Abstract

This Course Conclusion Paper (TCC) is presented in its construction on the theme of “Educating and Caring: The Look of Teachers in the Daily Life of Early Childhood Education”. The choice of the theme arose throughout the academic course in Pedagogy at the Federal University of the Southern Frontier - Erechim Campus (UFFS), in which several subjects were addressed, including Education and Care in Early Childhood Education. Thus, the need for a more detailed study on the subject was noticed, as well as a need to identify and analyze the conceptions that the educators working in Early Childhood Education highlight on Educating and Caring in their daily lives with young and very young children. To this end, the problem of this work aims to emphasize: "What conceptions do teachers who work in Early Childhood Education have about the Education and Care of children aged from 0 to 5 years old?". It was sought like this, we sought to understand what conceptions the teachers working in Early Childhood Education have about the act of Educating and Caring being present in their daily lives with children. In order to achieve the objective of the research, a qualitative approach was used as a methodological approach, with the use of field and bibliographic research, involving the application of questionnaires for the results. In order to exemplify the results and as a theoretical basis to expand the research, we used documents like the Referential Curriculum Nationals for the Childhood Education (1998), Revision of Guidelines Curriculum Nationals for the Childhood Education (2009) and authors like Barbosa (2009) e Didonet (2001), among others were used. Throughout the analysis of the teachers' answers, it was possible to identify the contemplation of the act of Educating and Caring as they explain in their conceptions about the theme, demonstrating that the act of educating and caring are inseparable and that one complements the other.
