Estrategias lúdicas para fortalecer la motricidad gruesa encauzada en el equilibrio con niños de preparatoria de la Escuela “Juan Montalvo”

Abstract

The research work was based on playful strategies to strengthen gross motor skills focused on balance with high school children from the Juan Montalvo school. The main objective was to identify the playful strategies that are applied to strengthen these motor skills with a specific focus on balance. The specific objectives included the identification and analysis of the playful strategies that teachers should know to enhance gross motor skills focused on balance, as well as the development of a methodological guide to guide teachers. To collect the information, a qualitative approach was adopted with a descriptive methodology that allowed to diagnose the situation at the Juan Montalvo school regarding the strengthening of gross motor skills in relation to balance. The methods used in the research included the analytical-synthetic and auxiliary methods such as the bibliographic, which provided relevant information to achieve the objectives of the research and develop an appropriate proposal for the educational institution. The sample consisted of all the high school teachers of the establishment, and the data collection instruments were direct observation and interviews, prepared based on predefined dimensions and indicators. The results of the interviews revealed deficiencies and lack of knowledge on the subject, which led to the creation of a proposal aimed at improving gross motor skills and balance in students through the implementation of recreational games in the Physical Education subject. The integrative proposal was structured in four main phases to develop a methodological guide, considering the logistical resources and evaluating dimensions such as technical, economic, social and environmental. This demonstrates the ability to achieve the objectives of the proposal, ensuring the viability of the materials and strategies to be implemented in the research work.
