Abstract

This Master degree dissertation has as research proposal to analyze the main ideas produced by official documents of three schools of childhood education, belonging to the city of Santa Maria / RS, concerning the issue of childhood. Constituted over time as a crystallized fact, naturalized by existing public policies, this study proposes to discuss other perspectives of childhood articulated to the historical, social and cultural movements. Parting from the analysis of the Pedagogical Political Projects of the Childhood Education Schools to produce data, it was pointed out that most of the statements that set the pedagogical political projects of the institutions analyzed were sustained by discursive strand in which childhood was constituted as a phase, period or stage of the human development. An investment in children as material of the political dream was observed, introducing them earlier and earlier to school to become promising citizens in / for society, interlacing the figures of student and child. In this way, it was understood that the ideas about childhood, especially in the field of school education, seek to establish a strengthening of a political, economical and social ideal regarding children.
