Abstract

This project of research sets out to investigate the activity of students in collective plays at school, in order to understand the development process of your consciousness which is characterized as alienated or humanized, through study and investigation of their behavior and statements during these games. The location of the research will be an first cycle elementary school of Presidente Prudente / SP. The subjects are students of 06-07 years age which are studying at second year of that institution. It is intended to record the behavior and statements of the subjects when in gambling activity in physical education classes developed by members of the study group and research GEIPEE / LAR and from which this research is part of. The categorization of speech and behavior of the subjects will aim to analyze if the process of development of gaming activities are intentionally focused on humanizing the subject from the gaming activity, or is directed to dispose of such securities, which would imply a limited consciousness. Emphasizing the importance of gaming activity in human development, this project of research seeks theory Historic-Cultural and historical and dialectical materialism in their theoretical and methodological assumptions, and Leontiev (1989), Elkonin (1998) and Marx (2004), will be the main base. Considering how much the enabler capitalist society is the production and reproduction of alienation of individuals in their social and institutional relations, means that the school as a social institution, can contribute to the formation of human beings alienated (Duarte, 2006 ). It starts with the central idea, in this sense, that many pedagogical practices in school education, including those related to education of children, especially in games and activities, may reproduce processes of alienation, in order that children in their school relationships tend to play the roles found in society itself. Thus, it becomes necessary to emphasize the role of the teacher as mediator of development processes of students and valuing it as a subject essential in the formation and development of consciousness of children in school. Will be conducted systematic observations of classes applied by the research group along with the researcher, which characterizes this research as qualitative and participant. The collected data will be recorded in a field journal, which will be fully considered in order to categorize and discuss the play activity and their implications in building consciousness and sociability of the subjects when participating in recreational activities during the classes.
