O movimento corporal na educação infantil

Abstract

Body movement is an essential practice for the integral development of the child. The realization of the corporal movement in the Infantile Education must be reconciled with the physical, psychological, intellectual and social aspects of the child. Therefore, this study aimed to verify how the movement is present in the pedagogical practice of the teachers of Early Childhood Education, besides emphasizing the importance of the corporal movement in the development of the children. The work is qualitative and was carried out in a Child Education Institution in the city of João Pessoa with children from 2 to 5 years of age, through observations and informal conversation with the teachers of the respective classes: Maternal I, Maternal II and Pre I. To give us support, we did some reading with authors who investigated the subject, namely: Sarmento, Furlan, Iza and Mello, Tosatto, among others. In the work carried out, we noticed that the teachers of the researched CREI have experience of working with the children, but they lack the knowledge of how to work educational activities with Movement and, therefore, prioritize the maintenance of children in situation of Non-Movement. Such practices of keeping children quiet and silent reveal the conceptions of the child and the movement of the teachers, indicating the urgency of reformulating the processes and courses of initial and continuing training of teachers of Early Childhood Education, as well as the improvement of working conditions for care And the education of young children.
