O karatê como possibilidade pedagógica em uma instituição de educação infantil no Município de Tocantinópolis- TO

Abstract

The present work aims to problematize a pedagogical experience with karate in the context of Early Childhood Education in a preschool in the municipality of Tocantinópolis - TO. To this end, a qualitative, interventional research was carried out, with the theoretical contribution based on studies of Education and Physical Education, in interface with a literature focused on the aforementioned martial art. Therefore, a block of six classes involving aspects of Karate was proposed based on procedures that covered: exposure of children's video related to fights, collective reading of fables alusive to the theme, experiences of imitation games to gestures of art and opposition games. From the classes, excerpts from the daily routine of preschool and the community were confused with the understandings of the teachers of the institution around the struggles, which are generally associated with violence and/or aggression. While these readings have been identified a better development of socialization skills, mutual respect and diverse motor skills, as well as improving interpersonal relationships explained in the field of body experience, gestures and movements. In addition, there were promising advances in the practical and theoretical learning of subjects involved in the practice of karate.
