Los niños y niñas como constructores de conocimiento: un caso de investigación participativa

Abstract

Participative research with children is the object of analysis of this work. Defining knowledge as a tool for transforming reality, progress is made along a tour of the different theoretical matrices on childhood, exposing the process of invisibilization children have been submitted to as subjects of their own history who are capable of understanding their reality and reflect about it. On this point, I expand on the co-participative approaches to regain the children’s voices, which have been silenced historically. This hypothesis is implemented in an experience called AulaVereda, a neighborhood space for popular education with children from a neighborhood in the City of Buenos Aires, where a Participative Research is being carried out.
