A relevância da ludicidade no processo de ensino aprendizagem na educação infantil

Abstract

Early childhood education is a crucial phase in the development of individuals. This phase demands an active pedagogical approach that goes beyond the simple transmission of content. In this sense, play stands out as an essential teaching and learning methodology for the construction of children's knowledge. We assume that playing is an activity inherent to children in childhood and this is fundamental for the development of playful pedagogical practices, since they are provided for in the national curricular guidelines and Curricular Parameters for Early Childhood Education. This study aims to understand the relevance of playfulness in the teaching-learning process in early childhood education. Understanding and analyzing playfulness in the context of early childhood education is necessary within the scope of this study. Regarding the methodological aspects, this work was constructed through a bibliographic review, with the aim of fulfilling the proposed objectives. Through the analysis of articles, books and other materials that discuss the relationship between playfulness and learning, we conducted a qualitative research that allowed us to obtain the results presented. Finally, our study reaffirms the importance of playful practices in the teaching-learning process, especially in the context of early childhood education, and points to ways for their greater integration into school curricula. We emphasize that playfulness needs to be seen as a tool capable of promoting not only the development of the intellect, but also the personal and social growth of the child, contributing to the integral development of students.
