SENNA, Maria Teresa Telles Ribeiro; DORNELES, Beatriz Vargas  y  YUNES, Maria Angela Mattar. Conceitos numéricos na educação infantil: uma pesquisa etnográfica. Educ. Real. [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.01, pp.227-248. ISSN 0100-3143.

This paper describes a research that analyzed the early construction of number concepts in two to five year old children of Early Education. The qualitative ethnographic research was conducted in two schools: at the Núcleo de Desenvolvimento Infantil, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina in Brazil and at the Scuola XXV Aprile, in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The aim was to describe the way that the spontaneous situations of number concepts were improved by teachers of these schools. In both schools the children demonstrated spontaneous opportunities of numerical constructions. Therefore, those situations were not used by teachers to improve the children’s numerical knowledge.

Palabras clave : Numerical Concepts; Early Education; Ethnographic Research.
