ART IN TEACHING EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN EDUCATION: LOOKING FOR!

Abstract

When subjecting teacher training for Childhood Education, it is considered that the current context requires teachers to listen more than to speak, to experience more than to follow the model, that they are close to kids observing their ways of being and expressing the world. It is also considered there is the need to assure besides specific knowledge on the practice field, sensitive knowledge which makes reflection and experience possible in the aesthetic, artistic and cultural scope in the training. Before such premises, art is searched in the curriculum proposal, collating relevant laws, resorting to theme researches and presenting conceptions on the teacher aesthetic training. From the search, a fertile encounter: teachers’ narratives telling their paths in aesthetic training and in their relation with art, which indicate possibilities to rethink teacher training for Childhood Education.
