Contação de história infantil no ensino fundamental

Abstract

The theme presented in this monograph, story telling in elementary school, was approached from the premise that story telling can be used as a teaching methodology, offering the possibility of teaching with playfulness for students in the early years of elementary school. Telling stories is a way for students to develop understanding, respect and appreciation for other cultures and can promote a positive attitude towards people from different countries, races and religions. The research that gave rise to this monograph aimed to answer the following question: What are the advantages in using the storytelling method in early childhood education? The methodology covered in the research was bibliographical research, from various sources, with the main authors being: Lima (2015); Santos (2014) and Silva (2018). The result of the research is found in this monograph, organized into three chapters, being: in the first chapter I address the concept of storytelling in early childhood education; in the second I present the objectives of telling the story; and in the third chapter I present the reality of how this process occurs in the classroom. And finally, the final considerations and references follow. At the end of this investigative study, I was able to conclude that storytelling is extremely important for early childhood education. Storytelling allows teachers to enter the lives of students as they form a sense of their own identity. It promotes a sense of community and belonging, enables networks, allows participants to engage in meaning-making, helps develop empathy and self-confidence, and facilitates learning.
