Abstract The present study examines the perception of historical relevance that student teachers of Early Childhood Education have at the University of Zaragoza (Spain). Six hundred and sixty historical stories written by the students are analyzed in conjunction with texts that justify the choice of one historical event or another. The research seeks to determine the major historical contents that are considered relevant and relate them to the typology of the narratives. Historical relevance is a second-order concept of basic historical thinking in Early Childhood Education teacher training as, although the curriculum for this stage does not include historical content, it does include objectives that enable these topics to be addressed.

The chances of success of the internship in early childhood education, which takes place in the third degree, are very high. However, there may be circumstances that may befall the teacher-training student, which in a way turn the formative experience into a pretext for personal and professional growth. In order to know and understand its practice, we use narrative methodology. It is the most suitable way we have found to share his voice, giving him epistemological authority and being a pretext to improve from his experience. Her words lead us to understand that she wants to be a teacher, and that she learns in any situation, even though her tutor is in a context and with a very particular reality. The conclusion is in continuous construction as the student has learned, disapproved and reappeared with the practice; from being a student of practice to becoming one in practice.

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) teachers have a central role in supporting young children’s physical activity (PA) and overall development in the early years. However, the value of early childhood education teacher training (ECETT) programmes is not widely understood. This study aimed to investigate pre-service teachers’ perceptions of perceived competence when (1) supporting a child’s PA, (2) teaching PE, and (3) observing and assessing a child’s motor skills and PA. These self-evaluations were compared with a range of individual, educational, and behavioural characteristics. Final-year Bachelor degree pre-service teachers (n = 274; 54%) from seven universities in Finland participated in the self-report questionnaire. The results of the linear regression models showed that the relevant PE studies and previous experiences of pre-service teachers predicted higher perceived competence of supporting a child’s PA, teaching PE, and observing and assessing a child’s motor skills and PA. Thus, the study findings demonstrated how teacher training could positively influence perceptions and attitudes to increase a person’s perceived competence when implementing PE in the early years. Overall, results reinforce the importance of PE in ECETT, and the time devoted to this syllabus area should be maintained or increased.

Teacher education programs serving early childhood education teacher candidates have unique challenges and need to work to ensure that each future educator be exposed to a variety of settings and practices throughout their preparation in order to best prepare them to serve the needs of their future young students. A solid background in human development, a well-rounded complement of methods courses grounded in developmentally appropriate practice and experience in a diverse variety of Professional Development Schools (PDS) will go far in meeting this goal. In Pre-K through 3rd grade classrooms early childhood teacher educators can significantly shape these competencies through their choice of, support for, and use of PDSs.

ResumoEste texto apresenta alguns resultados de uma pesquisa que foi financiada pelo Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) e tem por objetivo apresentar e analisar aspectos referentes à dimensão afetiva na relação professor/criança, pautando-se em algumas cenas observadas no cotidiano de escolas das redes pública e particular de educação infantil sob a luz do pensamento freireano. A abordagem metodológica utilizada nesta pesquisa foi de cunho qualitativo e o procedimento de coletas de dados deu-se por meio de observação in loco em diferentes escolas de educação infantil da rede pública e particular de ensino, localizadas na cidade de São Paulo, por alunas(os) que cursavam o terceiro semestre do curso de Pedagogia no ano de 2014, em uma universidade privada localizada na cidade de São Paulo, e cumpriam o estágio curricular obrigatório nesse nível de ensino. As(os) alunas(os) registraram cenas com posturas positivas e negativas por parte das(os) docentes regentes, observadas no cotidiano escolar. Para este texto, escolhemos quatro cenas que apresentaram posturas positivas do professor em relação à criança pequena e quatro que apresentaram posturas negativas. As últimas nos deixam muito apreensivas, uma vez que as crianças têm sido colocadas em situações penosas, seja de escolarização precoce, falta de respeito, falta de compromisso por parte alguns educadores. Muitas escolas estão alfabetizando as crianças de forma imperativa cada vez mais cedo, ignorando as especificidades e as necessidades da infância. Deve-se, portanto, discutir, em espaços de formação de professores, seja inicial ou continuada, as situações do cotidiano para que tais aspectos possam ser trabalhados na perspectiva freireana da ação-reflexão-ação proposta pelo autor, isto é, observar a ação, refletir sobre ela, para, em seguida, voltar a uma nova ação com a prática ressignificada.Palavras-chave: Educação infantil. Dimensão afetiva. Perspectiva freireana. Formação de professores.

The methodological approach used in this research was a qualitative one and the procedure of data collection took place through on-site observation in different schools of Early Childhood Education, public and private, located in Sao Paulo city. The observations were conducted by students from a private university located in the city of Sao Paulo, who attended the third semester of an Education college course in 2014, and met the mandatory curricular training for this level of education. The students had observed and recorded scenes in everyday school life, documenting positive and negative attitudes on the part of children’s teachers. To this article, we chose four scenes that represent positive teachers attitudes in relation to small children and four with negative attitudes. The latest leave us very apprehensive since the children have been placed in painful situations, either early schooling, lack of respect, lack of commitment by some educators. Many schools are increasingly teaching basic literacy skills to small children, ignoring specific child’s needs. Therefore we should be discussing in teacher training spaces, either initial or continued, the everyday situations so that these aspects can be worked in Freire’s perspective of action-reflection-action proposed by the author, that is, watch the action, to reflect on it, then return to a new one with resignified practice.Keywords: Early childhood education. Affective dimension. Freire’s perspective. Teacher training.

El enfoque metodológico utilizado en esa investigación fue cualitativo y el procedimiento de recogida de datos se llevó a cabo a través de la observación in situ en diferentes escuelas de Educación Infantil, pública y privada, situada en la ciudad de São Paulo. Las observaciones se llevaron a cabo para los estudiantes de una universidad privada ubicada en la ciudad de São Paulo, que asistió al tercer semestre de la Facultad de Educación en 2014, adequada con el plan de estudios de formación obligatoria para el nivel de la educación. Los estudiantes habían observado y registrado escenas en la vida escolar cotidiana, documentando las actitudes positivas y negativas por parte de los maestros de los niños. Para este artículo, elegimos cuatro escenas que representan a los maestros actitudes positivas en relación con los niños pequeños y cuatro con actitudes negativas. La última nos dejó muy preocupado ya que los niños han sido colocados en situaciones dolorosas, ya sea la escolarización temprana, la falta de respeto, la falta de compromiso de algunos educadores. Muchas escuelas hacen la alfabetización cada vez más temprana, haciendo caso omiso de las necesidades específicas del niño. Por tanto, deberíamos estar discutiendo en espacios de formación del profesorado, ya sea inicial o continuado, las situaciones cotidianas para que estos aspectos se pueden trabajar en la perspectiva de Freire de acción-reflexión-acción propuesto por el autor, es decir, ver la acción, para reflejar en ella , a continuación, volver a una nueva con la práctica resignificada.Palabras clave: Educación infantil.
