La adaptación escolar: una experiencia investigativa en preescolar

Abstract

The adaptation to the school is an issue poorly approached in the psychoeducational field, and this is the reason for making this paper derived from a research work about the accompaniment given to pre-school children by teachers, during the process of adaptation to school, made in 2014-2015 at Tercer Milenio school in Caldas, Antioquia, Colombia. In order to accomplish the general objective of describing the teachers´ accompaniment in this process keeping in mind the subjectivities, a qualitative design under the founded theory was used in the research work to orientate the information analysis process. The results describe the notions, difficulties and strategies of the teachers during the children´s adaptation to school. Those results are split into three basic categories that include aspects such as: the child regarded as an “adult in miniature” or a “defenseless” being; the insufficiency in the education knowledge, the professional experience and the use of authority and, in the same direction, there are some limitations in the teaching activity; the maternal position, one of the ways to reduce anguish during the adaptation to school and their own childhood stories as a subjective mark that addresses their way to accompany students
