A influência da afetividade como ferramenta metodológica de aprendizagem no processo de ensino e seus impactos no desenvolvimento cognitivo e social de crianças da educação infantil

Abstract

This paper addresses the influence of affectivity as a methodological tool in the teaching-learning process in Early Childhood Education, highlighting its impact on children's cognitive and social development. Through a theoretical analysis, the importance of building affective bonds between educators and students is discussed, emphasizing how these bonds promote an environment of security and trust, which are essential for learning. Fundamental concepts about affectivity and child development are presented, exploring how emotions and social interactions influence the child's integral development. The role of the educator is analyzed as a mediator of these relationships, and pedagogical strategies are proposed that prioritize the personalization of teaching and the strengthening of affective relationships in the school context. The research concludes that affectivity not only enriches the educational environment, but also enhances cognitive and social development, preparing children for more meaningful learning and for facing future challenges.
