Abstract:

The Pedagogical Triangulations – COVID19 school experiences: the journey was an event promoted when COVID19 arrived in Portugal imposing the general lockdown. The initiative included an e-magazine Challenges [Desafios] – Trans_Formation Notebooks #32, “Pedagogical Triangulations – COVID19 school experiences: the journey – Memories, Stories and Students’ Time” dedicated only to works produced by K-12 students. This is the fourth paper of the research project regarding the Pedagogical Triangulations initiative, this time disclosing only the data regarding the students' outputs that were analysed and categorised with NVivo12 application. In this article we describe the process and its results.

Since March 2020, young people are much more exposed to screens than usual. Schools’ intermittent closure means that access to the digital equipment is crucial to maintain education, socialisation with peers, play, entertainment, and self-expression. This edition of e-maganize allowed us, as researchers, to look for new ways to involve students in a process of educational research and practice that directly influence and matter to them, through a process of engagement to get to hear their experiences from their own words, in their own way. With this work, we wanted to get closer to understanding students’ different points of view; the challenge remains for researchers and educators: is to give voice to young people both in research and learning agendas.
