Abstract

BALCA, Angela Maria Franco Martins Coelho de Paiva. The presence of portuguese language and literature in the curriculum of pre-school education in Portugal. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.49, pp.9-23. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v23i49.1139.

In 2016, in Portugal, a new curricular document for pre-school education was launched by the Ministry of Education, called Orientações Curriculares para a Educação Pré-Escolar. This document replaced another one with date of 1997. The document Orientações Curriculares para a Educação Pré-Escolar has a guiding character, being a fundamental tool in the practice of the childhood educators in Portugal. Thus, in this article we intend to analyse this curricular document, considering only the area dedicated to expression and communication, namely the oral language domain and approach to writing. Through a critical and reflexive reading of this document, it is our goal to understand how the area of the portuguese language and literature is seen in the official curriculum for pre-school education. As main conclusions, we can affirm that the curriculum for pre-school education, in the area of portuguese language and literature, presents a transverse character, facing the child as a constructor of their learning.

Keywords : Pre-School Education; Portuguese Language; Curricular Orientations.
