Abstract

DURLI, Zenilde. Official education policies for early childhood in Brazil and Portugal. R. Educ. Públ. [online]. 2020, vol.29, e8589.  Epub Dec 01, 2020. ISSN 2238-2097.  https://doi.org/10.29286/rep.v29ijan/dez.8589.

In this article, which presents some of the results of a post-doctoral study, I analyze Brazilian policies for Early Childhood Education and Portuguese Pre-school Education. To do so, I briefly present the general characteristics of regulations guiding mandatory education in the two countries, and then, based on document research, I compare the national curriculum proposals that guide early childhood education policies. In the conclusions, I point to some of the possible consequences of the curriculum design proposed on the context of practice and on the modes of socialization of children.

Keywords : Curricular Policies; Official Knowledge Policies; Early Childhood Education.
