SPACE, PLACE AND PLAY: WHAT TEACHERS THINK AND WHAT STUDENTS LIVE?

Abstract

This article explores the play of children in public spaces and counter-round school in a district of the city of Curitiba-PR, in view of teachers and educators. The stages of research were: selection of spaces and times of play, questionnaires and observation. From the data we consider that: the spaces for the experience of the school are primarily recreational spaces and counter-round school, and the times for the "play" are the playground at school, free time in school and shift counter possibly weekends. Therefore, we infer the need to: enhance the supply and maintenance of public spaces and equipment, in addition to a greater involvement of parents, teachers and educators in the stimulation of recreational experiences.
