In all partner schools, 325 students answered, anonymously and randomly, to several questions about the teaching-learning process and the best strategies that, according to the students, could increase their levels of motivation and performance. About 60% of the students answered that they prefer to work in groups and that they feel the need for more practical activities during classes. Only 7% of the students indicated that they prefer formal classes (sitting to listen to the teacher explain the contents), and the remaining 93% indicated that they prefer to explore creative activities for better learning. However, 55% of the students reported having some fear in terms of expressions, which indicates the need to insist on this type of activities, aiming to provide them with more confidence, autonomy and assertiveness. Almost 80% of students said they needed to work more in groups, with a view to becoming more confident in artistic activities.
With this results, we feel that we have to promote activities that can meet what our students and teachers want: investing in non-formal, more practical and expressive strategies that bring local communities and families to our schools and that are motivating for our students, in an attempt to counteract school disinterest and failure.
