L’imaginari infantil i les representacions mentals

Abstract

[cat] En aquest treball es presenta una proposta didàctica per treballar l’imaginari i les representacions mentals a partir d’un recull de cinc contes. Concretament, l’imaginari es crea, de manera inconscient, a partir de les experiències i de l’entorn més proper de l’infant i, en canvi, les representacions mentals es formen, de manera conscient, quan l’infant és capaç de pensar i visualitzar un objecte que no està present en el moment concret. Per tant, són dos conceptes interrelacionats, ja que creen el paisatge mental que els infants utilitzen, sobretot, per imaginar i donar sentit al joc simbòlic.

[eng] This work presents a didactic proposal to work on the imaginary and mental representations based on a collection of five stories. Specifically, the imaginary is creates, unconsciously, from the experience and the immediate environment of the child and, instead, mental representations are formed, consciously, when the child is able to think and visualize an object that is not present at the particular moment. Therefore, they are two interrelated concepts, as they create the mental landscape that children use, above all, to imagine and give meaning to the symbolic game.
