Contribuições de Célestin Freinet para as ações pedagógicas na Educação Infantil

Abstract

Célestin Freinet defended an education that was beyond his time, criticizing the traditional teaching model of the time, he believed in an innovative model, where the child is the protagonist and education takes place in life, beyond the school. For him, no one learns alone, one needs the other to develop. In this sense, the Course Conclusion Work (TCC) presented here focuses on Célestin Freinet's contributions to pedagogical actions in Early Childhood Education. The general objective is to investigate Célestin Freinet's techniques for working in Early Childhood Education, while the specific objectives are to understand the wall newspaper, the book of life, the class-walk and the work corners. As a methodological procedure, bibliographic research was carried out, consulting the journal portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes), the Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) and the library collection of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), all available online. From this, texts covering Early Childhood Education were selected. Subsequently, they were read, emphasizing the techniques: wall newspaper, book of life, class walk and songs. It was possible to understand that Freinet proposed an active education, centered on the student and the development of autonomy. The wall newspaper reflects the importance of communication and collective work, while the book of life values everyday experiences as a source of learning. A field trip expands the school environment to the outside world, stimulating curiosity and critical observation. These practices enable an active, cooperative and student-centered education, promoting autonomy, creativity and direct participation in the learning process.
