A organização dos espaços em creches públicas de Fortaleza sob a percepção de coordenadoras pedagógicas

Abstract

This research aims to identify how to understand the organization of spaces in two municipal day care centers located in the District Educational III in the city of Fortaleza, mediated in action coordinators and their respective groups. Its specific objectives are to know how the pedagogical coordinators use the physical space of the institutions and they propose alternatives to develop a service that prioritizes the interests and the child's autonomy and investigate the work of these coordinators in view of finding elements that support other professionals act in kindergarten to organize environments that give opportunity to children met to express their interests through exploitation of available spaces. As theoretical contributions we rely on studies of Horn (2004), Oliveira (1995, 2001), among others. The investigation was configured as qualitative fieldwork, with characteristics of an ethnographic research in which were carried out observations and semi-structured interviews as data collection strategy. As findings of the survey, it was found that is not enough a beautiful and well-equipped building to ensure a quality education for children in day care, it must be accompanied by a consistent educational project as well as a group of educators trained, attentive needs of children, the right to play and to a consistent and meaningful routine. The study subjects showed that the organization of attractive and challenging spaces for child development requires appropriate framework conditions, political will, coordination with the community and still relevant aspects such as training and changing conceptions of the various segments that make up the teaching unit.
