LUDICITY IN CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT AT THE CHILD EDUCATION CENTER IN CODO, MARANHAO

The research aimed to verify the presence of playfulness in the Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education Maria Luiza Araujo Silva (CMEI) in Codo, Maranhao. In addition, we sought to answer the following question: what contributions of playfulness to the teaching-learning process from the perspective of teachers? The research is of a qualitative nature and the methodological support for investigation occurred through field research carried out at CMEI Maria Luiza Araujo Silva, with observation as an investigation technique. The instrument used to verify the data occurred from the application of questionnaires to teachers. We used as bibliographic support authors such as, Kishimoto (2016); Bacelar (2009); Luckesi (2005); Morais (2014) and we did analyzes of normative documents such as the Federal Constitution of 1988; National Education Guidelines and Bases Law (LDB Law No. 9.394 / 96); National Curriculum Reference for Early Childhood Education (RCNEI); National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), among others. The research also demonstrated, based on applied questionnaires, that playfulness is part of the routine of CMEI teachers Maria Luiza Araujo Silva. Nevertheless, it was observed that recreational activities are not used on a daily basis, with a greater frequency of using the textbook.
