Abstract

The purpose of this research is to understand the contributions of storytelling to the psychosocial development of the child and, more specifically, to present the child's psychosocial development process by means of storytelling, considering the pertinent theoretical framework; describe appropriate methodological resources and strategies for storytelling, highlighting the experiences of the Supervised Internship; and discuss the contributions of storytelling to the child's psychosocial development in Early Childhood Education. The methodology used in the research was bibliographical and phenomenological, also using a qualitative approach. The data collection instruments were the participant observation, records of the field book used in the activities of the pedagogical action plan and Supervised Stage I. In addition, the non-directive interview was used with the pre-school teacher I in Early Childhood Education. The research subjects were the regent teacher and the children of her class, with observations and practices with storytelling in the years 2016 and 2017. The research was conducted in the Center-South Zone of the city of Manaus-Amazonas, in a CMEI (Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education). As a result of the interpretations, it was identified how much the resourses and intentions used in the counting can contribute to the social interaction of the children, as well as to their emotional and cognitive development. It was evidenced the need for storytelling with the use of resources that contribute to the psychosocial development of the child, taking into account their age group and specificities, as well as the commitment of the teacher in view of this practice.
