O DESENVOLVIMENTO INTEGRAL DA CRIANÇA NA PERSPECTIVA DE HENRI WALLON: DA HISTÓRIA SOCIAL DA INFÂNCIA À EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

Since its implementation, through the 1988 Federal Constitution, Early Childhood Education has undergone many transformations, however, always concerned with the integral development of the child. This concern leads institutions to seek and make use of studies by countless authors committed to the integral development of children, such as Henri Wallon (1975), who supports the work developed within school institutions, given the importance of their research on the role of the school environment in the integral education of the child. In this context, the objective of this research is to analyze how school education should be a privileged locus for the child's development in Wallon's perspective. The interest in research arose in the face of theoretical readings, as well as the practice of curricular internship in Early Childhood Education, carried out in the Pedagogy course, which made it possible to verify the work developed in schools that promote activities and experiences that enhance child development, in addition to valuing child development. pedagogical work in its physical, affective aspects. It is a bibliographic research, based on Wallon (1975) and complemented by authors such as Heywood (2004), Kuhlmann Jr. (2010), Rosemberg (2019), among others, analyzing how this scope of Early Childhood Education enables situations differentiated developmental conditions for the child. It is evident that in Wallonian theory, the educational institution should not privilege either physical aspects or cognitive or affective aspects, but must understand them in an articulated way in the process of learning and child development, creating educational possibilities for the child, who are important for your daily life, envisioning your integral development. As a result, it is expected that this study can contribute to the training of professionals who work directly or indirectly in early childhood education.
