Percepção de professores acerca da educação psicomotora no ensino infantil

Abstract

The current research was conducted in the public institution, in the city of João Pessoa-PB. This study investigates the perceptions of teachers of early childhood education and the relationship they have with the teaching methodology used in class. The goal of the study was to determine whether teachers of early childhood education have knowledge about psicomotricity, considering its importance to the development and learning of the human being. It was also sought to know whether these same teachers use psicomoticity in their teaching methodology, considering that it is essential to work on the psychomotor aspects of their students to achieve academic success. The teachers of early childhood education from the chosen institution took part on the study. As to the research methodology it was a study case in a qualitative approach. For that it was developed a instrument classified as survey, divided into two parts, the first with objective answers and the second with open answers. From this research it was concluded that teachers of early childhood education have no knowledge of what is psicomotricity and hence do not use it in their teaching methodology. Situation that can be worked by other professionals, as for example, the psychopedagogist, also stated in the study. It was also possible to conclude that the failure of teachers in not comprising the psychomotor development aspects is due to the fact that it is not a subject explored in their graduations.
