A ABORDAGEM PIKLER E A ORGANIZAÇÃO DO ESPAÇO PARA BEBÊS NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

The article comes from the studies carried out on the Pikler approach to promote teacher training and improvement of the work developed in a university day care center, focusing on the organization of spaces for babies. The objective is to present piklerian contributions for the organization of the institutional space for infants (children up to 1 year and 6 months of age). As methodology, we adopted bibliographic research. The Pikler approach originated in Budapest with the Hungarian physician Emmi Pikler who conducted the education and care of orphaned children from 1946. In studying the Pikler approach we understand space as a support to support babies in their motor acquisitions and their insertion in the world. The ample space, with little but adequate furniture and materials thought and selected for the specifics of the age range, allows the baby to experience the space with his body and, in this way, can gradually perceive and insert himself in the world that surrounds him . The actions of space organization, in the light of the Pikler approach, place the baby at the center of the pedagogical process and suppress the evidence and protagonism of the adult, still so present in this stage of Basic Education. The baby, powerful, capable and active, needs a context that supports him and allows him to experience his childhood with freedom and care.
