“Pro, tá todo mundo na janela"!Círculos curriculares formacionais sobre a escuta das crianças no currículo da Educação Infantil

Abstract

Technical-technological production “Teacher, everyone is at the window!” Training Curricular Circles on Listening to Children in the Early Childhood Education Curriculum was born from the results of research Chattering by children in Early Childhood Education: a proposal for Training Curricular Circles from listening to children in a public institution. It presents a proposal for continuing education with listening to the child as its structuring axis. It is intended for all teachers, class assistants, professionals supporting special children, the pedagogical coordinator and managers of the school where the research took place. Its general objective is to innovate the ongoing training of Early Childhood Education (EI in its Portuguese acronym) teachers, with children and their voices as the structuring axis of the information process. The specific objectives are: instigating discussions and reflections on listening to children as a formative act; raising awareness to perceive and understand the powerful formative movement that can be constituted in the processes of listening, relating, interpreting and echoing children’s voices in the curriculum practiced in everyday life; providing feedback to the teachers’ education process based on the children and listening to their voices; and redefining the place reserved for children, both in daily curricular actions and in the training of EI teachers. In this process, children are understood as historical beings with rights who actively participate in society in all spaces and issues that involve them. Therefore, based on them and their chattering expressed during the investigation, dialogues will be established with the teachers’ experiences and curricular practices, intertwining them with theoretical-methodological bases of the research carried out, which is linked to childhood pedagogy, childhood sociology and the conception of curriculum as a daily creation of the subjects who make the curriculum happen in the daily life of EI formative spaces. It is expected to provoke updates and innovations in teacher training based on listening to children and consequently to redefine the place of children and their voices in teacher education, in curricular practices and in daily life of Early Childhood Education.
