LÍBER: laboratory of interdisciplinary educational methodologies as a possibility to address age-grade distortion

Abstract

The article deals with age-grade distortion in basic education, considered a recurring challenge that affects thousands of students in situations of age-grade mismatch. It presents a sample of the experience developed in a public institution, through the Projeto Líber- Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Educational Methodologies - which developed in an interdisciplinary way the training of teachers and dialogue circles with the purpose of contributing to the meaning of the subjects and processes involved in education, through the inspiration of innovative ideas and the flow of creative experiences, seeking to exercise methodological teaching and learning processes to minimize age-grade distortion in basic education. The work methodology was based on a qualitative approach, with action research and content analysis for data processing. The study found that, in relation to teacher training, there is the possibility of improving and implementing continuing education spaces for the entire education network, especially in institutional pedagogical coordination spaces. Regarding the suggestions from the dialogue circles, they consolidated axes with contributions from teacher training, projects, infrastructure, service and school management, revealing that the realities and experiences of school communities should be included in public policy proposals that are, for the most part, implemented vertically in education networks.
