Systematization of an Educational Dialogic Interaction Experience of Social Appropriation of Science and Technology with Children at an Early Age at Non-Formal Settings

Abstract

This article summarizes the results of the thesis carried out in the framework of the Master’s program in Educational and Social Development from Cinde and Universidad Pedagógica Nacional. It presents the logic of sense, the methodological proposal and the relational system that characterize the systematization of an educational dialogic interaction experience of social appropriation of science and technology, with boys and girls at an early age, at non-formal settings, from the  "Little explorers" club of Maloka. This systematization was performed in a four stages approach, from the creation of the Club in 2003 until 2012, in the context of the inter-institutional agreement between Maloka Interactive Center and Universidad Pedagógica Nacional. It revealed distinctive elements of the experience lived by the researcher during the process at the Club, which were later reflected pedagogically.  It is important to point out that, due to the Master’s program, systematization as a research modality has became into a substantial part of the professional work for the researcher.
