Educação infantil: a importância da primeira fase da educação básica

Abstract

In Brazil, children's education went through a number of processes until it was recognized in its functions and carried out in its pedagogical practice caring and educating, in an inseparable way, with a view to promoting the development of children from 0 to 5 years of age. Based on this understanding, this work was completed with the purpose of analyzing how Child Education is given in a Reference Center on Early Childhood Education (CREI), based on the proposal that education at this stage should work in these institutions without dissociating care and educate them, offering the child a quality education guaranteeing their integral development. Understanding that the child is the main user of the educational environment, it was necessary that there be an investigation to know what contributions and care that this institution offers to children from 0 to 5 years of age. In the theoretical framework that underlies our research, we study authors such as Paschoal and Machado (2009), Barbosa (2009) and Oliveira (2010), and among the national documents we can cite the Federal Constitution (1988) the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (1996), the National Curriculum Framework for Early Childhood Education (1998), the National Quality Parameters for Early Childhood Education (2006), and the National Curriculum Guidelines for Early Childhood Education (2010). The work was developed from a field research, in a qualitative and characterized as exploratory approach. He used as an instrument a field diary where observations were recorded during the period in which we remained in the field. As a result of our research noted that the child institution in its pedagogical practice still needs to be rethought when it comes to child development. Caring is very important for the child to feel confident and comfortable, but the need to educate and indispensable for the learning and development of the child.
