Abstract

This paper analyzes the importance of the Play Space in the context of Rural Education at the Federal University of Tocantins, Arraias campus. The study addresses three main aspects: the Play Space in Rural Education; the academic development of students and their pedagogical practices; the contributions of the play space to child development; and access to and retention in the Rural Education program. The research aims to investigate how the play space can contribute to pedagogical practices, promoting children's learning and development, as well as offering support to university mothers so they can balance studies with motherhood. To this end, the research involves the academic community of the Federal University of Tocantins, Arraias campus, which has a play space for Rural Education students to develop pedagogical activities with children, while also allowing mothers to attend classes knowing their children are under adequate supervision. The theoretical framework is based on the perspectives of Piaget (2003), Vygotsky (1988), Emília Ferreiro, Akishimoto, and Maria Montessori, highlighting the relevance of play for child development and its importance in the teaching-learning process. Based on the data collected, it will be possible to understand the contributions of this space to the academic community and its influence on student retention, especially among university students who are mothers
