A educação em ciências nos documentos norteadores da educação infantil, Manaus, Brasil

Abstract

Science education has been presenting a different perspective for science learning in the school context, overcoming the logic of content transmission and moving towards a non-fragmented view of knowledge in the face of critical citizen education. Research in early childhood education shows elements of this perspective when its curriculum expresses practices of education and care for the comprehensive education of young children through experiences. The objective of this work is to highlight elements of science education in two documents that guide pedagogical practices: National Curriculum Guidelines for Early Childhood Education and Pedagogical-Curricular Proposal for Early Childhood Education in Manaus. The methodological approach involves a qualitative approach and was based on documentary analysis. In general, we show that science education is present in the curriculum of early childhood education, but its effectiveness will materialize in the context of early childhood education institutions.
