The trilogy to play, development-learning and Pedagogy, the founder of Childhood Education and made a common place inside and outside this field, needs to be critically examined under the risk of jeopardizing childhood and its rights and of deepening marginalization of play and its subsidiary and/or instrumental role.Importing that this discussion is extended to multi-referenced contributions from the Sociology of Childhood and Educational Sciences, distinctions and interdependencies of key conceptual issues are approached between playing, learning playfully and teaching through play, and in its articulations with the notions of playfulness, children's cultures and playful-pedagogical practices, in order to interrogate the play-learn dichotomy. From here, based on documentary research, will be analyse 99 end of course reports, the Supervised Teaching Practice, dedicated to play in crèche and/or kindergarten, carried out in public and private higher education institutions in Portugal (2014-2019), aiming i) to characterize the place of play; ii) to identify and problematize the logics of play and the pedagogical meanings that the future educators of the Early Childhood Education privileged during their professional master's degrees for teaching with children up to 6 years old. The conclusions point to two distinct and unequal logics of the future educators to understand playing: privileging the relationship between educator and the child(ren) and play as a way of teaching and/or in favour of the child’s cognitive development, the dominant one; and privileging the relationships among children to know their play preferences to better inform the pedagogical action, as the subordinate.
