Escola e Família: Parceria Essencial na Educação Infantil para o Desenvolvimento de uma Educação Integral das Crianças

Abstract

Since Early Childhood Education, family involvement is essential for the child's de- velopment in school, contributing to learning and formation. Based on this, the fol- lowing issues were raised: What are the relationships between families and Early Childhood Education? How does this affect Children's Integral Education? In this sense, the general objective is to identify aspects of knowledge production about the first stage of Basic Education and relate it to family and Integral Education.To achieve this, a bibliographic research was conducted, consulting the Periodicals Portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Ca- pes), the online library Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and the Insti- tutional Repository of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) (CPan)- Pantanal Campus, using the descriptors "Early Childhood Education and family" and "Early Childhood Education, Integral Education, and family". Texts in Portuguese were selected and analyzed based on Bardin's content analysis (1977). The fol- lowing categories were identified: "Relationship between family and Early Childhood Education", "Relationship between family and Early Childhood Education in rural areas", "Communication between family and Early Childhood Education", and "Fa- mily, Early Childhood Education, and Integral Education". It was found that the partnership between families and Early Childhood Education institutions influences the child's learning process and consequently the development of Integral Educa- tion.Therefore, family partnership is important for support, exchanges, and experi- ences, as families and schools generate information, experiences, and knowledge related to children.
