Guía de estrategias lúdicas y técnicas grafo plásticas en el desarrollo del esquema corporal en niños de nivel inicial de la Unidad Educativa Bilingüe Boston período 2023–2024.

Abstract

This thesis, conducted during the 2023-2024 period, focuses on the design and implementation of an innovative guide aimed at enhancing the development of body schema in preschool children. The research was carried out at the Bilingual Educational Unit Boston, where playful strategies and graph-plastic techniques were explored as pedagogical tools to enrich the understanding and appreciation of the children's own bodies during their formative years. The proposed guide integrates a creative approach that employs various techniques, ranging from body stamping activities to the creation of living sculptures. The goal is to promote artistic expression, body awareness, and the development of fine motor skills, recognizing the importance of playfulness in the educational process. Through a methodology involving the practical application of the proposed strategies, qualitative and quantitative data were collected to assess the impact of these interventions on the development of the children's body schema. Surveys, observations, and interviews with teachers and administrators were employed for data triangulation, validating the effectiveness of the proposed strategies. The guide not only aims at the acquisition of anatomical knowledge but also seeks to strengthen the emotional and sensory connection of children with their own bodies. This research contributes to the educational field by providing a practical and contextualized guide that can be implemented in similar settings, focusing on enriching the overall development of preschool children. It is expected that these findings will inspire future research and pedagogical practices centered on art and play as fundamental tools in the early childhood educational process.
