A IMPORTÂNCIA DO LÚDICO NO PROCESSO DE ENSINO E APRENDIZAGEM NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: UMA ABORDAGEM PSICOPEDAGÓGICA

Play isn't just fun; it's a powerful learning tool for children. When a child plays, they are, in fact, in a continuous learning situation. Game rules and the freedom of imagination allow children to experiment with behaviors and ideas that go beyond their daily lives. By playing, a child acts with freedom and creativity, and this experience is crucial for their development. Historically, psychopedagogy has worked to help students with learning difficulties, which usually manifest as low academic performance. To understand what causes these difficulties, it's fundamental for schools to have a pedagogical project that values the individual characteristics and needs of each student. This means schools need to create an environment and offer resources that support each child's learning process. Our goal here is to show how play is fundamental in teaching and learning during early childhood education. We want to identify the obstacles children face in learning and then propose interventions that transform learning into an engaging activity. When learning is enjoyable, children become more involved and explore knowledge more deeply.
