FERREIRA, Manuela  e  TOMAS, Catarina. At the rhythm of COVID-19: between childhood policies and pedagogical practices in the pandemic. What perspectives about children’s rights?. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2023, vol.48, e70036.  Epub 17-Jun-2025. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644470036.

From Social Studies of Childhood and Sociology of Education, the official sanitary-educational guidelines and the pedagogical practices privileged by Portuguese educators are consideredto understand to what and whichchildren's rights were guaranteed and/or threatened during the arrhythmias generated by COVID-19 in Early Childhood Education (ECE).Supported by qualitative methodologies of collection and analysis of official measures/recommendations for ECE (March 2020 to June 2021) and interviews with educators from different institutions, contexts, and pathways (public and private kindergartens; urban and rural; time in the profession), we aim to identify and analyse: i) what rights were officially guaranteed to children and their education; ii) the (re)interpretations of those measures/recommendations, main educational concerns and facilities/difficulties in the pedagogical recontextualization assumed. In the diversity of (re)interpretations and pedagogical practices, and their (mis)alignment with policies, emphasis is placed on learning content; the interference of socio-structural and contextual factors in the fulfilment of children's rights and the limited knowledge of those rights by educators, considering the need and urgency of its wide dissemination in ECE.
