DANCE, CHILDREN AND TECHNOLOGIES: FAVORING THE INTEGRATION OF LANGUAGES IN THE EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTO

Abstract

This investigation sought to experience the possibility of experiencing dance with children between 4 and 5 years of age in a Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education (CMEI) in the city of Goiânia - GO, with information and communication technologies (ICT) as the central axis of methodological procedures. To this end, studies that looked at dance with childhood were accessed, as well as teacher training to work this language with children; in addition to authors who discuss ICT in the school environment. It was a qualitative research with a case study character, in which 10 dance meetings were held using the cell phone, datashow, tablet and other electronics resources. The production and analysis of the materials consisted of recording photos and videos captured by the researchers and the participating children. It was noted that the use of information and communication technologies in dance experiences with young girls and boys, was feasible, as they aroused their interest in the integration of artistic languages. This investigation can collaborate with the training of teachers, since the Curricular Guidelines on teaching professionalism emphasize the need for ITC to improve pedagogical practices and the cultural expansion of those involved, as well as boosting other ways of approaching dance in a critical and creative interface with ITC in Early Childhood Education.
