Assim, procurou caracterizar o fenÃmeno investigado numa turma de Infantil IV; descrever as impressÃes das crianÃas acerca do papel da professora; investigar o papel que as crianÃas atribuem a si mesmas na Roda de Conversa; conhecer, atravÃs de suas famÃlias, os contextos de vida das crianÃas. O estudo tem como respaldo teÃrico a abordagem sociointeracionista de Vygotsky (1998, 2005, 2009) e Wallon (2007, 2008) sobre a importÃncia da construÃÃo do pensamento e da linguagem no desenvolvimento da crianÃa, assim como a concepÃÃo dialÃgica e democrÃtica de educaÃÃo de Freire (1967, 1987, 1996) e, ainda, os estudos sobre as culturas da infÃncia representados por Corsaro (2011), Sarmento (2004, 2005, 2007) e Barbosa (2014), que contribuem para a compreensÃo da(s) infÃncia(s) como categoria social e das crianÃas como produtoras de cultura. A abordagem metodolÃgica à de natureza qualitativa e tem inspiraÃÃo nos estudos de tipo etnogrÃficos adaptados à educaÃÃo. Participaram desse estudo crianÃas do agrupamento Infantil IV, com idade de quatro e cinco anos, principais sujeitos da pesquisa. Como instrumentos para a construÃÃo de dados foram utilizados: observaÃÃo participante, entrevista individual com desenhos e entrevista coletiva com histÃrias a serem completadas pelas crianÃas, observaÃÃo de uma situaÃÃo de faz de conta na qual as crianÃas brincaram de Roda de Conversa e entrevistas semiestruturadas com colaboradores da pesquisa: a professora e as famÃlias das crianÃas. Os registros foram realizados atravÃs de diÃrio de campo, fotografia, gravador de Ãudio e filmagens. A anÃlise dos dados revelou que a Roda de Conversa realizada no contexto investigado à compreendida como um momento para combinados de atividades didÃticas, projetos, roda de mÃsica. Na sua realizaÃÃo, a professora apresenta temas geradores de conversas, pelos quais, nem sempre, as crianÃas se interessam. As crianÃas, como sujeitos dialÃgicos e competentes, resistem a essa normalizaÃÃo e trazem para a Roda de Conversa suas questÃes e assuntos de interesse, rompendo com a lÃgica escolarizante. / This research has as its main goal to analyze the meanings attributed by preschool children to circle time in a public center for Early Childhood Education in Fortaleza. Thus, this paper sought to characterize the phenomenon investigated in a preschool class; to describe the childrenâs impressions of the teacherâs role; to investigate the role that the children play in the circle time; know through their families the contexts of childrenâs lives. This study has a theoretical support the social-interactionist approach of Vygotsky (1998, 2005, 2009) and Wallon (2007, 2008) on the importance of the construction of thought and language in child development, as well as Freireâs (1967, 1987, 1996) dialogical and democratic conception of education and also the studies on childhoodâs cultures represented by Corsaro (2011), Sarmento (2004, 2005, 2007) and Barbosa (2014), who contribute to the understanding of childhoods as a social category and of children as producers of culture. The methodological approach is qualitative and is inspired by ethnographic studies adapted to education. Children from preschool, four and five years old students are the main subjects and participated in the study. As instruments for the construction of data were used: participant observation, individual interview with drawings and collective interview with stories to be completed by the children, observation of a make-believe situation in which the children represented a circle time and semi-structured interviews with the research collaborators: the teacher and the childrenâs families. Records were made through field diary, photography, audio recorder and filming. Data analysis revealed that the circle time performed in the investigated context is understood as a time for combined didactic activities, projects and music. In its realization the teacher presents themes to be presented, generators of conversations for which, not always, children are interested. The children as competent dialogical subjects resist this normalization and bring their questions and subjects of interest to the circle time, breaking with the schooling logic.

The following diploma thesis addresses linguistic speech in the children's program at the Radio Junior Club. The first section describes verbal expressions, defines basic theoretical concepts related to the stratification of Czech language, defines child listeners with a focus on the pre-school development period as well as the primary and middle school period and also explains the concept of child-oriented speech. The structure of Czech Radio and individual programs at Radio Junior with emphasis on the Radio Junior Club are described at the end of the theoretical section. The practical section contains two analyses describing the moderator's language and how it is responded to positively according to sound level, lexicology, morphology and syntax. The recordings were taken from the Czech Radio archive and the ORAL2013 transcriptional system, which was adapted for analysis purposes, was used to transcribe the spoken language. The results of the analyses were compared and generalized along with findings in expert literature.

The aim was to address the following question: What meanings do the children assign to written language in the first year of Elementary School? The issue raised here is twofolded: on the one hand, there is the need to address the concepts of language regarding the writing appropriation process in the context of the expansion of compulsory schooling; on the other hand, there is the need to conceive children as social subjects, belonging to social groups, in real conditions of existence. The study is a qualitative research organized into two steps: a) literature review and documentary research, and b) field research. The instrument of data collection consisted of semi-structured interviews and collection of children s drawings, involving 67 children between 5 and 6 years old attending regularly four classes in public schools in Foz do Iguaçu (Paraná, Brazil). The analysis of the research subjects utterances was based on the theoretical framework of Mikhail Bakhtin s Theory of Enunciation, particularly the concepts of verbal interaction, dialogism, polyphony and otherness. In order to understand the ways of thinking that are peculiar to children, the study was based on works by Lev Semenovitch Vigotski and Alexis Leontiev. The results showed that there are different meanings assigned to written language by children in the first year of Elementary School. These different meanings are due to the way the teachers have designed and conducted the teaching of written language, as well as the way they consider the specificities of children in their childhoods. The attempt to understand the meanings assigned to written language in the first year of Elementary School, viewing the child as an active subject in the research process allowed to realize the necessity of education professionals promoting, by means of their teaching practices, discursive interlocutions during the education of written language. / Esta dissertação é o resultado de pesquisa realizada entre 2012 e 2014 alocada no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná. Abordou a seguinte questão: Que sentidos as crianças atribuem à linguagem escrita no primeiro ano do Ensino Fundamental? A problemática levantada teve um duplo desdobramento: por um lado, a necessidade de tratar das concepções de linguagem frente ao processo de apropriação da escrita no contexto da ampliação da escolaridade obrigatória, por outro, compreender as crianças enquanto sujeitos sociais, pertencentes a grupos sociais, em condições reais de existência. A investigação correspondeu a uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa organizada em duas etapas: a) pesquisa bibliográfica e documental e b) pesquisa de campo. Utilizou como instrumentos para geração de dados a realização de entrevistas semiestruturada e a coleta de desenhos infantis, com 67 crianças entre 5 e 6 anos, matriculadas regularmente em quatro turmas de escolas públicas do município de Foz do Iguaçu-PR. A análise das enunciações dos sujeitos da pesquisa foi realizada com base no referencial teórico da Teoria da Enunciação de Mikhail Bakhtin, principalmente a partir das categorias de interação verbal, dialogismo, polifonia e alteridade. Com o intuito de compreender os modos de pensar próprios das crianças, recorreu-se aos estudos de Lev Semenovitch Vigotski e Alexis Nikoláievtch Leontiev. Os resultados da investigação apontaram que há diferentes sentidos atribuídos à linguagem escrita pelas crianças do primeiro ano do Ensino Fundamental. Estes diferentes sentidos são decorrentes da maneira como as professoras têm concebido e conduzido o ensino da linguagem escrita, bem como consideram as especificidades das crianças e suas infâncias. Buscar compreender os sentidos atribuídos à linguagem escrita no primeiro ano do Ensino Fundamental, tendo a criança como sujeito ativo no processo de pesquisa, permitiu evidenciar a necessidade posta aos profissionais da educação de promover, por meio de suas práticas pedagógicas, interlocuções discursivas durante o ensino da linguagem escrita.
