A PRODUÇÃO DO CONHECIMENTO SOBRE O LÚDICO NO PROCESSO DE ALFABETIZAÇÃO NO CURSO DE LICENCIATURA EM PEDAGOGIA DO IF/GOIANO: UM ESTUDO SOBRE OS TCCs DEFENDIDOS NO PERÍODO DE 2012 - 2020

Abstract

The importance of play in the literacy process in the early years is an epistemological field that has grown and diversified from a theoretical-methodological point of view. This article analyzes the production of knowledge about play in the literacy process based on the TCCs produced in the Pedagogy Degree courses at the IF/Goiano campus Morrinhos and Ipameri, from 2012 to 2020. It aims to know the trends and peculiarities of production academic in this field, in order to support future studies linked to the contributions that playfulness presents to the literacy process of students in the initial years of elementary school. It is a “state of the art of knowledge” research, based on a qualitative research approach and operationalized under the methodological orientation of documentary research. The investigation source was the Ifgoiano repository, where it was possible to access the digital files. Data analysis was based on theoretical input from the fields of playfulness in the literacy process and state-of-the-art research. We conclude that play is essential for human development, being part of the learning path and the construction of knowledge through games, games and toys. And, it should be used both freely and in a directed way, where teachers use play with defined objectives and methodologies, demonstrating awareness of the importance of their action in relation to children's development and learning.
