Reflexões sobre o movimento e a brincadeira e sua relação com o desenvolvimento infantil

Abstract

The present work proposes a reflection a reflection about the influence of movement and play in child development as elements of motor and social formation. Games and games and their importance in the educational context have been discussed for a long time. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to establish the connection between children's games and development and, in detail, between psychomotricity and educational action. Currently, several researchers seek to understand this phenomenon, in an attempt to elucidate issues such as: the functions that these activities have on child development; the reasons why the child should play; what play provides the child with regard to learning and so on. In order to discuss these and other issues, the act of playing - so important in the child's routine - is analyzed under the psychopedagogical bias, in order to try to establish an inventory of the collaborations that the psychomotor stimuli contained in the games provide for child development. and to what extent they should be valued or discarded in the educational context. It is concluded that the learning process directly influenced by the use of games, provides a greater child development in several aspects, from intellectual, affective, psychomotor and social. The research methodology is deductive, based on the bibliographical review of authors who deal with the theory of human development, educational action and psychomotricity. The first two topics are based on the studies of educational psychology by Wallon, Piaget and Vygotsky, and the last one on scientific articles related to the discipline of Physical Education.
