Brincadeiras, jogos e a autorregulação da aprendizagem na educação infantil: um estudo de intervenção

Abstract

The present research aims to study the self-regulation of learning in Early Childhood Education through games and games. Self-regulation of learning in young children has been increasingly effective in the school environment as it can help children in their cognitive and metacognitive development. Self-regulation of learning refers to the individual's ability to become more independent and autonomous in their own learning. The self-regulation of learning is a current proposal, supported by the Cognitive Social Theory of Albert Bandura (2008). Given the importance of this construct can mean for the educational field and more specifically for Early Childhood Education, it seeks to understand how self-regulation of learning can contribute to the cognitive development process of preschool children through games and games. From the theoretical-methodological point of view, this study consists of an exploratory and descriptive research of quantitative character, constituting also as an intervention study. Through the application of the CHILD-Independent-Learning Development Toolkit (PISCALHO; VEIGA SIMÃO, 2014), it was observed that children presented less self-regulating aspects in the motivational and cognitive dimensions, which were central focus for the construction of the Intervention Plan, following the assumptions of the Cognitive Social Theory. This is an important collaborative tool for achieving these results in Early Childhood Education.
