Education in times of change: the contributions of the laboratory project for the new times (PLNT)

Abstract

This article aims to report the possibilities of change in school practices of the Project Laboratory of New Times - (PLNT), linked to the formative actions of the NGO - CEAP (Centre for Studies and Pedagogical Advice), based in Salvador da Bahia. The Laboratory is dedicated to the construction of innovative methodologies, appropriating itself to a pedagogical practice centred on creativity, protagonism, self-didacticism, problem-solving capacity and autonomy in students' learning. We used a qualitative methodology. It was found that the project's formative actions broke the traditional practices and played an active role in the socio-political reality of the students, connecting all pedagogical actions with global events. The pedagogical action of learning with technological mediation, valued the students' socio-educational context and their possibilities of emancipation.
