PAMPER SONGS IN KINDERGARTEN AND NURSERY SCHOOL PAMPER SONG, ENCHANTED CHILD

Abstract

This article presents the pedagogical intervention project resulting from the Supervised Teaching Practice, developed within the scope of the Master's Degree in Pre-school Education, of the Institute of Education of the University of Minho, implemented in kindergarten and nursery school. The theme of the project was entitled The Mime Songs in Kindergarten and Nursery School: Mimicking Songs, Enchanted Children, which emerged after the observations made having in mind the interests of the groups of children in each context for music and singing songs. In the approach of this theme I intended to involve the maximum participation of the children of both contexts in order to captivate, motivate and enthuse them in the performance of the activities. With regard to the methodologies that supported the implementation of this project, the research methodology was close to an action research and teaching methodology was based on the High/Scope curriculum model. The data collection instruments were: observation, field notes and photographic records. In reference to the data obtained it was found that the objectives were achieved, since throughout the implementation of the project the children were motivated, engaged, participatory and, above all, delighted, which shows interest and contentment for the work developed; the children acquired new skills and also expanded knowledge about music, through the pamper songs.
