SANTOS, Sandro Vinicius Sales dos. SOCIALIZATION AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION - AN ESSAY. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2020, n.52, e10621. Epub Jan 29, 2024. ISSN 1983-9278. https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n52.10621.
This: essay analyzes the scope of classical sociological theories that discussed the concept of socialization. Durkheim’s functionalist perspective and Berguer and Luckman’s Sociology of knowledge are revisited from the emergence, in the Brazilian context, of Early Childhood Education institutions. Such a task is performed in the light of theories that understand socialization as a process that is more interactive than reproductive. The argument defended is that, today, the classic notions of socialization are insufficient due to the new legal configurations of Brazilian Early Childhood Education. Such legislation recognizes nurseries and preschools as children’s rights, which are now conceived as active social actors in their own socialization.
Keywords : Socialization; Early Childhood Education; Classical Sociology..
