GIRALDO URREGO, Laura María. Space and its use in the social construction of the norm. Zona prox. [online]. 2015, n.23, pp.49-72. ISSN 2145-9444.  https://doi.org/10.14482/zp.22.5832.

Sometimes, the educational space has been named as the third teacher, that is, it in itself has an educational and symbolic value, as mentioned, for example, in the philosophy of Quality Gardens of the Healthy Start Program (Medellin, Colombia). Thus, the question of the relationship between physical space and the construction of the norm in children gains importance. The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence of spaces and their use in the construction of the standard, by children of 4-5 years in the Aures 1 Kindergarten. The main results show that the space promotes learning processes, but the focal point is centered on the use given to these spaces and the relational dynamic way that is woven between space, teacher and infants.

Keywords : spaces; social construction of the norm; architecture; learning; children.
