CONSTITUENT ELEMENTS OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE

Abstract

The article introduces the elements that make up the experiences produced by children in the Early Learning environment. The category experience was refined based on the criticism of culture and modernity in Walter Benjamin and Social Studies of Childhood. This qualitative study aimed to capture the density of children's actions. It was found that children's experiences are the result of a combining of the actions that they develop in the relations they establish with the artifacts, in the relations between themselves and adults, and in the relationships among the children themselves. Through their experiences within the institution, the children articulate these experiences through the situations experienced in different temporalities from those of adults, thereby creating fields experience.
