Ausencia del juego en el desarrollo de destrezas en educación inicial en la modalidad virtual

Abstract

The work is framed in quantitative research, with a non-experimental design and a descriptive-correlational method its variables are games and children's skills. The main theme is the absence of the game in the skills development in initial education and virtual modality. The research was developed in the Educational Institutions "Zulima Vaca Rivera" and "15 de Octubre", located in the city of Pasaje, in which the relationship between the absence of games and the development of skills in initial education in the virtual modality is determined. For the analysis of the study, research instruments were applied to teachers and students, such as the structured interview and non-participatory observation. The sample was two classes from the initial level, 25 students, and two teachers from the educational institution, who were connected to virtual classes. The study could not be applied to a larger universe due to the modality due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Likewise, it was based on the characteristics of the game, the same as the teacher should take as one of the most feasible tools within their educational practices, achieving significant learning in infants. It was possible to apply the methodological proposal based on the importance of the game, so teachers obtain knowledge about the great utility that games have in the learning process and labor training of the educators. And in this way, teachers can apply games in the classes and obtain good results in the future teaching-learning process of infants. It must be taken into account that the game plays a very important role in the life of the infant since this recreational activity is stimulated and allows children to acquire development in the motor, cognitive, sensory, and communicative areas. In addition, play is considered as an efficient medium for children because it has educational purposes, contributing to creative abilities, that is, when a child takes an object and plays, he is creating, making his imagination fly, in such a way that you should not limit the infant in this playful activity, since children grow through play. Boys and girls learn to develop their socialization skills through interaction and recreational activity with their peers and the environment.
