O berçário como contexto das DCNEI Nº 5/2009 e a prática pedagógica com bebês: um estudo em uma EMEI de Santa Maria/RS

Abstract

This dissertation aimed to investigate the relation between the pedagogical practices of the teacher of a baby nursery in a Public School of Early Childhood Education in Santa Maria/RS, and the propositions of the National Curriculum Guidelines for Early Childhood Education (approved by CNE / CEB No. 20/09 and Resolution CNE / CEB No. 05/09) for the teaching of children that are younger than six years old. In this process we tried to (a) understand the implications and possibilities of implementation of these Guidelines in the school and the teacher‟s practice, (b) understand the movements that policies have to be effective in practice, (c) discuss the concept of education of babies expressed in legal document by the teacher. The methodology chosen to conduct the research was qualitative, having its basis in the approach of the policy cycle because we understand that for a policy to be implemented or not, it is necessary to consider all of its interfaces, since its production in the macro contexts until their interpretations and changes in micro contexts. The subjects of the study were the teacher of Baby Nursery II and the director of the School of Early Childhood Education, as a source of information, we used the field diary, participant observation and structured interview. For data analysis, we opted for the content analysis, in which by the different methodological tools, the information and narratives of education professionals were characterized. As a result, it is noteworthy that although there is still misinformation about the current policies of Early Childhood Education, the conception of the child / baby is related to the legal propositions, however the pedagogical practice is justified almost exclusively by the knowledge of caring and educating, considering the actions of caring by feeding and having hygiene practices, and educating by school practices, which do not consider the baby as the protagonist of the action of being in the world.
