A EXPERIÊNCIA SOCIAL DAS COORDENADORAS PEDAGÓGICAS DA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This text aims to analyze the process of professional constitution of the pedagogical coordinators of daycare centers and preschools, based on the social experiences they have lived in Early Childhood Education. The article is conceptually based on the Pedagogies of Childhood and Early Childhood Education (FERNANDES; CAMPOS, 2015; ROCHA, 2001; SILVA, 2008; among others), articulated with the sociology of experience, formulated by François Dubet (1996). From the methodological point of view, the empirical material was produced through document analysis and interviews with six pedagogical coordinators from Turmalina, a city situated in the northern of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and, consecutively, was submitted to content analysis (BARDIN, 1977). The analyzes of this material allowed to verify that they act from different logic of action to become professionals, which affects the construction process of their professionalities. The study highlights the emergence of an epistemological statute that defines the roles due to the pedagogical coordination of daycare centers and preschools, considering the sociopolitical and pedagogical specificities of Early Childhood Education.
