Falta de autonomía al realizar actividades grafo-plásticas durante las clases virtuales con niños de preparatoria

Abstract

The current work is aimed at contributing to the educational community, to eliminate the problem that the pandemic has caused and thus overcome the lack of autonomy when carrying out graph-plastic activities, during virtual classes, with high school children. The research was carried out at Santa María school, located in the city of Machala. This study was focused on virtual classes because it was carried out within 2000 and 2001 school period, which is still the case due to the situation that we still face,the lack of autonomy of high school children was analyzed, when developing skills in plastic graph techniques during these classes. The title of the project is "Lack of autonomy when carrying out graph-plastic activities during virtual classes with high school children" where the following objective was raised: "Determine the relationship that exists between the lack of autonomy when carrying out graph-plastic activities, during virtual classes, with high school children. For this to be carried out, the quasi-experimental correlational descriptive design was chosen, where three research instruments were applied: the non-participatory observation guide, it was made to twenty-seven children, an unstructured interview was also carried out with twenty-seven parents and another one was applied to five teachers of the aforementioned institution. It should be emphasized that the sample applied is not related to the quantitative design, since we are in a time of pandemic, where virtual classes were used, with this new method of study, there was school desertion, therefore, the number of students and teachers was reduced. The outcome obtained in the project confirmed the hypothesis raised at the beginning, because it was evidenced that a large majority of the students did not show autonomy in carrying out the graph-plastic activities. To help remedying this situation, a digital brochure was proposed for teachers that contains playful activities, so that children can develop their autonomy and thus manage to do their activities on their own. To conclude with the study, the relationship that exists between the lack of autonomy when carrying out graph-plastic activities, during virtual classes, with high school children, where pre-professional practices, as well as scientific texts, were determinant to link the two issues. Likely these ones collaborated to achieve the objective that was set. With the completion of the current study, it was noted that with virtuality there are few playful games in the dynamics of online classes.
