Projeto água na educação infantil: o brincar com a água e na água a partir do olhar dos adultos

Abstract

The main focus of this study was to identify the meanings of aquatic activities for those responsible for the Water Project actions. The research was carried out with a teacher from the Education Center (CEDU), a teacher from the Institute of Physical Education and Sport and a monitor from the Physical Education course. The research was descriptive, as it aimed to observe, record and analyze the phenomena, without interference from the studied group, therefore, the instrument used for data collection was the semi-structured interview. For the analysis and interpretation of the data, we opted for content analysis with the objective of ordering the collected materials, analyzing and interpreting what was said by each subject that makes up the group studied. After listening to and transcribing the interviews, the categories of understanding were organized based on the group's discourse. A lack of leisure time in aquatic environments was reported, given that we are surrounded by water in the capital of Alagoas and surrounding areas, the study showed as results that participation in the project was extremely important in terms of professional training, in addition to this experience having been a moment of extreme lasting learning for the children, as there is a perception of sustainability and water variables, given the little evidence of swimming or suitable aquatic environments in children's daily lives for playing with water and in water.
