Estudos Pedagógicos

Abstract

This project aims to obtain credits for the teaching units, Fundamentals of Early Childhood Education and Current Trends in Teaching Arts, Body and Movement. To this end, a hypothetical problem situation was created as the basis for a proposal for pedagogical intervention in order to promote the development of meaningful learning. To stimulate artistic interest, as an indispensable instrument in the process of intellectual and human construction, this work aims to demonstrate that art is extremely important in the education of children, since it encompasses from the development of their thought processes to perceptual and emotional development, awakening their social awareness and their creative skills. Because it is through the media, dances, theater, dramatic games, paintings, drawings, music and reading that children manifest art in their daily lives. According to one of the main theoretical founders of the area: "If we consider that creation consists, in its true psychological sense, of doing something new, it is easy to come to the conclusion that we can all create to a greater or lesser degree and that creation is a normal companion. and permanent development of children. " (Vygotsky, 1982: 46)
