AS IMPLICAÇÕES PEDAGÓGICAS DAS ABORDAGENS CONSTRUTIVISTA E TRADICIONAL NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

The objective of this article is to highlight the main characteristics of contemporary educational models, with a special focus on the Traditional School and the Constructivist Approach when applied to the early years of Early Childhood Education. This study takes into account the ongoing changes in the educational system, examining the fundamental principles of both approaches and providing insights into how they impact pedagogical practice. To achieve this purpose, we conducted a literature review based on authors and works that address early childhood education, pedagogical practices, and teaching approaches. As a result, we emphasize the relevance of the constructivist approach, influenced by theorists such as Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky, in early childhood education. This approach promotes active learning for children, peer collaboration, and social interactions, contributing to cognitive and socio-emotional development.
