The intention of this work was to investigate how the activities of theater, carried
out in the pre-schools of Infant Education could contribute to the child s
development. The approach used in this investigation was the Cultural history of
the School of Vigotski and its collaborators. The first discussed point was the
meaning of creation and how this could happen in the infancy. The second step
was to study the child s development through this theoretical referential prioritizing
the concepts that should guide the work with theater in the Infant Education. They
are: the concept of the main activity and the concept of the Zone of the Next
Development. Understanding the concept of the main activity as the activity
responsible for significant changes in the main psychic functions, since the main
activity in the pre-school is the role-play, I emphasize its characteristics and
differentiate it from the theatrical activity. The contribution of the role-play and the
theatrical activities to the child s development lies in the fact that they propitiate the
child to carry out tasks and to live situations that he normally still could not live
using his psychic functions in development. Thus, the work of the teacher in the
theatrical activities and the role-play must be to orient in order to create the Zone of
the next Development of the child. The next step was to investigate how the
theatrical activity and the role-play happen in the Infant Education. This way I
opted to carry out a qualitative research, through semi-structured interviews with
eight teachers of Infant Education of three municipal schools (EMEIs) of São
Carlos. The analysis indicated that the work with theater performed by the
interviewed teachers is little valued and is based on the concept of Theater,
Education and Child of each professional. It was also pointed the lack of autonomy
of the professionals and a theoretical background that can improve the
pedagogical practice in relation to the theatrical activity as well as to the role play.
The need of an initial training of the teacher and a continued training is finally
discussed to justify the theatrical work as a pedagogical procedure, mainly, as an
activity that creates the Zone of Next Development.
