O lúdico na educação infantil

Abstract

To understand the importance of play and its relationship with early childhood education I appropriated works by authors studied throughout my trajectory in the pedagogy course and selected those that best contribute to the understanding of this subject. Thus, to elaborate this monograph I carried out investigative studies of qualitative nature, through bibliographic research, with in-depth readings of the following authors: Maria Montessori; Lev Semionovitch Vygotsky; Jean Piaget. The investigative study that gave rise to this Monograph allows me to affirm that the child must grow with pleasure and joy, need to play, need the game as a way of balancing it and the world. Therefore, play is for the child an exercise in preparation for life. The child develops his knowledge by interacting with the physical and social environment, satisfying his own needs and trusting the people around them. The playful, for the child, is a form of expression and communication with the world.
