Articulation
The Education Laboratory develops methodologies based on academic research so that all children can reach their learning potential. We implement and monitor projects with professionals from public schools, families and the community.
To support actions and strategies, it is not enough to define, produce and make quality content available. We live in a context where information is widely available, even excessively so. The question that arises is how we help educators filter and translate this knowledge into practice. In this context, Labedu relies on the following principles:
Articulation
We connect research and implementation, formal and informal learning contexts, theoretical and practical knowledge. We develop partnerships between different sectors, integrating different forms of action to transform educational practices on micro and macro scales.
Pedagogical knowledge
It is the key element in the implementation of public policies. The systemic and sustainable transformation of educational practices requires knowledge about how children and adults learn new ways to understand and perform their roles, whether inside or outside the school context.
Reproduction is different from appropriation
It is not enough to promote mechanical changes, without understanding or intentionality. We need to promote formative experiences that give meaning to new ways of doing things. Implementing a project is the beginning, but the transformation towards autonomy occurs in the process.
Quality over quantity
From strategic focuses, we deepen and strengthen the professional role of those who work in public education and child support systems. We are not seeking to cover all fields of knowledge, but to invest in structural paths that are a starting point for future transformations.

Children learn all the time and everywhere. What they observe and experience has the potential to impact their development in a positive or negative way. That is why our role as adults is fundamental!
It is in our hands to mediate children's interactions with the world , as well as to serve as a reference, giving examples based on our attitudes and decisions. What children learn, how they develop and what adults they become is up to us!
In this context, the Education Laboratory seeks to provoke reflections and raise awareness among adults about their important role in the learning process of the children they live with, offering means to promote meaningful interactions inside and outside of school.
