Formação continuada de educadores em Cajapió-MA: uma proposta formativa com ênfase na utilização do espaço escolar na Creche Cajazinho Doce

Abstract

This dissertation sought to investigate the process of continuing education of educators at the Cajazinho Doce Daycare Center in Cajapió - MA, collaborating with the elaboration of a Pedagogical Guidelines Notebook, which results in improving the Continuing Education of the Daycare Center's educators, having as a guiding element the spatial organization, with educational activities that promote interactions and play. The study had as specific objectives: to analyze how Continuing Education in the area of Early Childhood Education of the Municipal Public Education Network of Cajapió - MA, has contributed to the mediation of playful pedagogical practices using various pedagogical spaces, especially at the Cajazinho Doce Daycare Center; to identify, based on teachers' conceptions, whether the organization of spaces at Creche Cajazinho Doce in Cajapió - MA, favors the “rights to learning and development” for children and to propose the construction of a Pedagogical Guidelines Notebook, prepared in collaboration with the educators of Creche Cajazinho Doce in Cajapió - MA. To provide theoretical basis for this investigation, scholars and researchers in the area were (re)visited, such as: Manfroi (2021), Santos (2021) and Pezzi (2023), among others. As methodology, a state-of-the-art literature review and pedagogical intervention, with a qualitative focus, were used; from the point of view of the objectives, it was classified as exploratory research. The data generation instruments used were: participant observation and semi-structured interview. By considering environments as active pedagogical elements, this research sought to demonstrate how teacher training positively influences the creation of contexts that favor the integral development of children. In this way, spaces are conceived not only as physical places, but as territories of experiences. From this perspective, the importance of investing in the ongoing training of educators is reinforced as an essential strategy to guarantee quality education from the earliest years of childhood.
