| dc.description | In this article the possibility of developing authentic project work in a sixth-grade classroom
of a Venezuelan school is explored, by means of action research (AR) methodology. Two AR
cycles with two different projects were carried out. Data were collected via teacher researcher,
co-researcher and student journals, and also by means of audio and video recordings, interviews
with students, and compilation of classroom products. Data were interpreted using a narrative
presentation and also applying five categories, only one of which is analyzed in this paper.
Results show that on the one hand student participation increased in all stages of the project
work. On the other hand, students encountered some difficulties carrying out empirical research
activities and also relating them to theoretical content, although progress in this regard was
made. Additionally, communication should have departed more from mere repetition, although
some teams were able to try more formative approaches. It was corroborated that school
facilities must be improved in order to promote better project work. AR proved fruitful as a
way to produce changes and generate practical and reflexive contributions. | |
