Ludicidade na educação infantil: impactos do uso de recursos pedagógicos no desenvolvimento integral das crianças

Abstract

The use of playful practices in Early Childhood Education has proven to be essential for promoting the comprehensive development of children, encompassing physical, cognitive, emotional, and social aspects. Play, as a natural and spontaneous activity of childhood, proves to be a powerful pedagogical tool capable of enriching educational experiences and strengthening emotional and social bonds. Considering this perspective, this study has the general objective of investigating how the use of playful pedagogical resources in early childhood education influences the comprehensive development of children, covering social, cognitive, emotional, and motor aspects, and the specific objectives of: highlighting how playfulness contributes to emotional development by promoting self-esteem and autonomy; analyzing the effects of playfulness on the social aspect of children by observing the evolution of skills such as interaction and cooperation; identifying the difficulties faced in its implementation of playful activities in early childhood education, including issues of lack of resources and inadequate infrastructure; and to understand the impacts of playful activities on children's motor development. The study's research problem is: What impacts do the use of playful pedagogical resources have on the overall development of children in early childhood education in the city of Ipiranga do Piauí? The methodology used a qualitative approach, initially conducting a bibliographic research based on scholars such as Jean Piaget (1971), Lev Vygotsky (1998), Tizuko Morchida Kishimoto (2017), Rau (2013), among others. For data collection, we used a questionnaire, applied to six teachers from the Mãe Celé and Maricas Lopes preschools in Ipiranga do Piauí - Piauí. From the analysis of the collected data, we can infer that the use of playful pedagogical resources in Early Childhood Education becomes an indispensable ally for the integral development of children covering aspects such as social, cognitive, motor, and emotional.
