Estrategia didáctica desde la literatura infantil para el desarrollo de la dimensión espiritual de los niños y niñas de jardín de la Institución Educativa “Centro Integral el Mundo de los niños” de Tunja.

Abstract

The following is a presentation of the pedagogical research work carried out on the development of the spiritual dimension in kindergarten children at the "Centro integral El mundo de los niños" in the city of Tunja, based on the teachings and life of Jesus, through the implementation of the pedagogical strategy "Getting to know Jesus Christ", which is based on the use of children's literature. It establishes the importance of the spiritual dimension in the integral development of children and how this is built from moral values, the family as a source of love and the first context of socialisation, in an experiential way and respecting the different religious creeds professed by the families. For the design and implementation of the classroom project "Knowing Jesus Christ", the Ministry of National Education's Early Childhood Education Policy was taken into account, which establishes the need to promote the development of all the dimensions of the human being in order to guarantee an integral education. In the context in which the research was carried out, it became evident that teaching practices were aimed at developing and strengthening mainly the cognitive dimension, so the pedagogical strategy focused on responding to the need to integrate all the other dimensions, in this particular case, the spiritual dimension, into education.
