Desarrollo grafomotor y su relación con la modalidad virtual en niños de preparatoria

Abstract

The present degree project is the result of a quantitative research through the direct observation made to the high school children of the Rotary Club Machala Moderno Educational Unit, where the need to develop graphomotor skills was evidenced, for this reason it was considered important the implementation of a didactic guide of interactive activities post pandemic, as a resource to reinforce and consolidate fine motor skills, grip, precision, manual visual coordination, essential aspects for spelling. Its purpose is to determine the relationship of graphomotor development and virtual modality through the analysis of the constructivist model in high school children of an educational institution in the city of Machala. The research design used is non-experimental of correlational scope of relationship and cross-section. The technique used was non-participatory observation and semi-structured interview, in order to collect data and check the existing problem of the variables; graphomotor development and virtual modality. In this way, two observation guides and a questionnaire were designed, which were applied to teachers and a group of children as a sample of the sublevel, obtaining as a result the little graphomotor development, since this modality of study is not suitable for this age, taking into account that infants learn from the interaction and manipulation of their environment, skills that could not be developed by virtuality. Finally, it was concluded that infants acquire skills and abilities when they are in direct contact with the teacher and their academic peers, since graphomotor development is to prepare the infant for pre-writing through activities that allow them to enhance grip, precision, manual oculus coordination, laterality, among others, using conventional and unconventional materials in their learning process.
