Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Pedagogia EaD) - Centro de Educação, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2022.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/50827This term paper aims to analyze the importance of playfulness in the pedagogical practice of early childhood education, in the teaching-learning process, experiences and interactions between teachers and students in the classroom. The playfulness in playing, in the objects that are built as toys, in the games, recreations and other arts in the educational practice, help the construction of the teacher's protagonism in the preschool education classroom. From a clipping of experiences of early childhood teachers, using oral history as a source, it is demonstrated the significant role of the application of playfulness for a meaningful teaching-learning process for children. Therefore, it is concluded that without the use of playfulness, children may have a deficit in their cognition, for not having learned by playing.Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/br/InfânciaChildhoodLudicidadePlayfulnessEducação infantilPreschool educationbachelorThesis
