In this article, academic production in the context of Graduate Studies in Education is analyzed, focusing on studies that address play, body, and movement in the training of Early Childhood Education teachers. The objective was to verify how the theme is addressed in training spaces, specifically in the Pedagogy course. This study is characterized as a bibliographic review of the State of Knowledge type (Morosini; Kohls-Santos; Bittencourt, 2021). Scientific productions from 2006 to 2016 were consulted, refined using descriptors, categorized, and analyzed. The results indicate that the theoretical framework of the research reflects the influence of studies on the body originating from Physical Education, classic studies of Early Childhood Education, and themes such as children’s participation and agency, highlighting the existence of a gap regarding the child’s body/movement as a focus in Pedagogy.
Keywords: Body/movement. Play. Early Childhood Education teachers.
