THE ROLE PLAY AS EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: NOTES FOR HUMAN EMANCIPATION

Abstract

This work is part of the dialogue of Historical-Cultural Psychology and the pedagogical processes from early childhood education. It approaches the contents brought by Daniil Elkonin, a Russian author who devoted his studies to the periodization of human development and the processes of the role play emergence in the structure of the individual activity, to argue that is part of the school duties to be involved at the role play as a pedagogical activity of preschool age. It is defended along this article an education process that does not take for granted the commodification of human relations as given at capitalist society context, as through role plays, anticapitalist attitudes can be taught, strengthening the struggle for human emancipation. It is concluded that teaching such attitudes involves not only the teachers training, but also for their politicization and involvement at public education affairs. In order to achieve this, we suggest the creation of cultural spaces for activities, which can promote dialogue and reflection among the category.
