Fortalezco mi concentración y atención a través del juego

Abstract

This qualitative action research project emerged from the research group “Tejer Entre Nos Otros” and aimed to design and implement a pedagogical booklet of games to improve sustained attention and concentration processes in twenty children aged 4 to 5 from the Arcoíris de la Infancia CDI in Tunja. The initial problem revealed that the children experienced significant difficulties in maintaining attention during pedagogical activities for more than ten minutes, a situation attributed to factors such as early exposure to screens and a lack of meaningful communicative interactions. Through a methodology that combined direct observation, surveys administered to educational agents, and the implementation of ten playful workshops, and grounded in the theoretical framework of Sevilla (2013), Ardila (2007), and Piaget (1952), the study demonstrated that the use of structured playful strategies enhances the ability to focus and sustain attention. The results indicate that the children not only achieved greater cognitive self-regulation and a more positive disposition toward learning, but also that the booklet was consolidated as a replicable didactic resource that strengthens pedagogical practices in vulnerable contexts.
