Manifestaciones de diversidad cultural de niños y niñas migrantes del nivel exploradores del centro de desarrollo Infantil Villa Cielo Montería

Abstract

The project entitled “Cultural Diversity of Migrant Children in the Explorers Level at CDI Villa Cielo in Montería” aimed to implement a digital booklet containing pedagogical strategies to foster cultural diversity expressions among four-year-old children. The project emerged from the identified need to strengthen coexistence and the recognition of cultural differences in a context where children from diverse backgrounds interact. The main categories guiding the study were cultural diversity, inclusion, coexistence, and the pedagogical use of digital technologies. Methodologically, the study was conducted under a qualitative approach based on pedagogical action research and was organized into three phases: planning, implementation, and evaluation. During the planning phase, activities were designed based on the theoretical contributions of Vygotsky and Piaget. In the implementation phase, the digital booklet was applied with children at the Explorers level through playful and interactive learning experiences. Finally, during the evaluation phase, achievements, challenges, and learning outcomes were analyzed through observation, anecdotal records, and teacher feedback. The main findings revealed significant improvements in empathy, participation, and respect for cultural differences, as well as greater teacher appropriation of digital resources. It is concluded that the digital booklet constitutes an innovative and relevant contribution to promoting intercultural education in early childhood, strengthening both the comprehensive development of children and inclusive pedagogical practices within CDI Villa Cielo.
