A literatura de Ruth Rocha e sua influência na aprendizagem e no desenvolvimento infantil no contexto escolar

Abstract

Children's literature plays a crucial role in the learning and development process of children. Therefore, this study aims to analyze bibliographic works on children's literature, highlighting their influence on children's social, emotional, and cognitive development, with an emphasis on the contributions of Ruth Rocha's literature. To achieve this, the following specific objectives were established: (a) to understand the importance of children's literature through the analysis of relevant literary works; (b) to identify, based on bibliographic references, the impact of literature on learning and child development in the school context; and (c) to examine how literature contributes to children's cognitive, emotional, and social development. Theoretically, this research is based on authors such as Liberman (1985), Candido (1986), and Cardemartori (1986). Methodologically, according to Gil (2010), this is a qualitative study in nature, exploratory in its objectives, and bibliographic in terms of procedures, focusing on the analysis of Ruth Rocha’s literary production and its contributions to learning and child development in the school environment. The findings suggest that the playful narrative and themes addressed by Ruth Rocha stimulate critical thinking, creativity, and the formation of core values in childhood.
