Abstract

The present integrative project started from the direct observation carried out in the classrooms of sublevel II, of the Augusta Mora de Franco and Sulima García educational institutions in the City of Machala; through pre-professional practices, the need to develop attention in infants was evidenced, for this reason, the use of puppet theater as a resource to improve the teaching-learning process was considered important. For this reason, the objective was to determine the relationship between the Puppet Theater and the development of attention in infants from 3 to 5 years old; This investigative process is quantitative with a correlational scope of non-experimental relationship, for which two variables were defined: puppet theater and development of attention, in this way three instruments were designed, an interview for teachers and two guides of observation that were applied to two teachers and 39 children of sublevel II, showing as a result that there is a link between both variables, since the students of the educators who used the puppet theater within their classes, had a higher level of attention of skills and abilities. Through statistical analysis, it was concluded that attention in infants is essential for the learning process, so it can be argued that by using the puppet theater, the infant is given a resource linked to his age and need, specialists affirm that This striking and magical art favors the development of attention in infants, in addition, the findings with scientific literature highlight that the attention time of children in sublevel 2 fluctuates between 3 to 10 minutes, a reason for others to consider that teachers should build focus of attention to optimize learning.
