The information that appears systematized in this subchapter
comprises two key aspects: the first is a brief contextualization of the
Modern School Movement (MSM), and the second concerns the
contributions of this pedagogical model for experiential learning.
The MSM, whose origin and development date back to the 1960s,
is an association of educational practitioners intended for cooperative
self-training of its members and to support in-service training and
pedagogical animation of educational institutions. This movement
comprises a network of regional groups which act as cooperative working
groups for the training and development of educational resources in
several areas of formal education. Within its scope a quarterly journal
named Escola Moderna is edited. It works simultaneously as an
informative and dissemination bulletin of pedagogical practices (Nóvoa,
Marcelino, & Ramos do Ó, 2012).
