A ludicidade na educação infantil: a influência do lúdico na aprendizagem

Abstract

The present work with the title “Playfulness in Early Childhood Education: the influence of playfulness in learning” is the result of a research at the Laranjeiras Municipal Early Childhood Reference Center, located in the José Américo neighborhood, in the city of João Pessoa, capital from Paraíba, whose main objective was to analyze the importance of playfulness in the learning process in children in the early childhood stage. To this end, a questionnaire was applied on the topic discussed with the teacher of the class of children with five years and an observation of the playful work in the classroom, during the supervised internship period. In building a reflective thought on the theme, Piaget (1999) and Vygotsky (1994) were based on the approach to learning in Early Childhood Education, and Kishimoto (1999) as the main reference in the category of the importance of games in education. The methodological procedures were based on field research, with a survey of the perception of the teacher in the classroom and the development of children through the playful pedagogical resources offered by the institution of the municipal school system. As a result, it was observed that the proposed objectives were achieved, with play being an important factor in the construction of children's knowledge in Early Childhood Education.
