Uso de dispositivos alternativos tecnológicos para propiciar el desarrollo de habilidades espacio temporales, que favorezcan los procesos cognitivos en niños/as de educación inicial

Abstract

This project analyzes the importance of the first years of life of the infant, taking into account the movement because through this develops certain motor skills, such as spatio-temporal that are not notions with which the child is born, but are built through the structuring of his corporality and the relationships of his body with the environment that surrounds him and with the other subjects, which allow him to fertilize the terrain where the cognitive processes that will develop thought will be installed. These notions are difficult concepts to teach and learn, so it is understood that if new tools are incorporated to increase the structuring capacity and interiorization of these notions, their acquisition will be developed more easily. The project uses the case study methodology with the following phases: characterization of skills in children; analysis of potentialities; selection of the tool for technological mediation, implementation of activities for the development of spatio-temporal skills in children, and, finally, measurement and evaluation of the impact of mediation actions in the development of skills. The observation was developed with the application of 16 work sessions and a series of activities implemented with a group of children between the ages of 4 and 6, in order to establish the differences between the before and after the application.
