THE SENSE OF PLAY IN CHILDREN EDUCATION AND FUNDAMENTAL EDUCATION: AN ANALYSIS ABOUT THE NATIONAL COMMON CURRICULUM BASIS

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to identify the meaning of the Game, which is based on the National Common Curriculum Basis (BNCC), on Early Childhood Education and on the different curricular components of Fundamental Education - initial years and final years. For this, a qualitative documentary analysis was carried out, through which it was verified that in Childhood Education, the Game is considered as a structuring axis for the development of children's learning and skills, and it should be worked through teaching stage. In Fundamental Education, depending on the curricular component, it presents itself as content with an end in itself, as in Physical Education and Art; as a means (methodology) to teach the specific contents of each subject, being present in the skills to be developed by them (Portuguese Language, English Language, Geography, History and Religious Education); or is still absent, as well as in Mathematics and Science. Thus, the culture of the Game, as a social construction, needs to be experienced in a certain time and space, taking into account its importance in the development of the individual during childhood and adolescence, anchored by educational documents such as BNCC, in which determines, guides and guides the pedagogical practices of Basic Education.
