HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND APPROPRIATION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL AND SOCIAL SPACE OF THE CEU BUTANTÃ IN THE CITY OF SÃO PAULO - REPORTS OF A RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Description of the research project on the appropriation, by educators, of the architectural and social complex of the Centro Educacional Unificado (CEU) Butantã, started in 2018, entitled "Dealing with spaces1", from the perspective of the researchers. This educational equipment composes the public policy of education in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The research had the assumption that a quality education is characterized by the commitment to the social and democratic environment, and tends to provide pedagogical conditions so that learners can appropriate new experiences and reflect on how to place themselves in the world, conquer it and transform it. This proposal values students and educators as producers of knowledge. We used the method of systematic and unsystematic participant observation, interpreted based on the concept of appropriation highlighted by Vygotsky, Leontiev, Milton Santos, and Freire.
