TEACHER'S CHALLENGE IN THE FACE OF MULTIGRADE CLASSES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Abstract

Education represents a fundamental right and therefore has been studied over the decades, since a society that has access to study tends to be more evolved. Therefore, education has been a challenge for teachers, considering that children, when entering institutions, are no longer unprepared with regard to education, compared to times when digital media was not part of everyday life. Precisely because of this learning outside of school, it is very natural that parents do not take this modality of education as relevant, which results in the configuration of multigrade rooms, where children belong to the same group in different learning conditions. Therefore, within this reality, this study had as general objective, to understand the challenges faced by teachers who teach in multigrade classes in early childhood education. Having as methodology the literature review, where the search engine for references occurred in the Scielo and Medline databases, whose temporality of the selected documents was concentrated from 1993 to 2023, with the documents in the Portuguese language and available in full. Concluding that numerous and multigrade classrooms represent a challenge for teachers, as they need to be more prepared to serve these children within their abilities and limitations, so that everyone can learn effectively.
