Desarrollo de la preescritura en los niños zurdos del niel de preparatoria

Abstract

The present project is titled "Development of Prewriting in Left-Handed Children in Pre-kindergarten". The general objective is to analyze the prewriting development theory, in left-handed children of pre-kindergarten, through methodological strategies at the Sulima García Valarezo School in the Machala City. The applied methodology is at a quantitative level since it allows the collection and analysis of the phenomenon data. On the other hand, the research applied a descriptive design that details the object of study of the variables also assumes a correlational character because it allows declaring the importance of the independent and dependent variables. According to the depth of the investigation, a non-experimental character is evidenced since the variables are not manipulated. Finally, the purposeful design allows the implementation of several strategies that help to have a positive result for the phenomenon studied. The direct observation technique made it possible to analyze and obtain the results. The population was composed of 3 teachers from parallels A, B and C and 90 children from the initial level. It applied a selective sample to all the educators and 30% of the infants in the three parallels. Therefore, as a structured interview technique, a questionnaire of closed questions was applied to the pre-kindergarten teachers of the institution, it applied for infants the observation technique, the Harris laterality test allowed to identify the possible lateralities of the students. As a result, it found that teachers do not have didactic strategies that help them develop laterality in infants. In addition, it detected five children with the dominant left-handed side and shortcomings in the fine and gross motor areas. As a contribution to the research, it developed a series of methodological strategies for teachers in order to optimize the development process of prewriting in left-handed children.
