A music and movement program that incorporated vocal, gestural and rhythmical movement activities was devised with the aim of promoting first-time mothers’ interactions with their infants from the age 2 to 6 months. For first-time mothers as primary caregivers, the early post-partum months of the transition to parenthood can be a stressful period, affecting communicative interactions with their infants and the early development of the dyadic relationship. Furthermore, if mothers are lacking a repertoire of activities that promote communicative interactions via the use of vocal, gestural and rhythmical movement activities the development of the mother-infant relationship may be inhibited.Considering factors that affect the early development of the mother in her role as primary caregiver and the developing relationship with her infant, the investigation of two studies are reported. Study 1 was aimed at investigating the effects music and movement and face-to-face social contact on the frequency of mothers’ interactions with their infants and maternal well-being. Face-to-face social contact was investigated as a factor (both independent of music and movement, and its interaction effect with music and movement) that could influence mothers’ communicative interactions with their infants and maternal well-being. Study 2 investigated behavioural outcomes within the mother-infant relationship in response to the communicative effects of music and movement as measured by change in the characteristics of mothers’ Infant-Directed Speech and dyadic reciprocity Results indicated that up-tempo play songs and rhymes which incorporated rhythmical movement were preferred by the mothers to engage with their infants. As an effect of the their use of the music and movement activities, mothers’ interactions with their infants increased together with their perceived mother-to-infant attachment, characteristics associated with their Infant-Directed Speech and the dyadic reciprocity. Without music and movement, mothers decreased their music and movement interactions with their infants together with their perceived mother-to infant attachment, characteristics associated with their Infant-Directed Speech and the dyadic reciprocity. It was concluded that mothers’ use of the music and movement program with their infants in the early post-partum months was a valuable stimulus that can enhance the mother-infant relationship. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The research discusses the development of teachers and children’s new ways of acting at school, based on early childhood education central concepts and actions, addressing, in a central way, the play and the social activities in which the children participate, and in this context, approppriate of their culture, take positions and become agents (STETSENKO; HO 2015). The Social Activities curriculum enables teachers and children to grasp historically produced knowledge, as well as new ways of acting that (re) signify life in school and in society. In view of this, two main axes are basic to the theoretical and theoretical-methodological discussion of this essay: playing in the curriculum of early childhood education and the proposal of curricular reorganization through social activities. The discussions about the concept of curriculum are based on Apple (1982), Sacristán and Pérez Gómez (1998), Silva (2011), Kuhlmann Jr (2003), Kramer (2014) Oliveira (2010, 2015), Barbosa and Horn (2008), Barbosa et al. (2016). The concept of play considers the references of Brougère (1998, 2003) and Kishimoto (1994, 1996) to the dialogue centered on the theories of Vigotski (1933/2007), Elkonin (1978/2009) and discussions of Newman and Holzman (2014), Stetsenko (2015, 2016), among others of vigotskiana base. The first axis focuses on the curriculum in relation to the conceptions and values present in the models of practices adopted at school about play in childhood. The second proposal is to overcome a traditional curriculum based in early childhood education presenting a new proposal based on social activities, supported by the assumptions of Socio-Historical-Cultural Theory (VIGOTSKI, 1930/2004, 1934/2007, LEONTIEV, 1972/2004, ENGESTRÖM, 2002, 2013, among others. This study - inserted in the area of Applied Linguistics, which understands language as implicated in social life (MOITA LOPES, 2006), specifically in the school life of adults and children - has the methodological choice of Critical Collaboration Research because it understands the research as an intentional process of understanding and transformation, organized by the contradiction and collaboration movements, which focus on the creation of proximal development zones (VIGOTSKI, 1930/2007). The research data, produced at training meetings, planning, classes and performances (jokes), photographs and videos were analyzed based on the argumentative perspective of language (LIBERALI, 2013) articulated to multimodality (KRESS, 2010). In an attempt to explain and understand the organization and movement of the activity of play, both before and during the project by social activities, the analyzes revealed that the implementation of the project at the Parnaíba-PI early childhood institution provided new ways of acting, conceiving and living the play by adults and children. These aspects guided the transformation of educational practices, made possible by the new understandings about the right to play in school, not as a leisure, but as an important element for purposes of teaching-learningdevelopment with primordial relevance to the respect of childhood. The transformations subsidized, afterwards, the strengthening of the curricular proposal of the institution, context of the research / Esta tese, de modo geral, investiga o brincar na reorganização do currículo de uma escola de Educação Infantil, localizada na cidade de Parnaíba-PI, antes e durante o desenvolvimento de um projeto organizado com base em Atividades Sociais (LIBERALI, 2009, 2012, 2015). A pesquisa discute o desenvolvimento de novos modos de agir de professoras e crianças, na escola, a partir de conceitos e ações centrais para a Educação Infantil, abordando, de modo central, o brincar e as atividades sociais em que as crianças participam e, nesse contexto, apropriam-se da cultura, assumem posições e tornam-se agentes (STETSENKO; HO 2015). O currículo por Atividades Sociais (AS) possibilita que professores e crianças apreendam conhecimentos historicamente produzidos, bem como, novos modos de agir que (re)significam a vida na escola e na sociedade. À vista disso, dois grandes eixos são basilares à discussão teórica e teórico-metodológica desta tese: o brincar no currículo da Educação Infantil e a proposta de reorganização curricular por meio de Atividades Sociais. As discussões quanto ao conceito de currículo são feitas com base em Apple (1982), Sacristán e Pérez Gómez (1998), Silva (2011), Kuhlmann Jr (2003), Kramer (2014) Oliveira (2010, 2015), Barbosa e Horn (2008), Barbosa et all (2016). O conceito de brincar considera as referências de Brougère (1998, 2003) e Kishimoto (1994, 1996) para o diálogo centrado nas teorias de Vigotski (1933/2007), Elkonin (1978/2009) e discussões de Newman e Holzman (2014), Stetsenko (2015, 2016), entre outros de base vigotskiana. O primeiro eixo enfoca o currículo em relação às concepções e valores presentes nos modelos de práticas adotadas, na escola, acerca do brincar na infância. O segundo propõe a superação de uma base tradicional de currículo, na Educação Infantil, ao apresentar uma nova proposta organizada com base em Atividades Sociais, apoiada nos pressupostos da Teoria da Atividade Sócio-Histórico-Cultural (VIGOTSKI, 1930/2004; 1934/2007, LEONTIEV, 1972/2004; ENGESTRÖM, 2002, 2013, entre outros). Este estudo - inserido na área da Linguística Aplicada, que entende a linguagem como implicada na vida social (MOITA LOPES, 2006), especificamente, na vida escolar de adultos e crianças, - tem como escolha metodológica a Pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração (PCCol) (MAGALHÃES, 2012; 2007, 2014), por entender a investigação como um processo intencional de compreensão e transformação, organizada pelos movimentos de contradição e colaboração, que incidem na criação de Zonas de Desenvolvimento Proximal (VIGOTSKI, 1930/2007). Os dados da investigação, produzidos a partir de encontros de formação, planejamentos, aulas e performances (brincadeiras), fotografias e vídeos foram analisados com base na perspectiva argumentativa da linguagem (LIBERALI, 2013) articulada à multimodalidade (KRESS, 2010). Ao buscar explicitar e compreender a organização e o movimento da atividade do brincar, antes e durante o projeto por AS, as análises revelaram que a implementação do projeto, na instituição de Educação Infantil de Parnaíba-PI, propiciou novos modos de agir, conceber e viver o brincar de adultos e crianças. Tais aspectos foram orientadores de práticas educacionais transformadas, viabilizadas pelas novas compreensões sobre o direito de brincar na escola, não exclusivamente como um lazer, mas de relevância primordial à infância e ao processo de ensino-aprendizagemdesenvolvimento humano. As transformações subsidiaram, posteriormente, o fortalecimento prático-teórico da proposta curricular da instituição, contexto da pesquisa

This research aims to critically understand playing based on Social Activities in the re-elaboration and implementation of Didactic Units for English classes, as well as its role in the reorganization of teaching-learning and in the strengthening of bonds between school and life. Specifically, it focus on understanding if, how and why play brought opportunities of learning and development to the participants, not only in the appropriation of the English language, but also in new ways of being and acting in the world. This investigation is inserted in the field of Critical Applied Linguistic (MOITA LOPES, 2006, PENNYCOOK, 2006, 2014, FABRICIO, 2006), grounded on the Socio-Historical-Cultural Activity Theory - TASCH (VYGOTSKY, 1934, LEONTIEV, 1977, ENGESTRÖM, 1999; LIBERALI, 2009), as well as on the play-based curriculum (VAN OERS, 2013). Methodologically, it is anchored in the Collaborative Critical Research (PCCol) - (MAGALHÃES, 2011), characterized as interventionist, since it focus on understanding and transforming participants' actions in school contexts. This study was conducted with children between ten and eleven years old at a language school in the interior of São Paulo. Data collection happened through the application of a questionnaire which aimed at discovering the social activities the children were involved in. The corpus is composed by excerpts of audio and video recordings produced during the period of a semester. Data were analyzed and interpreted through enunciative-discursive-linguistic categories (LIBERALI, 2013). The results revealed the importance of creating possibilities for rethinking, re-elaborating and reorganizing the teaching-learning of English through playing in Social Activities in order to constitute, in the classroom, critical-collaborative participants in the appropriation of new repertoires in situations of interaction in English. This dissertation allowed the construction of an approach to teaching English which establishes a relation between school and real life. In other words, the construction of non-encapsulated teaching-learning which relates school contents to their use beyond school walls / A área de ensino de inglês tem sido marcada por propostas metodológicas orientadas para a padronização e conveniência, com receitas de como abordar o ensino-aprendizagem por meio de métodos e materiais prescritivos, não proporcionando vivências que prepararem o aluno para atuação crítica e consciente no mundo. Nesse cenário, esta pesquisa objetivou compreender criticamente o brincar em Atividades Sociais na reelaboração e implementação de Unidades Didáticas para aulas de língua inglesa, bem como seu papel na reorganização do ensino-aprendizagem e no estabelecimento das relações entre a escola e a vida. O foco está em discutir se, como e por que o brincar, nas experiências vividas em sala de aula de inglês, trouxe oportunidades de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento aos participantes, não apenas quanto à apropriação da língua inglesa, mas quanto aos novos modos de ser e agir. Este trabalho está inserido no campo da Linguística Aplicada Crítica (MOITA LOPES, 2006; PENNYCOOK, 2006, 2014; FABRICIO, 2006) e apoiado na Teoria da Atividade Sócio-Histórico-Cultural – TASCH (VYGOTSKY, 1934; LEONTIEV, 1977; ENGESTRÖM, 1999; LIBERALI, 2009), assim como nos estudos sobre o currículo baseado no brincar (VAN OERS, 2013). Situa-se no quadro teórico-metodológico da Pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração - PCCol (MAGALHÃES 2009, 2011, 2012), caracterizando-se como intervencionista, visto o foco encontrar-se na compreensão e na transformação de modos de agir dos participantes nos contextos escolares. Este estudo foi desenvolvido com crianças entre dez e onze anos de idade em uma escola de idiomas no interior de São Paulo. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio da aplicação de um questionário e uma conversa informal com as crianças, visando o levantamento das Atividades Sociais diariamente vivenciadas. O corpus é formado por excertos de áudio e vídeo gravações produzidos em um semestre. Os dados foram descritos, analisados e interpretados com base em categorias enunciativo-discursivo-linguísticas da Argumentação (LIBERALI, 2013). Os resultados revelaram a importância da criação de possibilidades de repensar, reelaborar e reorganizar o ensino-aprendizagem da Língua Inglesa pelo Brincar em Atividades Sociais, a fim de formar, em sala de aula, participantes crítico-colaborativos na apropriação de novos repertórios em situações de interação de uso do inglês. Esta dissertação possibilitou a construção da relação escola e vida real na abordagem de ensino desse idioma. Em outras palavras, a construção de um ensino-aprendizagem não encapsulado dos saberes escolarizados, mas que relaciona esses conteúdos ao uso fora dos muros da escola
