As brincadeiras e jogos populares como elementos educativos e interdisciplinares no processo de ensino e aprendizagem

Abstract

The main objective of this work was to develop an interdisciplinary methodological strategy, using popular games and play activities from Apodi/RN, with a 5th-grade class in the municipal elementary school system. Initially, there was a theoretical discussion about child development and the role of games and play in this process, based on the thoughts of Froebel, Heiland (2010), Piaget (1973, 1975), and Vygotsky (1989). Following this, interdisciplinarity was explored, drawing on authors such as Kishimoto (2017), the BNCC (2018), Morin (2003), Fazenda (2008, 2011, 1994), among others. The research adopted a qualitative, actionresearch approach. The construction and application of an interdisciplinary teaching sequence involving popular games and play was proposed, using data collected through student memories, recalled in group discussions, and through open-ended questionnaires administered to parents and grandparents by the students themselves, regarding the games and play they experienced during their childhood. This proposal fosters reflection on how popular games and play can be worked on in an interdisciplinary approach in the early years of elementary school and how they can contribute to teaching and learning.
