Eu já escuto os teus sinais: as assembleias na abordagem Reggio Emília no contexto não-presencial na educação infantil

Abstract

This research has as its theme the listening of children aged 1 to 3 years old from the Reggio Emilia approach, in moments of non-presential assembly. To understand the concept of listening and the practice of assemblies in Reggio Emilia approach, we first opted for a bibliographical research, having some references such as Carla Rinaldi (2014), Adriana Friedmann (2020), Paola Strozzi (2014), Tiziana Filippini (2014), Paulo Freire (2019) and Marília Dourado (2019). Then, to understand how this practice happened with children aged 1 to 3 years old in the non-presential context, a documental analysis of the records – videos, images and notes – of eight non-face-to-face meetings was carried out. From this analysis, four categories were formulated: Body Listening, Oral Listening, Plastic Listening and Music Listening. At the end of this investigation, the author concludes that the children could be heard through the body, oral, plastic and musical languages they expressed, because these reverberated in later actions of the educators, demonstrating that there was a sensitive and powerful listening. In addition to listening during the assembly moments, it was also noticed that the kits assembled for the children and the connection elements designed for the assemblies also revealed themselves as ways of listening to the children. For all these reasons, it is considered that this research has great social relevance, as a contribution for professionals in Early Childhood Education and to add to research in the non-presential context, caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
