A diversidade do brincar na educação infantil: a concepção das professoras

Abstract

Playing is a child's right and as such needs to be addressed in the practices of Early Childhood Education in its various forms. Play fosters the integral development of the child as it inserts it into the child's universe. It is a fundamental means of fun, entertainment and learning, that is, the games are basic strategies in Early Childhood Education to reconcile learning and the integral development of the child. This research seeks to analyze the diversity of play in the practices of Early Childhood Education in a school institution in the municipality of Limoeiro-PE. For this purpose, the following objectives were established on the importance of playing in Early Childhood Education; Reflect on the different types of play and their interrelationship with the integral development of the child; To identify the structural conditions for the insertion of play in the curricular practices of Early Childhood Education. Methodologically, a qualitative field research was carried out at an institution in the municipality of Limoeiro / PE that attends to children in Early Childhood Education. As a result, it was possible to identify that most of the teachers of the school have some knowledge about the subject and that despite trying to contribute in some way to the integral development of the child through play, they still can not put into practice the diversity of the play. It is also noted that the institution investigated is very lacking in physical spaces and adequate resources so that the child can play with security and diversity, with a view to their integral development.
