A importância do brincar: reflexões a partir do Estágio Supervisionado em Educação Infantil

Abstract

The present work addresses the importance of playing in early childhood education, constituting a research carried out from the experiences lived in the Supervised Internship (observation and conducting), developed in the Pre-B class, in a Municipal School of Early Childhood Education, carried out in the second semester of 2021. The objective was to understand the possibilities and challenges of including a child with reduced mobility in an early childhood education class, in the context of the return to face-to-face education, after social isolation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. To carry out the research, which has a qualitative nature, field diaries and photos were used as resources to record the observations of the class. Through games, in playful interactions, children learned to respect each other's differences. Thus, the game enabled the children to be supportive, tolerant and welcoming. Playing together, they learned values, interacting as different people, each with their potential, learning to respect each other and live together. In this way, we reaffirm that in play, children develop as people in their entirety, enjoying the experience of being children here and now.
