THE IMPORTANCE OF PLAY PRACTICES IN THE SCHOOL ROUTINE AND IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE

Abstract

The general objective of this study is to analyze the importance of playful practices in the school routine and in the construction of knowledge. However, seeking to achieve the proposed objective, a bibliographical research was carried out, which used articles, magazines, and studies that deal with the present theme presented in this study, as a source of theoretical basis. Play plays a fundamental role in the interaction between children and other children and between children and adults, whether in the family, social or school context. Games are paths that lead children to experience and socialize attitudes, behaviors, experiences and experiences. In this form, games are dynamic, eclectic activities that do not fit into a hermetic definition. A joke or a game gains shine in the act of its execution. The game is proactive because it develops mental knowledge schemes, those that trigger the learning of new knowledge, such as: comparing, observing, inferring, classifying, serializing, conceptualizing, planning and predicting. For all these reasons, the game is essential as a didactic activity, since by playing the child is able to articulate theory and practice, to raise hypotheses, to experiment, to challenge their physical and mental capacity, transforming learning into an attractive activity full of interests. . The school space becomes an environment where liking and wanting are inseparable.
