Bodily Availability as a Pedagogical Conduct in Teaching Babies

ABSTRACT

This article originates from a research that sought to understand how the composition of educational relationships is demarcated by the body in teaching babies. The research subjects were two teachers and 12 babies from a public Early Childhood Education institution, the data being generated through participant observation, written, photographic and audiovisual records. The collected data give visibility to the body and the bodily demands and dynamics of the teachers in the composition of these educational relationships in teaching babies who require constant and intermittent individual relationships and a bodily availability as a pedagogical conduct.
