O atendimento educacional hospitalar e o trabalho pedagógico com a linguagem oral na educação infantil

Abstract

The present research deals with hospital educational care and its main objective is to discuss the pedagogical practices that stimulate the oral language of children from zero to five years of age developed in a hospital class at the Onofre Lopes University Hospital - HUOL/EBSERH/UFRN. The choice of the theme was due to my experience as a volunteer scientific initiation scholarship in the research project entitled “Oral and Written Language in Early Childhood Education: analyzing pedagogical practices within a hospital class”. We used the Qualitative Approach to Educational Research as a methodological reference, and to carry out the investigative process we used the following procedures: document analysis, bibliographic analysis and participant observation. The investigation took place at three different times, due to the Covid-19 pandemic: before the pandemic period, in person; during the pandemic period, remotely; and after the gradual resumption, in person. The research allowed us to identify that the hospital class at HUOL ensures access to educational pedagogical care for the needs of the hospitalized child's psychic and cognitive development. Regarding orality, we could observe that pedagogical practices with oral language are carried out in the hospital class of HUOL. In addition, in this educational space, dialogue is constant. At different times children interact, discuss and expose their opinions, ideas, thoughts and feelings. Children have the opportunity to express themselves orally during free play; conversation wheels; and in the moments of storytelling and retelling, in which literature is present.
