Bringing the Future to School: Student-Created Content
Azambuja, Vitor; Barroso, Gilberto
Childhood Education, v98 n2 p24-33 2022
Children learn best when they are inherently motivated to pursue new knowledge and skills; ownership and opportunity for initiative provide that inherent motivation. Most of what has been created for the children's universe--whether in cinema, theater, books, cartoons, or school curriculum content--has been created and produced by adults. But By Kids to Kids, a startup in Brazil, was determined to develop a methodology, called Creating Together, with the main focus of giving children a voice and making them the protagonists in the narrative of building their own knowledge. The teacher becomes a mentor, a provocateur who supports, encourages, and motivates students to create and build their own knowledge in a playful and fun way. The result of this process is an animation produced by the By Kids to Kids team, with stories, drawings, and narrations created in the classroom by students under the mediation of the teacher. All this material is presented in the language that children best understand and identify with: their own.
