O construtivismo como interação intelectual e criativa da aprendizagem: um olhar sobre o ensino religioso na educação infantil

Abstract

The basis of constructivist thinking consists of considering that there is a construction of knowledge and, for this to happen, education must create methods that stimulate this construction of teaching and learning. This vision revolutionized education, which began to value student participation in the learning process where the classroom must be enriched with activities that encompass discussion, reflection and decision-making. Students are responsible for defending, justifying and presenting ideas, that is, for taking the lead in their knowledge construction process. Thus, this study aimed to understand the constructivist actions in Early Childhood Education at the Maçon Luiz Franca Sobrinho Municipal Early Childhood Education School, located in the Praia de Fagundes District of the municipality of Lucena, Paraíba. This is a bibliographic and field research, carried out during the Supervised Internship in Religious Education, in a class of Infant V. To discuss the theme, the works of Dieysa Fossile, Jean Piaget, Terezinha Nunes, Maria José Holmes, among others, were used. The results indicate that the school innovated in methodological strategies, implementing a constructivist method, bringing good results and acceptance from the school community and the municipality as a whole. It is concluded that the constructivist and integral format for Early Childhood Education can be valuable for the education of young children. Not only in schooling and literacy, but in the development of basic skills contained in the country's Common National Curricular Base, that permeate the construction of autonomy, critical participation, protagonism, citizenship and a culture of peace, in which the sciences of religions can, through religious education in early childhood education, where acceptance of others and differences coexists together, considering spaces for detached and natural dialogues with diversity, respect and acceptance of the belief or non-belief of others, building knowledge, concepts and recognizing, valuing the diverse religious practices of everyday life, in the sciences of religions we seek knowledge of religious phenomena and their cultures and the impact they cause on society and seek to study the manifestation of the human phenomenon in religion and the way in which this connects to other dimensions of human knowledge.
