Formação docente, espaços e ambientes: um olhar sobre a experiência de estágio supervisionado em educação infantil

Abstract

The paper, titled "Teacher Training, Spaces, and Environments: A Look at Supervised Internship," analyzes a final internship report from an Early Childhood Education program, highlighting the importance of physical space and educational environments in fostering imagination and creativity. It draws on the theoretical contributions of Vygotsky (2009), Rinaldi, and the debates on spaces and environments in Early Childhood Education policies. Space is understood as the physical place where daily interactions occur, encompassing structural and organizational elements, and the environment as an intentional construction that fosters pedagogical, affective, and interactive experiences. The document analysis of the report, which presents the "Cooking in the Solarium" project, proposes reflections on intentionality in the planning of educational environments, recognizing them as living components of the learning process. It is observed that the redefinition of the solarium as a symbolic space strengthened children's empowerment, fostered emotional bonds, and stimulated creative processes. The conclusion is that environments designed with sensitivity and intentionality become spaces that welcome and provoke discovery, contributing significantly to the daily lives and development of children in Early Childhood Education and highlighting the need for this competency to be established during students' initial education through Supervised Internships.
