Abstract

This paper, the result of a qualitative research exercise, presents the results of the evaluation process carried out for the pedagogical participation in Child Development Center (CDI by acronym in Spanish) El Jardin de Hesed. The study found that the classroom participation approach of the early childhood education policy is partially applied in the current pedagogical practice of the teachers of this institution, since their conception of children’s participation in the classroom is far from what is provided in these politics. One of the main findings is that there is a lot of tension due to the fact that participation in the classroom is not being conceived under the vision of public policy, since teachers have other ways of understanding participation in their educational practice.
