Políticas de educação infantil do município de João Pessoa/PB e a formação das professoras dessa etapa

Abstract

This work was based on questions, wanting to know how the municipality of João Pessoa/PB presents the stage of Early Childhood Education in its policy. The research discusses the Early Childhood Education Policies in the municipality of João Pessoa/PB and the training of teachers at this stage, in order to analyze how the municipal Early Childhood Education policies of João Pessoa are thought and how this can contribute to the training of teachers. Therefore, it was necessary to carry out a survey of municipal policies for Early Childhood Education; identify policies related to the training of Early Childhood Education teachers; and analyze how these documents can influence the training of teachers. Documentary research was then carried out based on 6 (six) documents produced between the years 2021 and 2022 that bring elements about the Early Childhood Education policies in the municipality of João Pessoa/PB. To identify the data and results of the analysis, 12 (twelve) tables were organized containing the title, the question on the analysis sheet, the name of the documents and whether/how they address the issue. In each frame, an analysis was carried out based on the question and what the document contained about it, in dialogue with the theoretical framework. Given this, it appears that the way in which the educational policies of the municipality in question are thought points to a historical-social bias, bringing the child as an active subject and protagonist of his process as a human being. The documents allow open dialogue, being flexible to think about improvements in Early Childhood Education policies. Faced with this, the documents indicate that the training of Early Childhood Education teachers in the municipal network of João Pessoa/PB must be in line with what is established about the first stage of Basic Education, which can significantly affect the reflection of these professionals, in their role as educators, in the objective of Early Childhood Education, understanding the possible ways to carry out their pedagogical practice. This leads to the understanding that the present research can bring significant contributions, in the sense of offering an expansion of the discussion of this stage of Basic Education, through analyzes in the educational policies of the municipality of João Pessoa, opening up to a more focused look at this public, with the possibility of creating new Child Education policies.
