Early Childhood Education. Ludicity. Families. Educators.
The project is part of the conception of children as a social agent and producer of culture, as well as from the sociocultural perspective of playing. The aim of the study is to analyze the conceptions and practices of Early Childhood Education professionals and families of children in this stage of teaching about the playful dimension in childhood, as a form of language, interpretation of realities, interaction with peers and adults. This theme has great relevance and its study has implications for education and pedagogical practices. Despite the large academic production on the subject, the bibliographic survey pointed out the lack of studies that focus on the conceptions and playful practices in the family and the comparison with the conceptions and practices of early childhood education professionals. The study will use the focus group technique, with the realization of two groups, one with the participation of professionals and the other with families from a Child Education institution. The analysis of the records of the focus groups will be done with the use of the content analysis technique. It is expected that the results of the study contribute to the reflection and change in the pedagogical practices of Early Childhood Education, with the valorization of the playful dimension in the development of children.
