O projeto Espaço Lúdico Pedagógico em Arraias-TO: suas limitações e desafios para o futuro

Abstract

The present conclusion work of the Pedagogy course was presented at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) at the Arraias campus. The research aims to investigate the overall importance of the Pedagogical Ludic Space for the formation and development of its participants. Specific objectives include understanding the creation of the Ludic Space Project and its main goal; analyzing the activities of the scholarship holders in the Ludic Space during its first year and their relevance for the development of children and scholarship holders; and pointing out the limitations of the Ludic Space for parents who study or work at the project's campus. It is justified by the importance of the Pedagogical Ludic Space project and its benefits for both the academic and external community, beyond the researcher's involvement as the first scholarship holder of the project. The theoretical framework presented concepts from Barbosa and Horn on organization, Kishimoto (2010) on games, plays, and toys, and Abramovich (1997) on reading. The methodology was qualitative, involving data collection through interviews, online forms, and observation. As a result, it is evident that the project is indeed highly important for the university, the academics, staff, and their children. However, there are challenges and limitations that require resources and interest from those in charge to ensure the space continues to function and helps children access their right to play.
