O desenho como instrumento pedagógico no processo de desenvolvimento da criança na educação infantil

Abstract

This work aimed to analyze the use of drawing with children in the context of early childhood education. For this purpose, an explanation of the historical context of early childhood education was carried out in a succinct way, in order to better understand the trajectory traveled to the present day. In addition, studies on the subject were also briefly presented, in this case, drawing, based on the studies of some theorists, such as: Luquet, Lowenfeld, Pillar and Hanauer (2011). The study addressed the possibilities for drawing to contribute to the child's development process, and can serve as an instrument in the teacher's hand. The research methodology was exploratory and qualitative. The field research took place in a Reference Center for Early Childhood Education (CREI), in the city of João Pessoa-PB, where observations were made that were recorded in a field diary and a questionnaire was applied with the teachers and monitors of that institution . Based on the study, it was possible to see how significant the use of drawing is in the child's development process and the importance of this resource being included in pedagogical practices.
