Abstract

This article presents the data produced in the first stage of an action research carried out in a rural school, in the municipal network of Ilhéus, on free play in the Early Childhood Education segment. As such, it is an integral part of a larger project developed by the Research Group on Education, Didactics and Playfulness (GEPEL), linked to the Postgraduate Program in Education (PPGE) at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), entitled Baú Brincante. This research is configured as an inter-institutional project, under development, carried out by GEPEL. A study that emerged from the cooperation between the PPGE/UFBA and the Experice research group at the Paris XIII University, Sorbonne, based on the Boite a Jouer project, coordinated by Professor Gilles Brougère. To develop the research on screen, the principles of qualitative research and existential action research were observed. The data production devices used were participant observation, photographic and videographic records and a portfolio of documents provided by the school. For the diagnostic stage, highlighted in this article, the context of Early Childhood Education in a peasant school - Escola Municipal Sérgio Carneiro - and the work developed during the pandemic period will be demonstrated. As an intervention, in the context of action research, a posteriori, there is the construction of a new trunk (space in which unstructured materials will be made available to the children of the referred school) built with specific elements of this peasant culture, with strong indigenous influence for search sequence.
