FROM THE MOTHER'S FEELING OF CONFIDENCE TO THE BABY'S POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING - A CASE STUDY BASED ON THE PIKLER APPROACH
Sounds, colors, rhythms, smells, shapes, gestures and movements, the baby feels, the baby learns and in this dissertation he will be our teacher. Crossings with the Pikler Approach will be our reference adult in this research. Crawling with the problem-question: how does the training of caregivers of babies contribute to the baby-adult relationship and to the development of babies in the context of the pandemic? And, aiming at the contributions of the training of caregivers, inspired by the Pikler approach, the baby-adult relationship and the development of babies during the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, it will seek to account for the following specific objectives: 1) characterize the baby's autonomous activity when playing before participating in the training process; investigate the contributions of training in the baby's autonomous activity when playing at the end of the training process; 2) analyze the adult's perception of the baby's autonomous activity when playing before and after the training process and 3) investigate the contributions of training in the adult's attitude of trust when observing the baby playing at the end of the training process. An action-research proposal inspired by the Piklerian proposal for the education of babies, which begins with the training of baby caregivers, supporting the baby's main autonomous activity, playing, and is reinforced and expanded by observation, underpin our “play space”, our research methodology.
