A Importância da afetividade na educação infantil

Abstract

This final course work is a research project on affectivity in early childhood education. The interest in this topic arose through supervised internships of the degree course in Pedagogy and also because realized during the course that affectivity and learning are two elements that are related to each other in the educational context, in the development of the individual and in the teaching process. Thus, I focused on the research question: how can affectivity influence the educational development of children and the teacher-student relationship in early childhood education, specifically, with regard to the age group 4 to 5 years and 11 months old? Regarding the general objective, I sought to analyze how affectivity in the school environment can influence the educational development of children and the teacher-student relationship in early childhood education. The Specific Objectives: To address the importance of the child as a thinking being, presenting the relevance of their emotional and psychological issues; To understand how the teacher-student relationship interferes in the teaching-learning relationship in the intricacies of affectivity; To verify through research the importance of affection for early Childhood Education. As a research methodology, this work is composed of a bibliographical research and has in its approach the qualitative method with case study. The case study was carried out at the Dr. José Lopes Ribeiro Indigenous School, of the public education network in the city of Rio Tinto-PB, voluntarily with two teachers. As a theoretical contribution, I focused on the works of authors such as Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934), Jean Piaget (1896-1980) and Henri Wallon (1879-1962), authors who reinforce the idea that affection is not a secondary aspect, but rather, central to the educational process, especially in early childhood education, where children are forming the bases of their identity, selfesteem and forms of social interaction. The research highlights that affection in early childhood education not only enhances cognitive learning, but also contributes to the child's development, influencing emotional balance, strengthening both their educational aspects and their personal development.
