NURIT SHABEL, Paula. “Aprendo lo que se me canta”: Niños/as frente a diversas propuestas de construcción de conocimiento. Propuesta educativa (Online) [online]. 2016, n.45, pp.107-116. ISSN 1995-7785.

The social and political organization Teresa Israel carries out an educational project with children aged 9 to 17 based on the rights perspective. There, they develop school support activities along with a workshop to study their neighborhood conditions and problems. The purpose of the work that we present in the following pages is to analyze the attitudes that these children adopt towards the activities that imply a knowledge building process about their neighborhood, striving to explain the interest or indifference that they show for the proposals. A historical reconstruction of theories around infancy and its cognitive capacities is presented followed by the field work undertaken between March 2013 and December 2014 with the ethnographic method. The participant observation and a hermeneutic approach were applied together with the use of photographs, drawings, videos and interviews to capture what the children stand for their own learning processes.
