O design de mobiliário como fator de contribuição para pedagogias participativas na educação infantil

Abstract

Teaching is a fundamental activity in the development and education of children and its performance is directly related to the environment in which the activity takes place. The beginning of school life occurs in early childhood education, and its purpose is the development of children in their physical, psychological, intellectual and social aspects, complementing the action of family and community. It is in the classroom and in the school environment that students spend most of their time, so it is necessary that their relationship with the school and the feelings experienced due to the interaction that occurs in this space is positive for the children. This research covers areas of psychology, pedagogy and design, to recognize characteristics of Brazilian school furniture inserted in the context of participatory pedagogies. Thus, this work proposes the development of children's school furniture, within the context of participatory pedagogies such as Maria Montessori and Jean Piaget.
