Uma análise reflexiva acerca do uso dos contos de fadas na educação infantil

Abstract

The questions about pedagogical contributions that fairy tales can provide in the process of the child´s development to serve as resource for teacher of childhood education was the starting point to the development of this research.After a bibliographical review, contemplating authors who researched in depth the elements of fairy tales, it was considered the hypothesis that the teachers of Early Childhood Education were aware of the pedagogical functions of the fairy tales, although they did not make use of it in a systematized way, planned, articulated, as proposed by theoretical references. The development of the research occurred through the analysis of data collected in the application of questionnaires to teachers of the municipal network of São Sebastião -SP,in the light of authors such as Lanz (2000), Bethelleim (2007), B. Coelho (1987), N. Coelho (1990), Makarenko (1981), it was possible to create a dialogue with field research, it was possible to understand the perception of the educators about the role of fairy and how it occurs in practice. This is a fantastic journey to the world of fairies, in which the real and imaginary become very close.
