(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-21) Cruz García, Ingrid Yohana; Salcedo Urrutia , Daniela; Torres Soler, Laura Stephania; Montoya Mogollon, Diana Carolina; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002290347; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002343815; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002376312; https://orcid.org/0009-0002-0575-5392; https://orcid.org/0009-0007-1247-7016
The main objective of this research is to strengthen school coexistence among boys and girls in the transition grade (preschool level) at Colegio Tesoro de la Cumbre, through neurodidactic strategies focused on the development of socioemotional skills. This enables the implementation of dynamics that support the subjective understanding of emotions and their management within a school environment where coexistence-related situations arise, which could be mediated by such strategies. From a qualitative methodology under the participatory action research approach, neurodidactic strategies were implemented to enhance emotional competencies and influence school coexistence. The strategies focused on the development of socioemotional skills, integrating activities such as cooperative games, emotional recognition dynamics, affective routines, and emotional self-regulation techniques. These activities stimulated brain areas associated with empathy, decision-making, self-control, and conflict resolution. The strategies are grounded in the results and advances of neuroeducation, which highlight the importance of emotions in cognitive processes and in the consolidation of meaningful learning. Thus, the application of neurodidactic strategies oriented toward socioemotional development serves as a pertinent pedagogical tool for strengthening school coexistence in the transition grade, contributing to the holistic education of boys and girls from an inclusive and neurodidactic perspective.

School coexistence in early childhood is constructed through pedagogically mediated relational experiences rather than spontaneously. This study aimed to analyze how play-based activities contribute to strengthening school coexistence among transition-grade children at Institución Educativa Técnica Agropecuaria La Inmaculada, María Auxiliadora campus, located in the rural area of Yopal, Casanare. A qualitative approach was adopted under a critical-reflective action-research design, involving eight students and the classroom teacher as researcher. Data were collected using techniques and instruments such as systematic observation, field notes, follow-up and checklist rubrics, and a guided playful conversation, enabling a situated and progressive understanding of the group’s relational dynamics. During the diagnostic phase, difficulties were identified in social interaction, emotional regulation, respect for agreements, conflict resolution, and dependence on teacher mediation, revealing that school coexistence was in a process of construction. Based on these findings, the implementation phase consisted of a sequence of contextualized play-based workshops aimed at fostering respect, empathy, solidarity, cooperation, and group participation. The results revealed progressive improvements in peer relationships, reflected in increased cooperation, mutual support, organized participation, acceptance of rules, and enhanced emotional expression. These findings demonstrate that pedagogically mediated play constitutes a privileged context for relational learning in early childhood. In conclusion, play-based strategies, situated in the rural context and intentionally integrated into teaching practice, enhance school coexistence by providing meaningful experiences of interaction, care, and collective construction of social life.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-02-13) Rojas Camelo, Diana Alexandra; Sandoval Ruíz, María del Pilar; Cano Areiza, Marcela; Cano Areiza, Marcela; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000949418; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001660348; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=JcqquqUAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002281155; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002287753; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=2XJqYYAAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=JcqquqUAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5169-8523; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7376-2626; https://orcid.org/0009-0001-7460-9535
This study stems from a problem where parenting styles directly impact the school climate. This situation was evident in various incidents involving students in the 2A class at the Jordán de Sajonia school, as the children exhibited disruptive behaviors, persistent conflicts, and difficulties in creating a safe, participatory, and inclusive environment. The objective of this research is to analyze, from a participatory perspective, the relationship between parenting styles and school coexistence in order to develop a training program for families, teachers, and students. The aim is to strengthen conflict resolution strategies and foster the development of socio-emotional skills. To achieve this objective, action research methodology was implemented, including interviews with families and teachers, and focus groups with students. Based on these instruments and methodology, several findings were identified, such as the democratic parenting style being the most appropriate, as it promotes empathy, autonomy, and peaceful peer relationships. In contrast, it was found that other parenting styles (authoritarian, neglectful, and permissive) negatively impact relationships with others, exhibiting a predominance of disruptive behaviors, poor emotional regulation, and weak coping strategies. These same findings indicate that when families apply positive parenting principles, children demonstrate better peer relationships, greater cooperation, and adequate emotional regulation. It is concluded that there is a need to train families, teachers, and students in various tools such as coping and mediation strategies, as this fosters a healthy school environment, promotes social skills, and strengthens co-responsibility between families and schools, thus ensuring safe, protective, and inclusive environments for children.

The purpose of this study is to examine the theoretical and scientific foundations of brain integration and mindful discipline as core elements of neuroeducation applied to preschool education, with an emphasis on their contribution to creating safe and emotionally balanced educational environments in the Latin American context. The methodology involved a systematic review of academic sources, including articles, books, and policy documents published between 2020 and 2025, identifying the main theories, practices, and strategies related to these neuroeducational approaches. The analysis revealed that the principles of brain integration and mindful discipline—such as emotional self-regulation, the establishment of affective routines, and co-regulation—are essential for fostering school environments that promote emotional well-being and affective security in children. Several gaps in practical implementation were identified, particularly in teacher training and institutional policies within Latin America. The findings underscore that these neuro-scientific foundations provide valuable tools for transforming pedagogical practices, fostering safe environments, and improving school coexistence in early childhood education. The study highlights the importance of integrating these approaches into educational policies and professional development programs to promote holistic and emotional development in young children, thereby establishing resilient and respectful school environments.

This research analyzes the implementation of sexual education in the Initial Cycle and Primary Education in public schools in Bogotá between 2014 and 2024. Using a qualitative approach and a documentary analysis method, the study examined public policies, national and district legal frameworks, and academic research addressing the topic from different perspectives. The theoretical framework was structured around five key categories: sexual education, childhood sexuality, sexual rights in childhood, conceptions of childhood, and child participation. Findings reveal significant normative progress that recognizes sexual education as a fundamental right and a cross-cutting axis within the school curriculum; however, persistent sociocultural resistances, myths, and taboos continue to hinder its effective implementation. Critical factors include insufficient teacher training, limited family involvement, and weak intersectoral coordination. The study concludes with recommendations to strengthen comprehensive sexual education from a human rights, gender equity, and curricular transversality approach, promoting shared responsibility among schools, families, and the State in the affective-sexual development of children.

This research proposal, titled Strengthening Communication Skills through the Implementation of Phonological Awareness as a Didactic Strategy in Preschool Education, has as its main objective the enhancement of communication skills through the implementation of phonological awareness as a didactic strategy in preschool, promoting the development of oral language and preparing the path toward literacy. The research was developed under a qualitative action research (A-R) approach, which allowed observation, reflection, and educational intervention. Additionally, various instruments were applied, such as an initial diagnostic assessment for students, surveys for parents, interviews with teachers and school administrators, and recreational workshops with students. These procedures facilitated the collection and analysis of information regarding the level of communicative development, family support, and the pedagogical strategies used in the classroom. The results revealed weaknesses in pronunciation, verbal fluency, and sound segmentation, but they also demonstrated significant progress after the implementation of phonological workshops. Likewise, the interest of parents and teachers in strengthening communication through innovative methodologies was confirmed. As a final outcome, a comprehensive pedagogical framework was designed, which integrates school, family, and play, promoting active and meaningful learning in accordance with the needs of the educational context, effectively contributing to the strengthening of oral language and phonological awareness in preschool education.
Propuesta pedagógica, prácticas pedagógicas docentes, mediadas por el juego, para el desarrollo de la comprensión lectora en la infancia

This proposal presents a reorganization of reading comprehension classes for second and third grades at the Clemente Naranjo Educational Institution, placing play at the center of the learning process. Reading is conceived as more than the simple decoding of words; it involves understanding, analyzing, and, above all, enjoying the reading experience. However, it is acknowledged that many students face various difficulties: motivation often fluctuates, some educational methods prove to be static, and at times the school context does not encourage children’s natural curiosity. For this reason, the proposal suggests incorporating games as a teaching strategy in order to energize classes, stimulate participation, and strengthen reading comprehension. Through playful activities, the aim is to motivate students, clarify ideas, and create a more active and participatory learning environment. Play not only enriches the educational experience but also encourages students’ enthusiastic involvement in their own learning process. Likewise, it promotes collaboration and interaction among peers, strengthening a sense of community and mutual support—key aspects of their social and emotional development.

This project addresses the difficulties of verbal expression presented by some early childhood students of the Colegio Parroquial Bilingüe Santa Isabel de Hungría, located in the city of Bogotá. These difficulties directly affect their communication, socialization and understanding of the environment, which generates feelings of frustration and low self-esteem in the children. In addition, it is observed that teachers lack adequate tools to identify and manage these diagnoses. This lack limits the implementation of effective and personalized didactic strategies, necessary to support the linguistic development of students. The research proposal focuses on the implementation of a training program for teachers. This program aims to provide teachers with specialized knowledge and practical resources to identify students with specific language needs at an early stage. Subsequently, teachers will apply in the classroom innovative strategies and play activities designed to strengthen children's communicative development. These activities favor the development of skills such as oral comprehension, verbal fluency, pronunciation and social interaction. The combination of teacher training and early attention in the classroom will allow for a systemic and coherent approach. Teachers will be better prepared to identify and accompany students, applying appropriate didactic strategies that facilitate the understanding of academic activities. This will help prevent difficulties in basic subjects such as reading, writing and mathematics, improve social interaction and raise academic performance. In the medium and long term, children are expected to overcome communication barriers, build healthy self-esteem and develop positive school performance.

This study addresses the transformation of basic mathematics teaching, specifically addition, in the context of the Los Morales Educational Institution in Tierralta, Córdoba. The central problem identified was a cognitive paradox in second-grade students: while the students possessed a solid conceptual understanding of the properties of addition, a critical gap and procedural difficulties were identified in the application of the regrouping algorithm. This difficulty limited the full development of their Logical-Mathematical Thinking (LMT). The project was guided by three specific objectives: 1) To characterize the progress of addition within the framework of LMT; 2) To design and implement a pedagogical proposal mediated by the STEM approach and Problem-Based Learning (PBL); and 3) To evaluate the relevance of this methodology for the development of addition. The methodology was framed within a qualitative approach, adopting an action research design. Diagnostic and evaluation instruments (initial and final tests) and field notes were used. The study population consisted of the second-grade students of the institution. The main results validate the STEM-PBL synergy as a high-impact didactic mediator. The initial diagnosis revealed a gap in regrouping; however, after the implementation of six sessions based on PBL (contextualization) and STEM (use of Cuisenaire rods and simulators to solidify the abstraction of base 10), the post-test demonstrated a significant improvement in the deficit. The accuracy in applying addition in Science and Technology contexts exceeded 90%, confirming knowledge transfer. In conclusion, it was established that the pedagogical proposal proved to be highly relevant. Not only did it improve performance in addition with regrouping, but it also generated a triple transformation: cognitive (algorithmic mastery), didactic (validation of the use of STEM to make abstraction concrete), and attitudinal (reduction of math anxiety, increased argumentation, and collaboration). The study recommends the adoption of the STEM-PBL model for teaching abstract mathematical content in primary education.

The purpose of this research is to understand the narratives constructed by early childhood teachers in Bogotá, Colombia regarding socioemotional competencies within their pedagogical practice, with the aim of making their voices visible and empowering them as the basis for developing a guidance logbook that promotes their emotional well-being. The project is grounded in data reported by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of National Education (MEN), and the OMS, which reveal a concerning panorama of teachers’ mental health, marked by the presence of disorders such as depression, anxiety, high levels of occupational stress, and emotional exhaustion or burnout. Methodologically, a qualitative approach with a narrative design was adopted. The analysis of the information was carried out from a thematic–narrative perspective, supported by a co-occurrence array that enabled the interpretation of teachers’ experiences, emotions, feelings, and everyday challenges. From this process emerged an illustrated logbook containing 15 activities based on the pentagonal model of Bisquerra & Pérez (2007). Accompanied by a series of practical exercises, such as writing, drawing, and photography, the logbook invites teachers to reflect, reconnect, and care for their emotions inside and outside the classroom, as well as to treasure the memories that give meaning to the profession, as fundamental aspects for strengthening well-being.

This qualitative research is framed within Action Research, with the purpose of analyzing the causes of the limited active participation of boys and girls of the 6th transition grade of the Departmental Educational Institution February 23 of the municipality of Fundación, in order to design a didactic strategy based on play-based learning that favors their involvement in school activities. Through participant observation and semi-structured interview with the head teacher of the grade in question, it was revealed that the relevant difficulties that students go through, associated with the difficulty of actively participating, are disinterest, passivity and low motivation in several boys and girls, this has a decisive impact on the improvement and transformation of current pedagogical practices, which do not adequately respond to their interests, characteristics, rhythms and learning styles. Based on these findings, a teaching proposal was designed that integrates play as a central axis to promote meaningful, fun, and participatory educational experiences. Although the strategy could not be implemented due to time constraints, the analysis process allowed us to understand the group's situation and guide the design toward a methodology that seeks to foster active student participation consistently in the classroom
Incidencias de las emociones en el desarrollo del aprendizaje de los niños de grado quinto.
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-24) Osorio Alfonso, Lina Julieth; Muñoz Rodriguez, Yeimy Paola; Martelo Blanco, Julieta Elvira; Pedraza Hernández, Yili Darley; Universidad Santo Tomas
This research analyzes the influence of emotions on learning processes and the transition to secondary education for fifth-grade students at the El Arenoso Rural Educational Institution, La Pradera campus, in San Vicente del Caguán. The study employed a qualitative approach, using techniques such as interviews, diagnostic questionnaires, participant observation, and focus groups, which allowed for an understanding of the students' predominant emotions and their impact on school dynamics. The theoretical framework was organized into four main categories: emotions and learning, emotional expression, school coexistence, and transition to high school. These categories guided both the collection and analysis of information and facilitated the identification of emotional needs related to motivation, self-regulation, social interaction, and adaptation to new educational environments. The results showed that emotions directly influence attention, participation, and school behavior. Based on these findings, pedagogical strategies grounded in emotional intelligence were designed, including emotional recognition workshops, dialogue circles, self-regulation activities, and group interaction activities. These strategies were subsequently shared with teachers and families to assess their relevance and applicability in the rural context.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the impact of child malnutrition on school performance in Colombia, based on a systematic review of the scientific literature published between 2000 and 2024. The methodological design is framed within a qualitative approach and a documentary research design. Review matrices were used for the extraction and organization of data from a corpus of 39 academic works and 26 technical reports and institutional bulletins, followed by an inductive content analysis. The results show that malnutrition is a manifestation of structural socioeconomic, territorial, and ethnic inequities, which give rise to inadequate dietary practices. It was found that key interventions such as the School Feeding Program face effectiveness challenges due to shortcomings in nutritional quality and a lack of cultural appropriateness. The findings confirmed that malnutrition, whether due to deficit or excess, affects cognitive development by deteriorating executive functions such as attention and memory, which are prerequisites for learning. It is concluded that malnutrition operates as a direct biological and structural barrier to educational potential. Current strategies are insufficient when implemented in isolation, and the solution requires coordinated state action that moves beyond welfare-oriented approaches and focuses on structural equity. Accordingly, recommendations are proposed for educational institutions, including teacher training in neurodevelopment and nutrition, and the implementation of food education workshops aimed at families.

This thesis, based on the systematization of experiences, aims to critically analyze the pedagogical articulation of teaching practices to promote harmonious transitions in children aged 5 to 7 at the Ciudadela Educative del Magdalena Medio Institution in Barrancabermeja, and to propose a guiding document that incorporates the perspectives of educational stakeholders and contributes to the consolidation of an institutional policy on educational transitions in early childhood. The problem arises from the difficulties observed in these processes, reflected in demotivation, low performance, grade repetition, and the risk of dropout, all exacerbated after the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the need to rethink teaching practices, articulate them, and strengthen the school-family bond as a strategy for support and child well-being became evident. The research is framed within a qualitative approach, based on the systematization of experiences, conceived as a critical and reflective process that allowed for understanding and reconstructing practices based on lived experience. The study involved a purposive sample of teachers from kindergarten, first, and second grades, using timelines, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups. The findings demonstrate that pedagogical articulation fosters the redefinition of teaching practices, collaborative work, and the contextualization of learning. It also promotes the active participation of families and institutional strengthening through an operational pathway organized in three phases, which is consolidated as an educational policy that can be replicated in other contexts.

The research study “Pedagogical Strategies to Promote the Peace Chair at the Rural School Venceremos of the Educational Institution Palo Blanco, Municipality of Zapatoca” proposed as its central thesis that the Peace Chair, when implemented in a contextualized and experiential manner, constitutes a fundamental pedagogical tool for strengthening school coexistence in rural settings. The general objective was to analyze how pedagogical strategies can contribute to strengthening the implementation of the Peace Chair at the Rural School Venceremos of the Educational Institution Palo Blanco, in the municipality of Zapatoca. Methodologically, the study adopted a qualitative approach under the action-research method, involving semi-structured interviews, observations, and pedagogical workshops carried out with the students and teacher of the Venceremos campus. The main findings show that training in socio-emotional skills, teacher mediation, and cooperative work strengthen empathy, respect, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts, generating protective environments that improve and promote school coexistence. The study concludes that peace education, more than a standalone subject, should be consolidated as a transversal axis of the curriculum and as a pathway to transform school culture from early childhood.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-11) Ramos Socha, Ronald Fernando; Camargo Tambo, Derly Fabiola; Guzmán Escobar, Leidy Yuri; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001290088; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001502579; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002270745; https://orcid.org/0009-0008-7615-4125; https://orcid.org/0009-0008-7845-7234
The purpose of this research report is to analyze the construction of citizenship in early childhood in Colombia, between 2015 and 2025, using for this qualitative research, the documentary analysis method that contributes to identify the relevant information within the documents found, addressing scientific articles, master's and doctoral theses, research in socio-educational contexts, and book chapters; in databases such as Google Scholar, Publish or perish, CRAI and repositories of the National, National Pedagogical, District, and Technological University of Pereira. From this, it is possible to identify and characterize important aspects such as: citizenship training, participation, rights and pedagogical practices which are necessary to form political subjects; therefore, it is possible to analyze the conceptualizations of some authors between the years mentioned and thus be able to establish some recommendations. The findings of the study have been initially recorded in a documentary analysis matrix, with subsequent concretion in coding and triangulation matrices, responding to the main categories: construction of citizenship, early childhood and school context, from which a series of emerging categories are related. Among the results obtained, the existence of some public policies in terms of citizenship training in early childhood and various efforts by educational and social agents to advance programs is noted, but there is still a lack of articulation with the curricular guidelines, as well as the commitment of the entire educational community.

This study presents the results of an action research project focused on the influence of families on identity development during childhood, targeting third-grade students at an educational institution in Calarcá, Quindío, Colombia. The research is based on a theoretical framework that integrates psychological and sociocultural perspectives from authors such as Muñoz (2005), Catarí (2022), and Martínez Cerdá (2021), among others. The methodology includes qualitative data collection aimed at understanding family dynamics and designing a pedagogical strategy for parents and tutors to strengthen children's identity. It also aims at enhancing the overall children´s well-being by considering the realities of their social and cultural contexts. The findings of this research will help identify both beneficial and harmful patterns in childhood development that influence the construction of identity. Additionally, the study will offer a practical guide for parents and caregivers to support the harmonious and healthy development of children. Beyond exploring the structures and dynamics that impact a child’s identity, this research seeks to engage all significant subjects in childhood development. It emphasizes the fundamental role of the school as the most significant context for social interaction after home. Additionally, it proposes an educational strategy to empower families, particularly parents and caregivers in strengthening children's identity development.
