Abstract

The present research work entitled “The Game Work Methodology and Meaningful Learning of sublevel II, Machala, 2023”, arises from the need to apply new learning that motivates children to learn through playing, which consists of organizing different spaces or learning environments. learning called corners, is a methodology that allows us to better address the diversity of the classroom and enhance the child's skills. In the investigative process, it was carried out through bibliographic research and responds to a socio-critical paradigm with a research method, the four phases being the play and the opportunities to actively participate in the development of learning, reinforcing the creative abilities of the student and allowing early education children to actively relate with various materials and topics that favors the capacity for inquiry and problem solving, this allows Children learn to work as a team, to respect the rules of coexistence, to be autonomous and independent, to socialize with each other. The general objective is to determine the importance of the game-work methodology to develop meaningful learning in children in early education. To achieve this goal, quantitative research was used, with a correlational scope and non-experimental design, that is, without manipulation of variables, collecting statistical data through observation and interview techniques, using as instruments: a questionnaire of questions. open and two non-participatory observation guides, which were applied in a sample of 2 teachers and 40 children of initial sublevel II, from the Educational Center ”Dr. “Camilo Gallegos Domínguez”. After the application of the instruments, the main finding was the lack of updating on the play-work methodology in the educational field during the development of the classes, therefore, by proposing learning based mainly on neuroscience, it constitutes a curricular innovation. transcendental to strengthen meaningful learning in infants. And it is better if they do it through play, since this methodology is in the curriculum and is supported by renowned pedagogues such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Ausubel, among others; achieving through this a development of significant learning, which also considers the following factors: motivation, the environments or corners, the game, and the teacher, by uniting these components considering the children's prior knowledge, significant learning will be achieved.
