O presente estudo tem como objetivo entender a percepção dos professores de educação infantil sobre os princípios da Integração Sensorial (IS), assim como a identificação dos sinais sugestivos de Disfunção de Processamento Sensorial (DPS) e as atribuições ao processo de aprendizagem. A amostra foi constituída de 13 professores vinculados a 3 escolas de educação infantil do município, com os quais aplicou-se um questionário e uma entrevista semiestruturada. Através desta coleta, foi possível encontrar uma dificuldade no reconhecimento dos princípios de IS, assim como na relação dos comportamentos das crianças que apresentam dificuldades de aprendizagem com sinais de DPS ocorrendo uma atribuição desses acontecimentos a fatores familiares e da idade infantil. Contudo, conclui-se que os professores não possuem preparação para lidar com crianças que apresentem demandas relacionadas a DPS e que eles não conseguem compreender a importância de uma melhor investigação e avaliação dessas crianças por um profissional habilitado como o terapeuta ocupacional.Palavras-chave: processamento sensorial, aprendizagem, professores, crianças.AbstractThe present study aims to understand the perception of early childhood education teachers about the principles of Sensory Integration (IS), as well as the identification of signs suggestive of Sensory Processing Dysfunction (DPS) and attributions to the learning process. The sample consisted of 3 early childhood education schools that together present a total of 49 teachers, of which only 13 agreed to participate in the research, where a questionnaire was applied and a semi-structured interview was conducted with the objective of profiling these teachers. Through this collection it was possible to find a difficulty in recognizing the principles of S, as well as in the relationship of the behaviors of children who present learning difficulties with signs of SD, with an attribution of these events to family factors and child age. However, it is concluded that teachers are not prepared to deal with children who present demands related to Sensory Processing Dysfunction, and that they cannot understand the importance of better investigation and evaluation of these children, by a qualified professional such as the Occupational Therapist.Keywords: sesorial processing, learning, teaching, children.ResumenEl presente estudio tiene como objetivo comprender la percepción de los maestros de educación en la primera infancia sobre los principios de la Integración Sensorial (IS), así como la identificación de signos sugestivos de la Disfunción del Procesamiento Sensorial (DPS) y las atribuciones al proceso de aprendizaje.

Children spend a large amount of time each day in early childhood education and care (ECEC) institutions, and the ECEC play environments are important for children’s play opportunities. This includes children’s opportunities to engage in risky play. This study examined the relationship between the outdoor play environment and the occurrence of children’s risky play in ECEC institutions. Children (n = 80) were observed in two-minute sequences during periods of the day when they were free to choose what to do. The data consists of 935 randomly recorded two-minute videos, which were coded second by second for several categories of risky play as well as where and with what materials the play occurred. Results revealed that risky play (all categories in total) was positively associated with fixed equipment for functional play, nature and other fixed structures, while analysis of play materials showed that risky play was positively associated with wheeled toys. The results can support practitioners in developing their outdoor areas to provide varied and exciting play opportunities.

This article discusses the concept of Socioenvironmental Educommunicationin the context of preschool education. An interface that emerges from the relationship between Educommunication and Environmental Education, this concept will be exposed based on a bibliographic systematization, when it becomes possible to find the contemporary intersections that arise from the use of audiovisual technology as mediation in the teaching-learning process. Such analysis will be done taking into consideration the documentary 1,2,3 Playing –Reinventing School Spaces, produced by the city of Joinville, Santa Catarina, which brings an audiovisual material made by the students. Using a quanti-qualitative approach, emerges the pedagogical power of Socioenvironmental Education, which ends up bringing to the scene language and content that project another way of thinking the school. Finally, there is a reflection on how, based on particularities, it is possible to create educational policies that contemplate the audiovisual tool in early childhood education.

With many states increasingly adopting Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS) to rate their early childhood education (ECE) and child care programs, researchers question the use of these systems. Specifically, they are trying to understand the value of information provided by QRIS ratings and the implications QRIS ratings have on the quality of and access to ECE and child care programs for families. In this study, we attempt to understand the value of QRIS ratings when they are provided for families at the household level. To do so we take a close look at the relationship between availability of programs rated by the Quality Improvement and Rating System (QIRS) in Arizona and demographics of the communities they serve, and compare the utilization of the programs in communities with varying demographic compositions. While we find that more high-quality ECE and child care programs are available for children that are Hispanic, Black, and eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, we also find that families underutilized those programs. We argue that this underutilization might be due to a variety of barriers that the families are experiencing and believe that efforts should be directed to work with families and assist them in understanding their enrollment options.

This chapter aims to shed light on the relationship between the development of laterality and the learning of mathematics in early childhood education using the ABN method. Thus, the authors present an experience developed with 24 children of 4 and 5 years old from several sessions of physical education where laterality and mathematics were worked on in the framework of a project developed in the classroom. The neuropsychological laterality test and a psychomotor table with values referred exclusively to manual and foot laterality, and indicators referred to the ABN method were used as evaluation instruments. The results obtained indicate that students with homogeneous right- or left-handed laterality obtain better results, as well as those with crossed laterality, since they have defined their manual and foot dominance. However, students with undefined laterality obtain worse results, even showing a lateral tendency towards the use of the right side of the body.
