La música infantil y la práctica de hábitos de convivencia en educación inicial, niños de 4 a 5 años

Abstract

This research focused on analyzing how children's music contributes to the development of coexistence habits in 4 to 5-year-old children at an educational institution in Machala. This topic emerged from a problem identified during pre-professional internships. The main objective of the study was to describe the impact of children's music on promoting coexistence habits among children in the second year of early childhood education. The methodology used for the development of the project was qualitative, with a non-experimental and descriptive design. Findings were obtained through the application of an observation checklist to 22 students and surveys administered to 2 teachers at the institution under study. The results indicated that there are various types of conflicting and disruptive behaviors in the studied group, a situation that is not adequately addressed by the teachers due to their lack of knowledge about using musical methods as tools to promote coexistence. This lack of knowledge results from not knowing how to apply these methods in the classroom. In response, the project proposes implementing a training workshop for teachers, focused on using children's music as a strategy to develop and enhance coexistence habits among the children. This approach aims to provide teachers with the necessary tools to integrate music into their educational practices, thereby fostering a more harmonious and effective classroom environment.
