Abstract

This study addresses the issue of planning towards early childhood education, aiming at analyzing how the process of construction and practice of teachers from a Child Education Center in the city of Quixadá / CE are elaborated. This research has a qualitative approach, and in order to collect data it was applied the interview and observations methods regarding to planning and pedagogical practices of the teachers, as well as their activities in class of early childhood education. From the data collecting, it was found that the teachers consider the planning as a very important subject in order to guide their work in classroom. However, it was also noticed a bureaucratic view on planning. Therefore, it was realized that the relationship between the process of construction and the implementation of the class plan is restricted to the plan itself without taking into account the specificities of children, resulting in a work focused on implementing activities which emphasize copying and memorizing letters, words or texts. Hence, those practices are performed from strategies which reveal to be without proper adjustments and without a reflective practice. Nonetheless, such practices should take into account the children’s individual interests, then they could foment the educator’s teaching abilities and an improvement on mediating activities aimed at the children. Thus, according to the results on the data analysis, it is realized that it is necessary a change concerning the teachers’ perception on how they develop their pedagogical practices.
