pensamento cuidadoso, pesquisa empírica, lipman, filosofia para criançasResumo
Este estudo explora se a eficácia dos programas de Filosofia para Crianças (FpC) pode ser verificada por meio de pesquisa empírica. Primeiramente, analiso a pesquisa empírica pioneira conduzida por Matthew Lipman na década de 1970 para avaliar o aprimoramento das habilidades de pensamento crítico de crianças do ensino fundamental que participaram de aulas usando seus romances de filosofia. Em seguida, exploro a base teórica para a integração do pensamento crítico e criativo na abordagem multidimensional do pensamento de Lipman, na qual o pensamento cuidadoso é um componente fundamental. Ao fazer isso, analiso as implicações do surgimento do pensamento cuidadoso. Na sequência, examino as tendências da pesquisa empírica sobre o pensamento cuidadoso na Coreia do Sul e em outros países. Por fim, apresento dois exemplos de pesquisa (uma quantitativa e outra qualitativa) cujo tema central é o pensamento cuidadoso. Analiso detalhadamente os resultados do estudo qualitativo e discuto se há implicações comuns para a realização de pesquisas empíricas sobre o pensamento cuidadoso que podem ser encontradas tanto em estudos quantitativos quanto qualitativos, e se as limitações deixadas por um podem ser potencialmente compensadas pelo outro. Para concluir, defendo que a pesquisa empírica, conduzida de forma a complementar a pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa, pode ser uma maneira de validar e fortalecer os objetivos filosóficos da Filosofia para Crianças (FpC).
