Análise do cuidado com a sala de aula a partir de um olhar psicopedagógico

Abstract

School is the environment where the child begins to learn concepts and basic rules about life, it is inside the classroom where the learning process begins. Knowledge is very important for practice. Considering the previous, this study proposes to analyze the option “How the environment impacts man and his behaviors?”; but the focus is on the user, the way he thinks and uses the classroom space, and the implication of this relation on learning. Therefore, the aim was to identify and analyze the students’ knowledge about the classroom and the care with it, compare these knowledge considering the type of school, described intention and actions of environmental care. The sample was composed by participants from public and private schools from the city of João Pessoa (PB), a sample of 80 students, 48.7% were male and 51.3% female, with ages ranging between 14 and 18 years old (m= 15.46 years; sd= 1.018). They answered to the technique Natural Semantic Networks (NSN) and to demographic questions. Results were from an exploratory analysis, which identified a semantic network representing positive and useful knowledge about the terms: classroom and care with the classroom. Results are divided according to the type of school (public and private). Small differences were found between public and private schools according to the knowledge network, but in both contexts it was realized the need for more knowledge about what students know about the classroom and the care with it, but the knowledge that they have is positive (e.g., learn, study, attention, cleanness, organization). This suggests actions to pychopedagogy directed to work on awareness regarding auxiliary elements on the learning process, such as the care with the school environment, which are also fundamental to the development of a complete citizen who seeks life quality.
