“Ser professor é uma profissão que exige sim, dedicação, pesquisa, estudo e empatia”: intencionalidades da prática pedagógica exitosa de uma professora de crianças com dois anos.

Abstract

Pedagogical work with young children daily challenges professionals who work in Early Childhood Education. It is based on the challenges faced and the demands that arise in everyday school life that teachers begin to weave their pedagogical work. In this research process, the work of a teacher from the municipal network in the city of Recife-PE, certified as a teacher with successful practices, was monitored. This monitoring aimed to understand the intentions present in the pedagogical practice with two-year-old children of the aforementioned teacher. The research had a qualitative character, using observation and recording in a field diary as a basic procedure. Data analysis was carried out using the content analysis technique from the perspective of Bardin (2016). At the end of the study, it was verified the presence of pedagogical intentions in carrying out the activities proposed in the routine with the aim of providing meaningful experiences to children. Furthermore, the researched teacher demonstrated that she is aligned with a conception of children that sees them as socio-historical subjects. To this end, he proposed experiences that add to the learning and development of children, with interaction and play as the structuring axes of his practice and sharpening the senses to listen carefully to what children have to say. In this way, his pedagogical practice can be considered successful, as his planning is based on reflections and study, which consider the guidelines of official documents, linked to affective experiences and a sensitive look at the child.
