Didática para a Educação Infantil: implicações do materialismo histórico dialético e da Teoria Histórico-Cultural

In this article, we discuss the contributions of Didactics for intentional pedagogical action of teachers devoted to children education. In this sense, we initially say to be essential the reflections which aim to search for foundations focused on the mobilization of future teachers for the action-reflection-action about the educational phenomena, aiming at the unveiling, with rigor and objectivity, of its multiple determinations within the capitalist relations . We believe that such unveiling is only possible in the light of a world view, a method and a praxis constituted in unison with historical materialism and its dialectic. Afterwards, we reflect on some of the principles of the Historical-Cultural Theory to understand of the active and mediator role teachers have in the process of humanization of young children and contributions of dialectical materialism to this reflection. Finally are detailed some aspects of a Didactics focused on training teachers for Children and early elementary school years’ education, which have guided our actions as teachers of the Pedagogy Course and reiterated by teachers’ narratives about their experience both in life and teaching, in search of new systematization modes, targeting an educational praxis due to the redefinition (theorization) and on the teaching practice by its very subjects.

Reflexões sobre a educação infantil: contribuições da teoria histórico-cultural

Este texto apresenta nossos olhares sobre a criança e a educação infantil sob o ponto de vista de Vigotski e seus colaboradores, a partir de pesquisas em nível de mestrado e de doutorado com foco na infância entre zero e seis anos. Nele trazemos parte dos resultados de estudos bibliográficos: ainda hoje permanecem idéias de criança e de educação embasando um processo sistemático de antecipação da escolaridade, transformando a criança em escolar, como se o ensino forçado respondesse às reais necessidades de desenvolvimento humano neste momento da vida. Em lugar disso, a perspectiva histórico-cultural anuncia uma nova compreensão de criança, de educação infantil, de infância e de professor/a, como alicerce teórico para a organização de uma nova escola da infância.

Concepções de 'palavra' em escolas de educação infantil

We searched for which conceptions twenty-three Kinden garden teachers would have of “word”, as well as for “echoes” from these conceptions in their 4-6 years old pupils. Essentially all the teachers showed a graphic and semantic conception of “word”. “Echoes” from these conception were detected in part of their pupils. The other part of children showed a conception in which could be detected enunciative, pragmatic and discursive aspects of language. Conception of teachers indicates ruptures between their pedagogic activities with literacy and their pedagogic activities with language unities such as word. These ruptures, however, not necessarily were made by part of children, who seems integrate language and literacy.

Pacifier use is very common among children, but despite being considered a harmless article, there is ample evidence of their misdeeds. Therefore, concern about its use is great for us who work in the promotion of breastfeeding. It is this delicate subject in schools because the child, in most cases, already goes to school with the habit installed. The pacifier use may interfere with speech aspect, because the child can come to the wrong talk, dental, dental occlusions, may cause bacterial contamination and encourage early weaning. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of pacifier use among children of pre - school and knowledge of educators about the role of pacifier and its consequences. The research methodology was based on a questionnaire to teachers, monitors and direction and determine the prevalence of pacifier use with parents. According to the result, we developed an orientation for school. The results show that of the 57 children at the age of 4 months to 3 years, 50.88% used a pacifier, 92.98% and 96.49% used the bottle were breastfed. The guidance given after the data collection has clarified many questions for educators. We conclude that the methodology was effective because we can collect data addressing quantitative and qualitative questions and managed to get percentages on pacifier use and breastfeeding and student opinions, comments and more relevant phrases that emerged from parents and educators, complementing the result. Furthermore, through the data, it was possible to do an intervention. The results indicate that half of the children between 4 months and 3 years investigated makes use of a pacifier, so despite the advice given, it would be important to follow up these data over the next few years. We also conclude that a partnership is needed between parents and the school, because if the family does not help, you can not work in school guidance

O Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso na área de Arte e Educação terá por objetivo refletir sobre a temática da “Arte-educação” tendo como problemática central “A importância da arte-educação na educação infantil”. A importância arte no desenvolvimento infantil é indiscutível, pois a experiência artística é um fator humanizador, cultural, que cria inúmeras significações e produz em cada um a percepção da própria capacidade de transformação, além de proporcionar a oportunidade de desenvolvimentos de potenciais, comunicação e interação. Portanto, a arte-educação, uma abordagem, influenciada pelo pósmodernismo, que tem como objetivo fundamental o desenvolvimento da habilidade crítica de interpretação das obras de arte, assim como dos elementos visuais que compõem a vida contemporânea, levando em conta o contexto social e cultural, faz com que as crianças tenham, além do encorajamento de sua originalidade, liberdade e espontaneidade, um ensino que se sustenta na inter-relação entre história da arte, leitura da obra e o fazer artístico. Para tal estudo será tratada a história da arte no Brasil, a arte na escola brasileira desde os seus primórdios, a importância desta para a formação do ser social infantil. A metodologia utilizada para a elaboração e desenvolvimento deste trabalho se realizará através da abordagem qualitativa, feita por pesquisa bibliográfica para justificar a problemática em questão.
