Abstract

It presents the results obtained in an innovation experience led by the network of Early Childhood Education RIECU (Early Childhood Education School-Center of Teaching Training-University). The innovation affects the Practicum III of the Degree of Early Childhood Education. It focuses on the voluntary selection of 26 university students and 26 expertices teachers in the methodology of project-based learning (ABP) working in 26 students aged 3 to 6 years (513 boys and girls in total). After a training process in the mentioned methodology, the pedagogical peers (teacher-student) are configured. In the face-to-face practices, during the two months of stay in the schools, these peers initiate collaborative research-action processes. The teacher student elaborates the pedagogical documentation, understood as visual narrative that includes the most relevant moments of the student's learning. This pedagogical documentation is used as a tool for reflection on the practice and educational research, it allows the value of adjustment of the learning situations, the teaching role and the motivation of the student.
