Previous issue date: 2006-10-30 / This research set out to study the meaning and significance of childhood, family and crèche for educators and family members of children attending a philanthropic institute in the southern region of Goiânia. In order to carry out this investigation, the socio-historical-dialectical method was used to study the phenomena of the concrete reality, in ongoing relationships with other phenomena, which are formed in the contradictions of antagonistic forces of movement and transformation. The unfolding of the social reality from a perspective of wholeness requires work of appropriation, organization and exposition of the facts, in which the target is the thought-out concrete reality. This theoretical appropriation involves the exercise of critical interpretation and evaluation of the facts, as a fundamental prerequisite for dialectic thinking. As a result of this epistemological stance, a qualitative approach was proposed for the investigative process and for the treatment of information. To arrive at these, semi-structured interviews were used, in which the subjects co-participants of the research process were able to express their opinions freely about the proposed themes, in order to allow for a broader understanding of the object under investigation. Working from these theoretical methodological presuppositions, an effort was made to understand the different meanings which family members and educators build around the role of the family and crèche, in caring and educating in the early years of childhood. In the analysis of the speech of the subjects, an understanding was sought of the meanings attributed to childhood: those connected to an idealized and naturalized conception of the child or those which permit an understanding of them as social subjects, involved in the concrete reality of social relationships. As well as that, it was hoped to grasp the conception of education, through analyzing the meaning attributed to the family and crèche in the social task of caring for and educating children from birth to the age of three. At different moments throughout this analytical process, it was possible to detail the meaning which the subjects attributed to the proposed themes and relate the similarities and differences between the constructed meanings, in their individual and social journeys. Meaning is understood as the most stable dimension of the word, but only one of the meaning zones which it acquires in the context of a discourse. Meaning is the sum of all the psychological factors which a word provokes in the conscience. It is the most singular aspect of the subject. Even though this distinction is adopted, the concepts of significance and meaning are understood as inseparable in the awareness of the subject, in his/her concrete involvement in life. These two dimensions in the process of meaning express the singularity and universality of social life in which the subject is, at the same time, product and producer. Thus, in this study, meaning and significance were analyzed at the same time, in the search for an understanding of the dialectic between the two. However, preference was given to the analysis of significance in order to make a comparison possible between two groups of interlocutors: family members and educators. The organizing plank of this investigation was the family, understood both as the milieu and as the social group, made up of people who assume different roles, and live out complex affective exchanges. They construct and reconstruct their understanding of the world and of themselves, mutually influencing each other to the extent that they are organized to satisfy individual and group necessities. Their involvement in the educational milieu of the crèche by means of the child provokes a construction of meanings and significance permeated by conflict and tensions in the social group. / A presente pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo os sentidos e significados de infância, família e creche atribuídos por educadoras e familiares de crianças atendidas por uma creche filantrópica da região sul de Goiânia. Para empreender esta tarefa investigativa, optou-se pelo método sócio-histórico-dialético, que estuda os fenômenos da realidade concreta em permanente articulação com outros fenômenos, constituídos nas relações de contradições entre forças antagônicas, de movimento e transformação. Foi necessário, para tanto, retomarmos a leitura dos clássicos que contribuíram para a construção da concepção dialética de mundo e de homem que orientam essa opção metodológica: Marx (1985 e 1980), Marx e Engels (2005), Gramsci (1987), Kosik (1986), Vasquez (1986), Wallon (1981, 1975), bem como seus interpretes mais recentes: Barbosa (1997), Barbosa, Magalhães e Alves(2003), Rey (2003 e 1997), Andery (2000), Ianni (1985), Carone (1984), Frigotto (1989), Gamboa (1989), dentre outros. Como decorrência desta postura epistemológica, propôs-se uma abordagem qualitativa, no processo investigativo e no tratamento das informações. Na obtenção dessas, optou-se pela entrevista semi-aberta, em que os sujeitos - co-participantes - do processo de pesquisa puderam manifestar livremente suas opiniões sobre os temas propostos, a fim de possibilitar uma compreensão mais ampla do objeto investigado. Na análise das falas dos sujeitos, buscou-se compreender que significados são atribuídos à infância: aqueles ligados a uma concepção idealizada e naturalizada de criança ou aqueles que permitem compreendê-la como sujeito social, inserido na realidade concreta das relações sociais. Além disso, pretendeu-se captar a concepção de educação, analisando o significado atribuído à família e à creche na tarefa social de cuidar e educar as crianças na idade de zero a três anos. Neste processo de análise, em vários momentos, foi possível explicitar os sentidos que os sujeitos atribuíam aos temas propostos e relacionar as semelhanças e diferenças entre os significados construídos, em suas trajetórias individuais e sociais. Para tanto, partiu-se do referencial teórico de Vygotsky (2001, 1989, 1987) e Bakhtin (1999). O eixo articulador desta investigação foi a família, compreendida como meio e como grupo social, constituído por sujeitos, que assumem determinados papéis, vivenciam complexas trocas afetivas, constroem e reconstroem sua compreensão de mundo e de si mesmas, influenciando-se mutuamente, na medida em que se articulam para a satisfação das necessidades individuais e do grupo. Sua inserção, por meio da criança, no ambiente educativo da creche provoca no grupo social a construção de sentidos e significados permeados por conflitos e tensões.
