HAI, Alessandra Arce  and  SILVA, Janaina Cassiano. O impacto das concepções de desenvolvimento infantil nas práticas pedagógicas em salas de aula para crianças menores de três anos. Perspectiva [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.03, pp.1099-1123. ISSN 0102-5473.

This article analyzes the impact that the concept of child development has for pedagogical practices with children three years old and younger, from the perspective of historical-cultural psychology. It presents the results of a study that investigated if the educational actions promote care and education, an essential association for the promotion of psychological development of children three and younger. To facilitate the study, we divide the work in three parts, one that presents the methodology and characterization of the institutions, another that analyzes the pedagogical practices and one that reflects on the concept of development found in these practices from the perspective of historic-cultural psychology. The educational practices undertaken at the institutions studied merely await the development considered natural for children, not adopting practices that encourage the integral development of children to their maximum potential by using teaching to promote this potential.

Keywords : Early Childhood Education; Child Development; Socio-Historical Psychology.
