Las actividades recreativas en el desarrollo de la psicomotricidad de los estudiantes de educación básica Escuela Sara Serrano

Abstract

Recreational activities are associated with the intellectual and educational factor. Research has shown that children learn much more in relaxed, pressure-free environments, are fundamental to intellectual development, provide in themselves, a form of learning, through their own experiences and the relationship of the person with the exterior. Piaget says that "the game constitutes the initial form of the capacities and reinforces the development of the same ones". The situations of play and direct experiences help the child to a better understanding of the world around him and thus discover the notions that will favor the future learning, in these experiences of concrete type, the child exercises his senses, because it has opportunity to observe, manipulate, smell, etc. According to the theory of rest or recreation, its principal representative is Stheinthal, it maintains that the change of activity or occupation provides the possibility to recreate the fatigued parts of the nervous system, while other parts come into activity. This criterion established the recesses in the schools, in the psychological level we accept that the change of activity balances a little the energies spent in the educating.
