Teaching in Early Childhood Education

This is a qualitative documentary study. It aims to understand what knowledge is produced and disseminated about teaching in Early Childhood Education. The research question is: how do the relationships between childhood, early childhood education and teaching methodology occur in the research already published by ANPEd? What knowledge about teaching does this research provide? The aim is to reflect on the roles and responsibilities of teachers who work with young children. To this end, we understand the Early Childhood Education institution as a social field in which adults and children mutually experience the world, as a space in which everyone needs to recognise that they teach and learn together. The problem that led me to carry out this work lies in the potentialisation of the gap between children's culture and adult culture. It is undeniable that children and adults are in different places in the world, and it is also undeniable that they think, feel, live and look at this world in different ways. And because Early Childhood Education is a social field in which adults and children mutually experience the world, it is a space in which all these cultural conflicts clash.
