perceptions that the educational community has of the relevance of the management entities in the provided services. This study is based on a qualitative methodology. Questionnaires and interview surveys were used having as target audience guardians, educators, educational action assistants, management entities and kindergarten children. Data was recorded in audio and then written down. After a content analysis, it was possible to highlight the indicators referring to respondents’ social representations regarding kindergarten. Data about the educational community social representations concerning kindergarten indicate accordance with the curricular guidelines for preschool education (Lopes da Silva, Marques, Mata & Rosa, 2016) and further current legislation. However, the pursuit of this ideal seems to be a constant challenge for the management entities, who must be alert to population needs and yearns, never forgetting the professionals who work there, in order to implement essential adjustments to the proper functioning of the institution, adjust facilities and achieve satisfaction.
