Brincando de Kung Fu na educação infantil : uma análise de apropriação de conceitos numa abordagem microgenética

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the appropriations of concepts arising from the project “Potentialities and possibilities the martial arts in Early Childhood Education: playing with Kung Fu”, during six intervention classes, which had nine social actors as sample. A cell phone recorder and a field diary were used, where the researcher wrote down the behaviors, interesting facts of the interventions and performed the transcriptions of the speeches in later moments. This field research used the microgenetic approach of sociocultural theory, to analyze the children's speeches. The appropriations of the spontaneous concepts were verified: “Goose”, “cricket” and “bird”, and of the scientific concepts: “monkey”, “brown”, “lion” and “tiger”, demonstrating the process of appropriation of objects and knowledge that were presented and revealed in the processes of perception, representation and concept. Thus, the process of construction of these concepts - whether spontaneous or scientific - presumes the existence of interaction with other subjects and with the world, allowing that through mediation and assimilation ofthe characteristics ofthe object or phenomenon, the individual can develop fully.
