Sensibilizando gestores escolares sobre a importância do lúdico nas séries iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The present work is directed to educational administrators, parents, teachers and everyone responsible for the early school grades. Our goal is to examine the developmental characteristics of children as related to their motor skills, cognitive and social/emotional development and the implications for recreational learning. The relationship between playing and learning has always drawn the attention of thinkers ever since the earliest registries of mankind. Playing is a metaphoric activity that contributes to the child's integral development and to the building of knowledge. Games, as well as ludic activities, when well applied and guided, encourage development in individuals from the first years of elementary school on. For this reason, great value should be placed on this happy and delightful form of work from the earliest grades of elementary school, so that in due time the child develops to their full potential, making the following stages of development easier. We hope that this research will make educational administrators sensitive to the fact that ludic learning is important to the school, but even more important to life.
