Abstract (pt)
Este artigo descreve e analisa o processo de exploração de uma atividade de investigação sobre a influência da luz e da humidade no comportamento das minhocas, promovido num grupo de crianças da educação pré-escolar, no âmbito de um projeto de intervenção pedagógica supervisionada. Através da análise do processo, que incide no diário da atividade, elaborado na sequência da observação participante, caracteriza-se o conhecimento espontâneo das crianças sobre as minhocas, identificam-se os processos científicos promovidos para investigarem a influência da luz e da humidade no comportamento das minhocas e avaliam-se as aprendizagens realizadas pelas crianças. A análise sugere que as crianças destas idades são capazes de assumir uma “atitude científica e investigativa” na procura do saber, quando devidamente estimuladas pela ação do educador e envolvidas em experiências de aprendizagem interessantes e desafiadoras.
Abstract (en)
This article describes and analyses the exploration of research activity on the influence of light and humidity on the behaviour of earthworms, promoted in a group of children in preschool education, within the scope of a supervised pedagogical intervention project through the analysis of the process, which focuses on the activity diary, prepared from participant observation. We characterize the spontaneous knowledge of children about earthworms, promoting scientific processes to investigate the influence of light and moisture in conduct earthworms. The analysis suggests that children of these ages assume a "scientific and investigative attitude" constructing knowledge when stimulated appropriately by the teacher, involving interesting and challenging learning experiences.

Este artículo describe y analiza la exploración de una actividad de investigación sobre la influencia de la luz y la humedad en el comportamiento de las lombrices de tierra, promovida en un grupo de niños en educación preescolar, dentro del alcance de un proyecto de intervención pedagógica supervisada. A través del análisis del proceso, que se centra en el diario de actividades, elaborado a partir de la observación participante, se caracteriza el conocimiento espontáneo de los niños sobre las lombrices de tierra, se identifican los procesos científicos promovidos para investigar la influencia de la luz y la humedad en el comportamiento. lombrices de tierra y evaluación del aprendizaje de los niños. El análisis muestra que los niños de estas edades son capaces de asumir una "actitud científica e investigativa" en la búsqueda de conocimiento, cuando son estimulados adecuadamente por la acción del educador e involucrados en experiencias de aprendizaje interesantes y desafiantes.
