SILVA, Marcia Soares da  and  GARCIA, Narjara Mendes. Ecological view of children on the learning in the initial years of Fundamental Education. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.45, pp.121-136. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v22i45.1039.

Children can express their experiences within the school environment and through this manifestation, some have demonstrated an "ecological look". Through this look children can know the world and transform that knowledge into social awareness and practice. The present study aimed to investigate the perception and interpretation of the children about the schooling process and the feelings about the approval and disapproval in the first years of elementary school. A qualitative research was carried out with twenty - three children of the third year, through play strategies and recorded conversations. The results of this research indicate that children perceive the adversities faced in the schooling process and know how to express their feelings of success in the face of approval or frustration with the disapproval in the first cycle of the elementary school years. The children understand that disapproval may be due to lack of effort and study of the student, as well as problems and lack of support from family members. Contrary to what many adults believe, children have a look at and build expectations about the situation in which they are immersed and can point out what may be best for them.

Keywords : environmental education; ecological look; school; research with children.
