Temporalidades no/do cotidiano da educação infantil

Abstract

This study, entitled “Temporalities in the Everyday Life of Child Education”, developed by the Federal University of Juiz de Fora Post-Graduation Program, focused on the central debate over temporalities in/about the everyday life at a school setting. Temporality refers to the various ways to deal with, relate to, and organize time, i.e., experience in and with time. The objective of this investigation was to problematize/discuss about temporality hints in/about the everyday life at a school setting with Child Education teachers at a fulltime education school in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. I tried to answer the question “What do teachers say about temporality hints in/about the everyday life at school setting?” Authors on which I based this study are part of the theoretical-political-epistemologicalmethodological research perspective in/about/with everyday life, from which I could draw two movements. The first was the immersion into the everyday life of a Child Education second year class by investigating temporalities in/about the everyday life at a school setting, in the second semester 2010. Hints of temporality in this movement were annotated on a notebook in narrative style. For the second movement under investigation, which took place in the first semester 2011, I arranged five meetings called conversation circles with Child Education teachers, during which circulating ideas, notions, and knowledge were expressed. During the preparation for this research the following temporalities emerged: full-time education school temporalities, curriculum-based temporalities, Child Education children-related temporalities. By experiencing the investigation, I could perceive that increased school time alone for children and teachers does not resolve the challenges and conflicts faced by school. A number of factors must be linked to school time, such as collective work, a contextual education, a curriculum based on everyday life and dealing with multiple child temporalities.
