A dança com a atenção sensível para a primeira infância no ensino não-formal.

Abstract

The experiences lived during the Dance Undergraduate Course in the Department of Performing Arts at the Federal University of Paraíba, especially in the SomaticTechnique classes with professor Juliana Costa in 2017, were relevant as a teaching learning process. From the experience as a student, we verify how sensitive attention- as a pedagogical approach - applied in the teaching of creative dance classes for children in early childhood, can contribute to the teaching-learning process. The work is based on classes given in a non-formal educational environment in the municipality of Cabedelo/PB and on the use of internal and external observation as a pedagogicalstrategy - when this quality of attention comes from the teacher to the students - and methodological, when the teacher perceives and verifies herself in the process.Organized in two chapters, the first part of the study contextualizes the approach of sensitive attention in teaching and learning creative dance through in non-formal teaching environments for children in early childhood. In the second part, it is exemplified how sensitive attention, understood as a pedagogical approach, does not consist of a teaching method or methodology and, in non-formal dance teaching environments, is based on an affective and sensitive pedagogical attitude of the teacher in his teaching practice. It is considered that, as a pedagogical approach, the sensitive attention - and the ways of observation of the body teaching and learning dance - comprises the direction of the teaching-learning process of dance with the care of oneself and of the other, with more egalitarian relations of treatment and behavior and the search for ways of developing the expressiveness of children's movement that are more inclusive and that promote experience and autonomy, since early childhood. In this sense, it is understood that sensitive attention is a pedagogical approach that can be present in different and many dance teaching practices, configured in several techniques, methods or processes.
