Desafios e possibilidades na educação infantil : uma reflexão sobre o Projeto Aponte

Abstract

This study deals with the challenges and possibilities offered by Early Childhood Education. In this case, this work is a research that is inserted in the qualitative approach with the purpose of analyzing the proposal of early childhood education of the Project Aponte and if it establishes correlation with the National Policy for this stage of education. To do so, we used the observation data, the logbook, written by the researcher, and questionnaires as instrument for collecting data, applied to the educators who work at the research institution. The research's temporal cut-off was in the period of November and December 2018. From the results obtained is emphasized that the proposal of Early Childhood Education developed in the Aponte Project is in conformity with what the National Policy establishes in various aspects, such as: the inclusion and integral development of all children, respecting their differences and needs, through diversified and meaningful learning; good physical structure; materials suited to the size of children; promotion of interactions; multiprofessional team; all aimed at significantly interfering with the way children learn. However, was emphasized that there was a deficiency in the number of professionals in the shift operation, because, in general, the institution had three volunteers playing different functions, among others, related to pedagogic activities, to cleanliness and food.
