A construção de valores: análise da prática pedagógica dos professores de educação infantil

Abstract

This work deals with the theme: the building values in kindergarten. Aimed to verify the values in pedagogical practices of teachers of early childhood education, and the relationship between these values and the values set by the school documents and educational legislation. This study arose from questions about the role of schools in shaping values from the early years of a child's life. The questions focused on analyzing which teachers build values in the classroom with their students and compare them with the values that are present in the documents that guide the educational work. Therefore, we sought to qualitatively scope and interpretive descriptive method to build the research. Were used as data collection instruments: questionnaire, observations and document analysis. The analysis and discussion of the data was performed using the triangulation of results. Were found, three categories: training values, relationship between teaching practice and documents in building values and teaching methodologies and in building values in kindergarten. Regarding the formation of values all teachers develop values based on their beliefs and life experience, only one teacher mentions the school documents as source of guidance for working with values. Most teachers use appropriate methods for the age group comprising early childhood education, however the values are not provided for, the teachers only work if situations arise that need.
