A valorização das produções culturais das crianças nas aulas de educação física: análises de narrativas docentes

It analyzes how Physical Education teachers have given visibility to children's cultural productions in Early Childhood Education and how these productions potentiate their pedagogical mediations in this context. Uses autobiographic narrative as method. The data were produced through the narratives of two female and two male Physical Education teachers who work in Municipal Children's Education Centers (CMEI) in Vitoria/ES-Brazil. The teacher’s narratives were strengthened by "interaction episodes", which illustrate prototypical situations in which children's cultural productions were recognized and valued in pedagogical mediations. The results indicate several strategies used by teachers to listen to and value children's productions, among which the following stand out: dialogical relationships with children; the re-elaboration of the pedagogical intentionality of the teacher, considering the demands of the children; the arrangement of materials; and the valorization of the interpretive reproduction that the children print to the cultural artifacts that are offered to them.
