Crianças no pátio escolar :a utilização dos espaços e o comportamento infantil no recreio

The interest for understanding the relationship of the child with its environment has increased in the whole world during the last few years. Several researchers, using Environmental Psychology as basis, have analyzed the implications of this relation for the child development and the organization of playful spaces. Being a place where children spend a great part of their time and develop many intellectual and social abilities, the school becomes one of the main focus of this research. This study investigated different sectors of the outdoor area of NEI -UFRN, during the recreation time, in which the use of space and the interaction between children were analyzed, through the observation of the child behavior (place-centered and individual-centered mapping). The results had disclosed that the school s outdoor area and its equipments presents a great range of choices possible to the children, however its occupation is not uniform: there are areas very used and others almost without use. Generally, this heterogeneity happens again in relation to the distribution of the interaction states in the sectors, the friendly associative behavior being the most present. The observation of children behaviors favored a better understanding of the use of the spaces, and contributed for discussion about the environment what these users really need for a healthy development, including differences in related to gender, age and daytime. In spite of the studied outdoor areas being vast, pleasant and varied, it needs a better distribution of its equipments and a plan that allows greater children participation in the place organization

A criança com paralisia cerebral na educação infantil: um olhar sobre a prática docente

La inclusión de los niños con discapacidad en la educación infantil, además de ser un tema poco planteado en la comunidad científica, es un reto actual en lo que se refiere a la práctica docente. Basándose en este aspecto, nuestro objetivo en esta investigación realizada, que resultó en la elaboración de este trabajo, fue analizar cómo se procesa la práctica docente con vistas a la inclusión escolar de un niño con parálisis cerebral, en un Centro Municipal de Educación Infantil (CMEI), en la ciudad de Natal / RN. Más específicamente, buscamos: reflexionar sobre la práctica de la profesora responsable por la clase, en lo que se refiere al desarrollo del niño con parálisis cerebral; analizar las interacciones entre educador y niño con parálisis cerebral; observar la práctica docente en la perspectiva de favorecer la interacción entre el niño con parálisis cerebral y otros niños. Para ello, realizamos una pesquisa exploratoria, cualitativa, y así que optamos por el método del Estudio de Caso. Utilizamos como procedimientos metodológicos el análisis documental, la investigación bibliográfica, la entrevista semiestructurada, la observación y la filmación de escenas relacionadas a la práctica docente. Los sujetos de la investigación fueron la profesora y el niño con parálisis cerebral. Los datos construidos durante la investigación señalaron el hecho de que la práctica de la profesora no estaba encaminada a las necesidades específicas de la alumna con parálisis cerebral, todavía, se desarrollaba de una manera similar para todos los niños en la clase. La presencia de limitaciones significativas para la inclusión de la niña con parálisis cerebral en la educación infantil puede ser considerado como el resultado de la ausencia de una adecuada preparación docente, tanto en el nivel de la formación inicial, cuanto de una formación continua y también la escasez de directrices para el maestro, en proceso; directrices estas acerca de la educación de los niños con parálisis cerebral, lo que hacía imposible a la profesora contribuir de manera efectiva a su mayor desarrollo cognitivo y social.
