Spaces; Paulo Freire; Milton Santos; Child education
The work written here aims to analyze the pedagogical intention of educators for the different spaces of a day care center in Alagoas. The methodological aspects start from a qualitative research, which initially makes the theoretical discussion of describing the conceptions of children, childhood and children's culture; to associate Milton Santos' notions about space with the historical, political and pedagogical aspects of institutionalized space in Early Childhood Education, and finally, to relate Paulo Freire's reading of the world with the culture of childhood. The second part of this study is empirical field research, in which a training course is set up for educators at a day care center in the hinterland of Alagoas, with the aim of broadening their perceptions about the role and use of spaces in the day care center and beyond, based on the Thematic Research process in the field of Early Childhood Education. The instruments used for this part of the research are participant observation, photographs, videos, field diary, pedagogical plans. The analysis of these data is handled by Discursive Textual Analysis (MORAES; GALIAZZI, 2011). Among the partial results, we highlight that the teachers have shown themselves to be participatory during the course, actively working to locate local and social demands to think and produce pedagogical proposals that give meaning and meaning to the social role of the day care spaces, beyond the physical aspect.
