Memórias do brincar na infância e implicações na docência: um estudo com professoras de uma pré-escola em Tocantinópolis – TO

Abstract

The study in question aims to understand how Early Childhood teachers from a Preschool in the Municipal network of Tocantinópolis - TO perceive their childhood playing experiences represented in adult life experiences, more specifically in the teaching routine. Thus, field work was carried out, at an exploratory level and qualitative analysis. The production of information in the field took place through semi-structured interviews with seven preschool teachers. Questions about playing in the childhood of the research participants, their experiences with such manifestations and implications for teaching, as well as the place of playfulness, in their perception, in the routine of teaching work in Early Childhood Education, were included in the interview script. It was identified, in general terms, that the teachers presented a vast repertoire of games that made up their respective childhoods and showed that playing, to a large extent, makes up the ways of working with children.
