The correlation between caring and educating from the point of view of nursery school monitors and teachers

Abstract

The writing deals with the correlation between caring and educating from the point of view of daycare monitors and teachers. The discussion is based on curricular documents about and for Early Childhood Education, in dialogue with authors who discuss the theme. Our main objective is to analyze the correlation between caring and educating based on the relationship between teachers and monitors of municipal daycare centers in Tocantinópolis (TO). The methodology used was the bibliographic analysis followed by the application of a questionnaire to teachers and monitors, with objective and discursive questions referring to the work they develop and the relationships that involve this work. From the analysis carried out, we consider the need for continuous training proposals for early childhood education professionals to be evident, since a constant attempt to divide between the practices of educating and caring is still perceptible, according to the understanding of some teachers present in these educational institutions.
