FELDMAN, Iara  e  SOUZA, Mariane Lima De. The perception of make-believe activities by children from a Child Education Institution. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2011, vol.4, n.1, pp.26-35. ISSN 1983-8220.

This study investigated the children's perception of children about make-believe activities in the school environment. The study included four children between five and six years of age, in the last year of child education. The children participated in two activities in the "Symbolic Game Workshop" and answered a semistructured interview in accordance with the Piagetian Clinical Method. The results suggest that the children's perception of the make-believe activities has a problematic focus including five issues: 1) awareness that the make-believe activity is not real, 2) the exercise of the symbolic game and the rotation of roles, 3) the point of view of the others, 4) the conflict resolution, and 5) the functional pleasure and the experience of the collective symbolic activity. The conclusion is that the ludic space may be an important form of child stimulation in the school environment.
