O LÚDICO NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: INSTRUMENTO DE ENSINO E APRENDIZAGEM

Abstract

Much of the content and meaning of children's play is playful activities in which the child plays some role and imitates that most significant aspect of adult activities and their contact with them. The evolution of the child and the game is related to the environment in which both develop, which will mediate the development of skills and abilities. The methodology used was a literature review with a qualitative approach. The main authors that supported this work were: Kishimoto (2017), Joia (2018) and Andrade (2018). This work was structured as follows: section one (1) contains the introduction, which contains the theories of authors who discussed the topic, the objectives, the justification, the hypotheses and the question. Session two discusses the material and methods used to carry out this literature review and lists the authors who gave their contributions on the topic. In session three, the results and discussion are presented and, last but not least, considerations and recommendations for further studies are made. The results indicated that, for play to become a teaching and learning tool, the following conditions must be met: increase creativity; allow the general development of the child; eliminate excess competitiveness, seeking more cooperative than competitive; give more importance to the process than to the result; establish as a form of cooperative learning that avoids situations of marginalization; be motivating and interesting; and be a challenge for the child, but achievable.
