THEMES AND CONTENTS IN THE GAME OF ROLES: SHOWING THE WAY FOR PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE WITH LUDIC ACTIVITIES IN CHILDREN´S EDUCATION
ABSTRACT
According to the Historical and Cultural Theory, playful activities are basic within children´s psychic development. A bibliographic research was undertaken to understand the reasons why such activities are relevant for children´s development. Our analysis focused on the production of the authors Leontiev and Elkonin who were engaged in the theory and study of children´s psychic development and periodization. Elkonin states that the game of roles or the game of agents is the ludic activity with the greatest impact on children´s development within the age bracket corresponding to the end of children´s education. The author distinguishes two factors in the game of roles, namely, the theme and the content. When one understands these factors, one has to perceive that, besides concentrating on space and time for this type of ludic activity in educational institutes, its contents should be pedagogically worked out too. Pedagogical agency on the contents of the game is different from directly affecting children´s activities. It rather means the establishment of conditions so that children broaden their cultural worldview by favoring access to knowledge on different human activities within objective reality. Consequently, the possibilities of imitating, imagining and creating would be enriched in the games.
