Desenvolvimento infantil: uma análise observacional do primeiro ano de vida em um CMEI

Abstract

The Municipal Early Childhood Education Centers (CMEIs) are institutions that help guarantee children's right to education and the care necessary for their growth. However, it is often asked what babies learn in CMEIs, since they are still very young. In this sense, this work aims to analyze the development process of babies, seeking to identify the main learning and development objectives and the knowledge that these children can acquire in this environment. To this end, an exploratory qualitative research was carried out in three steps: bibliographic survey, observation guided by a script and analysis of the data obtained. To understand child development, we draw on the contributions of developmental psychologist Lev S. Vygotsky. At the end of the analysis, it was found that the children develop broad and fine motor coordination, visual perception, pincer movement and also learn to distinguish colors and shapes of objects, etc. It is understood that this integral development occurs through social interactions and that care is an essential part of this process, and it is verified that these actions are guided by legal documents.
