Técnicas en el agarre del lápiz y el desarrollo de la preescritura en los niños de preparatoria

Abstract

The present study is called "Pencil grasping techniques and the development of prewriting in high school children", with the objective of determining the relationship between pencil grasping techniques and the development of prewriting in high school children. The problem of this research was that the children had difficulties when grasping the pencil and at the same time did not allow them to perform well in the pre-writing strokes appropriate to their age. For this reason, in some degrees of theses, studies were found on the variables of the present work, such as independent (pencil grip) and dependent (prewriting), which led to the writing of this research. The methodology applied was qualitative, with a descriptive design of non-experimental and correlational nature, having as a population and sample three teachers and twenty high school children, to whom the observation and interview technique was applied with the following research instruments: an estimation scale (children) and a questionnaire with open-ended questions (teachers). The results of the application of the instruments revealed the difficulty in grasping the pencil at the time of executing the proposed activities, in order to solve the problem found, it was decided to design a didactic guide with pressor and graphomotor activities, this being the integrating proposal. It is concluded that the application of the aforementioned guide is relevant to strengthening the child's digital grip, thus allowing him/her to have an adequate control in the hand movements and improve the grip of the pencil, besides those activities will be used by the teachers in the educational praxis. It was possible to verify the hypothesis proposed, resulting in the fact that there is a relationship between pencil grip techniques and the development of pre-writing because both are strengthened according to how the child's neuromuscular system evolves.
