Entre a aldeia e a escola: A criança indígena e suas brincadeiras

Abstract

This study aims to contribute to the appreciation and preservation of the Terena indigenous culture, with an emphasis on rescuing traditional knowledge and practices that are frequently forgotten in the school context. The research analyzes the relevance of play in the collective school environment, understood as an essential practice for strengthening bonds, preserving cultural identity, and reducing the excessive use of digital devices, whose negative impact manifests itself in cases of anxiety, irritability, sleep and eating disorders, directly reflecting on the performance and learning of children. The study was based on a bibliographic survey, especially from the perspective of the sociology of childhood, which recognizes the child as a social actor and childhood as a generational category. In addition, fieldwork was carried out in the community of the Limão Verde Village, together with the Pólo Lutuma Dias Indigenous Municipal School, located in Aquidauana/MS.
