Infant Education as a Field of Knowledge and Its Possible Interfaces with Physical Education

Abstract

This text discusses the participation of Physical Education in the construction of Infant Education as a field for the production of knowledge. We investigate the contexts of production for Infant Education and Physical Education in order to understand at what point theses two areas cross one another and build knowledge on common grounds. We highlight post-graduation courses of Physical Education in Brazil as a key element in this process. KEY WORDS: Infant education - Physical Education - Field of knowledge.
