A importância do lúdico no desenvolvimento e no processo de ensino e aprendizagem da criança

Abstract

Play is a child's reference, and they are subjected to this practice from their earliest years of life. Playing is important at all stages of life, but it is even more essential in childhood. In this sense, this article aims to understand how play can help in children's relationships and interactions in early childhood education, contributing to their development and learning. Through bibliographic research, we sought to understand the importance of play in children's cognitive development, and studies show that children acquire attitudes and skills through playing and games, and from this they begin to have another position when faced with challenges, whether arising from a playful nature (game situation) or from a school nature (learning), and these can stimulate knowledge and the desire to learn in each child. Thus, with this work we seek to answer the question: can playfulness, such as games, toys and play, be used to promote child development and assist in the relationship between children's teaching and learning?. In this path of effective practices in the teaching-learning process using playfulness, through the analyses carried out in this study, it is possible to deduce that through a diversified methodology in relation to playfulness, the child's learning and development processes will be increasingly improved and more effective for the construction of new knowledge. Through the analyses presented throughout the research, it is possible to affirm that play acts as a tool to assist early childhood education teachers and is of utmost importance for the child's development since games and play awaken integral and healthy growth in the child.
