Abstract

This study aimed to map the view of teachers from the first years of elementary school
about the insertion of school research in their teaching practices. The research used qualitative and
quantitative approaches and had been done with 124 teachers from 1st to 5th years of elementary school,
who answered a structured questionnaire. Data processing was done by Iramuteq software. The results
showed that school research is a beneficial resource for teaching practices and provides students with
concrete projects and activities, contributing to the development of critical, curious, and reflective
attitudes. However, difficulties such as poor access to the means of information (mainly internet), lack
of student commitment, the choice of themes and reading habits were indicated by the teachers but, at
the same time, the learning support, the curiosity about current affairs and active participation were
indicated as facilitators of teaching work.
