Experiência no estágio curricular obrigatório da educação infantil: em busca da articulação entre ludicidade, prática docente e materiais didáticos

Abstract

This report aims to highlight the use of playful teaching materials and their importance in the context of the reference classroom in early childhood education, based on the activities developed during the Supervised Internship in Early Childhood Education, held at the Poti Cavalcanti Municipal School, in April 2024. The internship is a mandatory part of the Pedagogy course at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), providing practical experience of teaching with young children. It was possible to reflect on the process experienced, in order to establish, through theory and practice, an understanding of playful teaching materials and their contributions to development and learning in early childhood education, as well as how to use them in the classroom. The reflection on the practice made it possible to understand that the internship experience needs to be planned and developed based on the curricular guidelines of the area, such as the BNCC, respecting the function of early childhood education and the ways in which children are and exist in the world. It is believed that playfulness plays a fundamental role in the development, autonomy and learning of children, and that games and play are essential in this process. Therefore, activities were developed using playful teaching materials, designed and produced with the aim of meeting the needs of the class and promoting maximum participation from children.
