Currículo e educação infantil: reflexões a partir das políticas educacionais e do estágio curricular

Abstract

This text is the result of studies carried out during the undergraduate course in Pedagogy and mainly considers the training in the disciplines of Internship in Early Childhood Education 1 and 2, in which we were able to deepen readings and reflections on the curricular policies directed at this segment of education, in addition to reflecting on the relationship between teaching concepts and the planning of activities, materials and routines developed with children from zero to three years old. To guide the study, the following research problem was elaborated: what concepts of children, early childhood education and curriculum guide the routines in daycare? The main objective is to discuss pedagogical practices aimed at working with children between zero and three years old, taking as reference the guidelines present in the National Curricular Guidelines for Early Childhood Education (BRASIL, 2009), in the National Common Curricular Base for Early Childhood Education (BRASIL, 2017) and in the Tocantins Curricular Document (TOCANTINS, 2019). The research was structured through documentary analysis and also in a case study, using participant observation and recording of information in an internship field diary as data collection techniques. The results showed that despite the achievements made through educational legislation regarding the guarantee of rights and the guidance of educational planning and practices, much still needs to be done so that institutional daily life is in fact aligned with the regulations that guide pedagogical work in daycare centers.
