Relato de experiência: os contos de fadas na Educação Infantil

Abstract

This Final Paper, presented to the course of Pedagogy, approaches the thematic of fairy tales in the stories of Cinderella, Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood and aims to reflect about the gender relations present in such tales, seeking approximations about exploring possibilities in Preschool Education. Concerning the specific objectives, the paper prioritizes characterizing the representations of gender present in these narratives and exposing a practice carried out during the Supervised Internship III in the Municipal Elementary School Sérgio Lopes. Therefore, the study is based on a qualitative approach by making use of bibliographic research techniques allied to some notes referring to the experience lived within the Preschool I group. The theoretical framework is arranged based on authors such as Bruno Bettelheim (2020), Diana and Mário Corso (2011), and Guacira Lopes Louro (1997). From these theorists, it is possible to observe the literary wealth present in fairy tales, which have the potential to transcend the limits of children’s imagination, bringing, cognitively, certain learnings before the conflicts children come across. However, it is important to highlight that such literature presents models of being, referring to gender, which need to be resignified.
