A transição da educação infantil para o ensino fundamental na perspectiva das crianças

Abstract

From the expansion of Elementary School to nine years, six-year-olds became, legally, part of this stage of Basic Education. Many of these children who are entering elementary school had the opportunity to study in preschool. Therefore, this work seeks to highlight the point of view of five children from a municipal school in the city of Salvador about their transition from Early Childhood Education to Elementary School, as well as that of the teacher of the mentioned group of children. Between the main authors used in this work are Sônia Kramer (2002, 2007, 2011 and 2010), Tizuko Kishimoto (2010 and 2011) and Silvia Cruz (2008). It also presents the laws and guidelines that make reference to this expansion and the new age that integrates Elementary School. The The methodology of this work consists of a field research with a qualitative approach. A specific dynamic was formulated to be carried out with the children where, through the information collected, it was possible to understand how they experienced this moment of transition. The teacher of this group of children participated in a semi-structured interview where she showed her position in relation to this moment of transition experienced by children. The results show the need for further reflection about the transition of children from Kindergarten to Elementary School in a that allows them to continue their development and learning process without such drastic breaks.
