O ESPAÇO E O TEMPO DO BRINCAR NA INSTITUIÇÃO DE EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL DE PROFESSOR JAMIL - GO

Abstract

Creating structure in the space and time to play inside of an Institution of education for children is of fundamental importance to the development of children through play. being this the case, it is necessary to research and debate this theme. A research took place in Professor Jamil, at Escola Municipal Professor Geracy Pereira dos Santos. The objective of this task was to observe how teachers utilise the space and tome allocated to play and to analyse the conception of play in the given institution. To do so we investigated how play time would be handled by the teachers. The aim of this research resolves around the question: What are teachers' perceptions at this institution towards time and space designated to play? The method used in this reserch was of qualitative data, done through oral methods. In this sense, we used questionaries, observations and interviews. Upon analysing the results, it can be concluded that this institution of education in Professor Jamil does not prioritise play time as being an important part of children's development. Instead, they only utilise this time as part of a routine to prevent boredom amonsgst the children. It is therefore safe to conclude that the school's goals are to create adults who will be ready for the work place and that anything in the education plan that falls outside of his requirement is demmed unecessary.
