Fios das infâncias: produção, transmissão e circulação das culturas infantis no cotidiano da educação infantil

Abstract

The present work aimed to investigate how the production, transmission and circulation of culture among children takes place in the daily life of Early Childhood Education. Considering children as active subjects, who, by attributing meaning to their actions, interpret the world in which they live, become producers of culture, which we call children's cultures. Understanding how these cultures are produced, how they are transmitted among peers and how they circulate through different childhoods can contribute to the teaching work in Early Childhood Education, valuing the place of children and offering greater depth to the listening of boys and girls. The participant observation strategy was chosen to carry out the research stage with children from 2 to 3 years of age. Through Mini-Stories produced by the researcher, based on observation, the production, transmission and circulation of children's cultures were analyzed and experienced. The research was carried out in a private school in the city of Erechim/RS. Data triangulation was the chosen analysis strategy, through which the data produced in the observation and interview stages were analyzed in the light of pedagogical theories. With the development of the research, it was possible to identify that the games go beyond family interaction, and are produced and socialized in schools as Child Cultures. Facing this, I can say that children are producers of cultures, especially in games, and with that, they transmit and make them circulate. Playing is the means by which these three elements happen and we could observe this in the mini-stories presented. It is the time of playing, imagining, learning and interacting that guarantee relations of Children's Cultures.
