A presença da psicomotricidade no currículo da educação infantil

Abstract

The work initially brings the concept of psychomotricity, its applications and fields of experience. The main objective is to identify the presence of psychomotricity in the Early Childhood Education curriculum through a documentary research. Thus, a study was carried out around the official documents (National Curriculum Reference for Early Childhood Education/RCNEI, 1998; National Curriculum Guidelines for Early Childhood Education/DCNEI, 2009; Common National Curriculum Base/BNCC, 2017). The movement that for a long time was something banned from the classroom, even seen as disorder and intolerable action, finally finds its place and its share of contribution in child development. The movement within early childhood education has an immense north, since from it, it is possible to carry out work aimed at motor practices that will help the more complex functions that will be used in the future to mature. Each document was analyzed having as object of study the presence of psychomotricity. It was possible to observe that although the documents do not explicitly mention the term “psychomotricity”, it was present in the discourse when dealing with the theme: movement.
