O desenho na Educação Infantil: o que dizem as professoras?

Abstract

In this research we used Vygotsky's (1991) and Pimenta's (1999) theories as references to discuss children's drawings and teachers' knowledge about this language. Our general objective was to investigate the teaching knowledge about drawing in the pedagogical practices of Early Childhood Education teachers in a municipal school at Vitória de Santo Antão-PE. For that matter a qualitative research was conducted, inspired by the methodology of the case study and focusing on eight teachers who worked in the same institution with children aged 4 to 5 years old. Thus, an interview was conducted with semi-structured questions to understand the teaching knowledge of the teachers participating in the research on children’s drawing. We can see that even though the teachers understand the matter of meaningful activities involving children's drawing, we still evidence practices that do not consider the interests and socio-emotional issues of the child. Amid this scenario, we can identify the need to think about the initial and continued training of teachers of Early Childhood Education, additionally material resources that guarantee the learning and development rights expressed in the BNCC (BRASIL, 2018), related to the work with children's drawing.
