Investiga？？o-ac？？o e constru？？o da cidadania

the social, economic and cultural development in the last decades and the multiple changes that they caused both at family and at educational level have introduced the question of education, as a public action to be undertaken by different educational agents - parents, children, others social？ ac-social？ actors of community. in this paper, we shall briefly present three projects grounded on action research, explaining the contexts in which they were developed, their goals, and their research methods. a meta-analysis of these projects allowed us to point out the specificities of each one, as well as to find out some common indicators, like: the significance of cooperation as a motor of citizenship for every social actor; the (re-) construction of new ways of social and educational solidarity and the need to unhide child？s participation in this relational process; the (re-) valuation of the teacher as a professional in human being relationships; and the claim of education as a common project.
