AÇÕES E PROTAGONISMO DA CRIANÇA E DA INFÂNCIA: a Sociologia da Infância por meio de um Projeto de Extensão

Abstract

This article is based on studies and reflections from the GEPCI (Child and Childhood Study and Research Group) at UFMS/CPAQ and presents an excerpt from the research project Child/s and Childhood in the Approach to the Sociology of Childhood, coordinated by Professor Janaina Maia from UFMS/CPAQ. This project aims to explore the theoretical field of Childhood Sociology in a broad and diverse way through directed studies, bibliographical survey and dialogues, enabling new conceptions in relation to the new studies provided by Childhood Sociology. The extension actions of this project are developed through understanding, reflection, understanding and interpretation with academics from the Pedagogy Course, as well as the participation of children from the Public Network in the municipality of Aquidauana/MS. During the activities, children are protagonists, investigating, creating and interacting, developing physical, motor, cognitive, social and emotional aspects, in addition to encouraging exploration, discovery and experimentation. Thus, it is possible to affirm that the project contributes to promoting a more meaningful and comprehensive education for children, through understanding and valuing their childhood, in addition to encouraging dialogue and debate about the Sociology of Childhood among education professionals.
