Bebês, crianças bem pequenas e literatura em contextos de educação infantil: um estudo da produção científica

Abstract

This final course project in the School of Pedagogy of the Federal University at the Southern Border (UFFS - Campus Chapecó - SC) is a qualitative and bibliographic study guided by the following research problem: how can literature be proposed in early childhood education to recognize and legitimize the specificities of infants and very young children? Its main objective was to know and analyze the contributions of scientific research focused on relations between literature and infants and very young children in early childhood education. To identify specific elements of this theme, a survey and selection of scientific studies was conducted in the databases of the National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Education (ANPEd) and of Google Acadêmico for the period from 2015 to 2020. The historic invisibility of infants in scientific productions in the field of early childhood education became evident, however, the location of a group of 16 studies appears to indicate a growing interest in the theme and a recent movement towards broadening theoretical production about relations between literature, infants and very young children in early childhood education for children from 0 to 5.
