RESUMO

This research sought to analyze the recent production about the early childhood Education (O to 6 years old) in Brazil and to delineate the contribution of different sciences for the constitution of a Childhood Pedagogy. It was taken as representative universe for the analysis a group ofworks produced inside the Human and Social Sciences and presented in scientific congresses between 1990 and 1996. The focus of the analysis was centered basically in the production of the area of the Education. However, it took place also a survey ofthe production in another scientific areas, such as: Psychology (SBP and SBPC); Anthropology, Sociology and Polítical Science (ANPOCS and SBPC); and History (ANPHU and SBPC). The expectation was to chart the ftequency, the inclusion and the thematic universe in each one ofthese areas with the objective of analyzing these productions in such a way to facilitate a visualization ofthe contribution that they bring for a larger understanding about the children education The academic production about the early childhood Education in the areas analyzed by this research exhibition that the knowledge is conftonted in each specific field with the same polemics presents in the relationship between the childhood and the Pedagogy: the polemic between fteedom and subordination, between nature and culture, between attention and control, etc. The analysis evidences tOOt these polemics end up defining the aproach and the theoretical-methodological orientation ofthe investigations on the theme "Childhood Education" in the different areas. Another interesting characteristic is that those tendencies more approached to a posture of social ftaming, based on idealized subjects and naturalized contexts, or still, summed up in researches that privilege the individual and the establishment of development and learning pattems come losing space in the nineties. They are losing space for those tendencies that, in opposite way, take more into account the context dimensions of the studied object. In this movement of analysis, theoretical constructions were e"f Ídenced. Nevertheless the countless polemics still presents, this theoretical constructions allowed the identification of a group of regularities that suggests the possibility of the birth of a Pedagogy, with body, whit procedures and whit its own conceiving. In the same way, an accumulation of knowledge is observed about the childhood education that has been contributing to the constitution of a private field in the ambit ofthe Pedagogy. This field I come denominating: Early Childhood Education Pedagogy. The whole analysis movement and understanding that I tried to develop in this thesis still consolidated more the initial conviction that the present elements in the daily production of the "creches" and "pré-schools" aiready find an elaboration at academic levei that allows to speak about this Early Childhood Education Pedagogy as a specialty that needs to be welcomed better in the ambit of the educational practice and the educational research
