SUMMARY:

This Master's Thesis aimed to analyze the meanings and practices of teachers in relation to listening to children in the context of Early Childhood Education, considering that Early Childhood Education is a collective space of multiple relationships, which, among other possibilities, can promote the encouragement of democratic life. In this sense, during the investigation process, we were guided by the premises: a) listening to children goes beyond listening to them, a technique or a mechanical skill, as it presupposes interaction and dialogue; b) to enable children to be listened to, it is necessary to give up curricula that are fixed and organized from disciplinary content or other arrangements based on the views and intentions of adults, such as spontaneity, and give the child a status of subject with agency, with the right to freedom to choose and intervene in the course of situations in their lives (FORMOSINHO, 2007). Thus, we understand that listening contributes to ensuring the right of children to democratic life, their effective participation, through the sharing of their knowledge, dialogue, interactions, negotiation of choices-decisions in and about the situations that involve them, in a process that is essentially ethical and respectful of the children involved in/from the dialogue. Thus, the study sought to answer the question: what are the meanings and practices of teachers in relation to listening to children in the context of Early Childhood Education? As our object is listening to children in the context of early childhood education, from the design of the investigative work, we assume postures and conceptions that recognize the subjects as capable, active and participating in all the moments-situations in which they are involved. Thus, the chosen methodological contributions privilege the relationships between the subjects and value attentive listening in the research process, adopting a qualitative approach, based on L. Vigotski's historical-cultural principles for research on human processes and propositions of dialogism of Mikhail Bakhtin for research in the social sciences. Based on the indication of the Municipal Department of Education of Natal/RN, we defined as an empirical field two institutions - which are known in their communities as encouraging the training of teachers, who value the practices of studies and the participation of children in the school context - and as subjects of research Teachers from different groups of children and pedagogical coordinators. We consider that, in general, the teachers participating in the research recognize the importance of listening to children, indicating that the topic has been the object of discussions in the context of their schools and how they take ownership of this subject. From their reports, we evidence that the participating teachers relate listening to different conceptions, approaching discussions that consider listening as an ethical way of being and relating to children, highlighting the languages, interests and needs of children in their life contexts. However, we point out that although the participating professionals present in their speeches different conceptions about listening, they demonstrate a still fragile knowledge about what it really means to listen to children in a sensitive and productive way, indicating the need for investment in continuing education actions on the subject, explaining that the teacher's role in the listening process is not simple actions, but needs to consider the child and their points of view, needs and interests, being, therefore, a complex process that demands sensitivity to meet the children's needs.
