El cuento infantil en el desarrollo de valores morales en niños de 5 a 6 años, Machala 2024

Abstract

The present research project, entitled Children's stories in the development of moral values in children from 5 to 6 years old, It arises because the lack of moral values was confirmed in an educational center in the city of Machala. Therefore, it will be carried out with the objective of analyzing children's stories in the development of moral values in children from 5 to 6 years old. In order to reach this goal, a quantitative type of research was used, with a non-experimental design and a descriptive approach. In addition, a questionnaire with closed questions was applied to 3 teachers and a checklist was applied to 30 children. In the results provided by these instruments, a negative interaction in the classroom was identified, due to the lack of values, specifically those such as respect, solidarity, empathy and honesty. This has been observed by the authors of the research work and corroborated by the teachers of the institution. In search of a solution to the above, a pedagogical notebook of children's stories was elaborated for the practice of moral values, since it is concluded that children's stories have a moral charge that results in the teaching of values, therefore, it becomes a useful pedagogical resource for the teacher so that the child imitates those positive actions of the characters in the stories. Therefore, it is essential that when using them, it is taken into account those that contain superheroes, fairies, princesses, being characters that children like. All the above mentioned makes possible a harmonious coexistence in any environment where the child develops, showing the presence of moral values in their behavior.
