MIANO, Amalia  y  HERAS, Ana Inés. Children find their voice. The educational potential of narration. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.2, pp.979-994. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.16222.

This study analyzes a pedagogical experience in Buenos Aires City developed by a staff team and a group of volunteers that work with homeless children. The goal of the study was to identify learning opportunities obtained through narration from a sociolinguistic perspective, considering multi-mediated interactions as analytical units. Methodologically, the authors examined the availability, access and transposition of different semiotic systems. The outcomes of the research show that facilitating access to a variety of resources enables individual participants to speak up and express themselves and also enables the group to express itself as a collective. The authors conclude that the pedagogical experiences of this kind clearly establish the educational potential of narration and self-expression and facilitate the description of undignified ways of living, as voiced by the homeless children that participated in the study.

Palabras clave : Narration; pedagogical ethnography; children at high risk (European Education Thesaurus).
