Vamos brincar lá fora?!? a educação física na educação infantil

Abstract

This paper presents a reflection and analysis on the role of Physical Education in kindergarten, seeking to understand the insertion of a physical education teacher in this context and possible interventions with children from 0 to 5 years. The research begins in the child's experiences of the author and the importance of these to her career choices. After this. proposes a number of restlessness about the physical education activities with children in early childhood education.In the data collection were performed records in videos and photographs of the activities with children, questionnaire with teachers of the institution and theoretical references relevant to the subject. In this context, it was noted that it is necessary to look for theoretical foundations in order to clarify the importance of physical education teacher to engage in a pedagogical purpose of this stage of education, considering that the experiences offered to children are not separated by disciplines and should prioritize the play and the movement. It was found that there are several bibliographies that address the issue of the movement in early childhood education, games, psicomotricity and motor development, but there is a shortage of materials that are able to understand the teaching practice in physical education classes to ensure the child's right to play and interact. The playing and the movement cannot be reduced as a pedagogical support for cognitive learning as literacy, or the development of skills that will be used in the future. After these reflections, it can be concluded that the pedagogical actions of a physical education teacher in early childhood education can contribute to the full development of the child, as she learns all the time, play all the time and moves all the time, but only if all this is allowed.
