Formação continuada na educação básica: análise da percepção de professoras da creche sobre a influência das mídias nas crianças

Abstract

This research investigated a process of continuing teacher training on the use of media resources with children in Early Childhood Education. From this point, the problem was considered: how do teachers perceive and consider the influences of cartoons used in the classroom, in Early Childhood Education, on children's behavior? Its general objective was to analyze the teachers' perception of the media influence on children's education and to promote discussions regarding the cartoons used in the classroom. The research was based on the perspective of Cultural Studies to understand the object of study, as from this theoretical perspective it was possible to present possibilities for studies on the cultural aspects of society. Daily life at the early childhood education center contributes to children's cultural representations; In this way, the teacher must pay attention to the speeches in cartoons and films. In this sense, a continuing training course was held for early childhood education teachers in a municipality in the north of Paraná, anchored in the principles of cultural pedagogy, in order to understand the ways in which media representations, through cartoons, can exert influence on children's behavior. Ten teachers participated in the continuing education course, which took place in four meetings, via Google Meet, lasting approximately two hours each. The teachers taught in Kindergarten III of the municipal early childhood education centers, one from each early childhood education center in the municipality. Aiming to meet the requirement of the Professional Master's Degree, the Educational Product, we created a booklet with the course offered, as well as the pedagogical proposals constructed by the teachers at the end of the course, using the analyzed cartoons. In summary, it can be observed that the teachers noticed a change in the children's behavior after watching the cartoons broadcast in the Early ChildhoodEducation Centers and verified, after the discussions held in the course, the need to consider media influences when choosing the cartoons that will be broadcast.
