ABSTRACT: This study examines the factors influencing the acquisition of French as a second language among young learners in a Guinean multilingual context, focusing on specific preschool settings, the Community Education Center (CEC) and the Petite Académie kindergarten. Through a multidimensional analysis that incorporates communicative, linguistic, and sociolinguistic/pragmatic dimensions, as well as language choices in teaching, this article seeks to understand how the multilingual environment and pedagogical practices impact French learning. The central hypothesis suggests that linguistic acquisition is facilitated by teaching methods that promote active immersion, multilingual communication, and the integration of learners' cultural and social contexts. The findings confirm the importance of sociocultural interactions, linguistic diversity, and thoughtful pedagogical practices for the linguistic development of children. This research highlights the need for inclusive educational approaches that value multilingualism and prepare young learners to navigate an interconnected world, offering essential insights for educational policies and teaching strategies in Guinea and beyond. RÉSUMÉ : Cette étude examine les facteurs influençant l'acquisition du français comme langue seconde chez les jeunes apprenants dans un contexte multilingue guinéen, en se concentrant sur des établissements préscolaires spécifiques, le Centre d'Éducation Communautaire (CEC) et l'école maternelle la Petite Académie. À travers une analyse multidimensionnelle, intégrant les dimensions communicatives, linguistiques, et sociolinguistiques/pragmatiques, ainsi que les choix linguistiques dans l'enseignement, cet article cherche à comprendre comment l'environnement multilingue et les pratiques pédagogiques impactent l'apprentissage du français. L'hypothèse centrale suggère que l'acquisition linguistique est facilitée par des méthodes d'enseignement qui favorisent une immersion active, une communication multilingue, et l'intégration des contextes culturels et sociaux des apprenants. Les résultats confirment l'importance des interactions socioculturelles, de la diversité linguistique et des pratiques pédagogiques réfléchies pour le développement linguistique des enfants. Cette recherche met en évidence la nécessité d'approches éducatives inclusives qui valorisent le multilinguisme et préparent les jeunes apprenants à naviguer dans un monde interconnecté, offrant des perspectives essentielles pour les politiques éducatives et les stratégies d'enseignement en Guinée et au-delà.

Objectives of the research: The aim of this study was to gather information about preschool teachers’ expectations and attitudes toward outdoor education in the context of shaping and improving the quality of education. The study sought to collect material that would address the following research questions: What does outdoor education mean to preschool teachers? How do preschool teachers implement outdoor activities? What are the challenges of outdoor education according to the surveyed teachers? Research methods: The main research method used was a focus interview. A brief description of the context of the issue: Human beings are connected to nature, we are part of it, and we live and function thanks to it. From early childhood, the natural environment is the closest and most natural for humans, and thanks to our cognitive needs and childlike perceptiveness, we immerse ourselves in the world of nature spontaneously and with great interest. Preschool teachers should see meeting children’s need for curiosity and discovery of new knowledge as a challenge, and prioritize activities in this area. Furthermore, the natural environment, due to its resources, can be perceived as a workshop that teaches knowledge about the world, allows for developing children’s vocabulary and shaping new concepts. It also teaches humility, patience and understanding. The environment naturally enhances the activity of children who feel comfortable in nature. Research findings: The importance of outdoor education in children’s development has been discussed for years. Unfortunately, as the results of the survey suggest, this does not convince teachers to move part of the educational process outdoors. Teachers list certain limitations and shortcomings as factors that prevent the implementation of this approach in Polish preschool institutions. Conclusions and recommendations: The teachers participating in the focus groups recognize that the implementation of outdoor education activities in kindergartens is necessary, if not indispensable. They see outdoor education primarily as an opportunity for experience-based learning and connecting with nature. The teachers are sufficiently motivated to offer outdoor activities so that children can play and learn simultaneously. However, many see significant obstacles in the education system when planning outdoor learning experiences for their students. To make outdoor education more sustainable and integrated into preschool practices, it would be necessary to remove these barriers and provide support at all levels of the education system and society.

The objective of this paper was to analyze the teaching practice of a preschool teacher in a private school in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, based on the dimensions of effective and represented work. From the analysis of the instructions and the simple self-confrontation, axes of analysis were identified that allowed an approach to the main challenges that the teacher faced with the online education developed during the pandemic by covid-19. The results of the work placed at the center of the discussion the teacher’s challenges and concerns about the ways of teaching online literacy, the relationships with the students’ families when working from home, and the interaction with technology in the virtual classroom. Taken together, the findings broaden the picture of teaching practices during social distancing and contribute to the empirical knowledge of this object of study as a result of the impact generated by the pandemic.

Precise assessment of school readiness is critical because it has practical and theoretical implications for children’s school and life success. However, school readiness assessment mainly relies on teacher reports and a few direct evaluations requiring a trained examiner. Studies indicate that 80% of games and apps target preschool children and education, suggesting that apps are familiar and fun for this age group. Previous reviews have focused on these apps’ training capability but not on their assessment of school readiness. This Scoping review examines 31 studies published from 2011-2019. The Evidence Centred Design (ECD) framework was used to evaluate game-based assessment (GBA) suitability to assess school readiness domains. Results show that it is possible to assess school readiness using GBA. Most studies assessed cognitive domains in school settings and adopted an external assessment of the tasks. However, most studies only evaluated one competency, and few intervention strategies targeted the enhancement of school readiness. Besides, few studies followed the ECD framework strictly. Implications include expanding the assessment to other school readiness domains with a real-time inbuilt assessment that conforms to the ECD framework. GBA provides a new approach to assess school readiness outside or inside the school settings in this online era.

The increase in the enrollment of immigrant children is posing new challenges for preschool education in Chile. Despite this, few studies have examined the attitudes of educators towards Latin American immigrants as well as other variables that may impact these attitudes. This exploratory research sought to analyze the relationships between out-group threat, cultural self-efficacy and affective prejudice in a sample of 153 students of preschool education. In addition, an attempt was made to determine the extent to which the perceived out-group threat and cultural self-efficacy explain this prejudice. The results show that the perception of out-group threat and cultural self-efficacy explain 34.4% of variability in the participants’ affective prejudice. The relevance of these results for students’ education is discussed.

Music Education, heretofore referred to as "Musical Awakening" ("MA") of pre-school aged children, isn’t intended to develop musical skills as an academic pursuit but rather hopes to facilitate the blossoming of individual personalities. The goal is to foster enhanced expression, relaxation, communication, and socialization. To create a pedagogical model of MA, several musical activities were designed. The aim of the study is to quantify and qualify experimentally acquired data for the purpose of the implementing a pedagogical approach to MA. Musical aptitude, psychological factors, behavioral characteristics, and reactions were considered and documented. The sample size consists of 8 children (postnatal and preschool aged) participating in a regimen of 9 educational activities distributed over 5 lessons. A limited statistical sample is presented here. Our model includes the performance of, and the reaction to, musical activities relative to 4 criteria: Behavior; Expressiveness; Vocalization (participation in song); Mobility (response to percussion instruments). Ultimately, conclusions are drawn from the acquired data and these observations are summarized here for the purpose of creating a pedagogical model that is useful to teachers. Casual and anecdotal observations are referenced within this study but are simply stated to provide commentary. This study is presented for the purpose of enhancing ways by which pre-school music educators can better understand and interact with their pupils.

Desde el enfoque emergente de la alfabetización se hace hincapié en el impacto del ambiente alfabetizador familiar sobre el desarrollo de la lectoescritura. Así, se ha constatado el influjo del nivel socioeconómico y sociocultural de los progenitores en la práctica de actividades alfabetizadoras en el hogar. Actualmente, la socialización de las TIC ofrece nuevos escenarios que precisan de estudios que contemplen esta variable en la investigación sobre la alfabetización familiar. En este trabajo se presenta una herramienta cuantitativa para la medición del grado de alfabetización familiar y de control parental en la exposición infantil a las TIC, así como el nivel percibido por las familias en la competencia lectoescritora de sus hijos/as. Los resultados de la investigación exploratoria realizada con 100 familias avalan la solidez de la herramienta y evidencian el impacto del nivel socioeconómico y académico de los progenitores en las prácticas de alfabetización y en la gestión del acceso y uso de las TIC por sus hijos/as. Además, se encuentran correlaciones positivas entre un ambiente alfabetizador más rico y una mejor gestión parental de las TIC y el nivel percibido por los progenitores en la competencia lectoescritora de sus hijos/as. From the emerging literacy theories, the impact of the family environment on literacy acquisition is emphasized. In this sense, several works have reported the influence of the socioeconomic and sociocultural level of parents in the practice of literacy activities at home. The current socialization of information and communication technologies (ICT) offers new contexts that require the development of family literacy research focused on this variable. This work presents a quantitative tool for measuring the degree of family literacy and parental control in children's exposure to ICT, as well as the competence perceived by families in their children’s literacy skills. The results of the exploratory research carried out with 100 families confirm the strength of the tool. The results also show the impact of the parents' socioeconomic and academic level on family literacy practices and on the control of access and use of ICT by their children. Furthermore, positive correlations are found between a richer literacy environment and better parental management of ICTs, and also between a richer literacy envirorment and the level perceived by parents in the literacy skills of their children.

The paper discusses the issues of teaching nationality languages of Russia to preschool children, taking the Udmurt language and culture as an example. The relevance of the study is dermined by the scientific data according to which ethnic stereotypes in behaviour are formed most intensively in preschool age. Getting acquainted with new cultures and languages is particularly important for preschool education in multinational regions as it prevents the development of ethnocentric personalities. The paper aimed at a detailed analysis of the didactic and substantive content of the educational programme “Zarni bugor” (“Golden ball”) (hereinafter referred as the Programme) with the elements of teaching the Udmurt language to children from 4 to 7; the Programme is to be realised within three years in the Russian group of kindergarten № 5 in the town of Agryz, Republic of Tatarstan. The novelty of the Programme lies in introducing the Udmurt language (along with Tatar and Russian) into the educational process of the kindergarten. The research methods are theoretical (the study of academic literature on the problems of intercultural education in a multi-ethnic region) and empirical (observation and behavioral analysis of preschoolers). The system of exercises included into the Programme, its content, the forms and methods of teaching preschoolers present a consistant didactic material for teaching the Udmurt language and culture in this age group. The programme is expected to provide a high level of intercultural competence corresponding to the age of children, it is supposed to arouse their interest in the Udmurt language and culture, make them open for perception of other cultures.

This paper is intended to study the self-regulated learning (SRL) process in personal learning environments (PLEs) among students participating in the Graduate Program for Preschool Education at the University of Granada (Spain). The study is focused on self-regulatory actions carried out by students, and on their self-regulated learning achievements, during the phases of action and reflection of this process. A Likert scale questionnaire was applied to a random cluster sample of the population. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed based on the collected data, as were non-parametric correlation and analysis of variance tests. The results confirm the importance of individual learning in the self-regulated process, and highlight the importance of digital tools in all three phases of self-regulation. Furthermore, the results show that teachers’ suggestions are related to the use of digital tools and recording of reflections on the learning process, and establish relationships between learning management tools and cognitive and metacognitive processes. The results also permit classification of students into three subgroups, based on their achievements. Analyses are consistent with the theory that explains the cyclical nature of self-regulated learning and the influence of social relationships on individual self-regulatory processes.

[spa] Esta tesis constituye un acercamiento de la neurociencia a la educación a través de una investigación científica en un contexto real de aula en la etapa de educación infantil. Iniciamos el recorrido exponiendo brevemente el desarrollo histórico de la neurociencia y la correspondiente emergencia de la neurociencia cognitiva que posibilitó la aparición de la neuroeducación. Contextualizamos este nuevo campo de investigación, aportando evidencias empíricas que tienen muchas implicaciones educativas en la infancia, la etapa que nos interesa estudiar. Identificamos uno de los pilares básicos de la neuroeducación: las funciones ejecutivas del cerebro. Estas habilidades cognitivas son imprescindibles para el bienestar, el aprendizaje y el buen desempeño cotidiano de las personas. Y, en consonancia con lo que sugieren las investigaciones en neurociencia, pueden entrenarse y mejorarse. Ese fue nuestro objetivo. Utilizamos para ello Mate Marote, un software lúdico especialmente diseñado para estimular las funciones ejecutivas que está basado en algunos de los principios básicos de la neuroeducación. Realizamos un diseño experimental cuantitativo en el que participaron 83 estudiantes de educación infantil de 4 años de edad, en promedio, de tres escuelas públicas en España. Nos propusimos analizar el impacto de la intervención sobre las tres funciones ejecutivas básicas, control inhibitorio, memoria de trabajo y flexibilidad cognitiva, pero también sobre la atención, el razonamiento fluido y el aprendizaje de las áreas de conocimiento en la etapa de educación infantil. Esto lo hicimos analizando estadísticamente los resultados del pretest y el postest de pruebas que miden diferentes habilidades cognitivas: el test child ANT (atención ejecutiva, atención de alerta y atención de orientación), el test de Stroop corazón-flor (control inhibitorio y flexibilidad cognitiva), el test de Corsi (memoria de trabajo visuoespacial), el test TONI-4 (razonamiento abstracto) y los informes de evaluación del curso (aprendizaje). Los estudiantes que conformaron el grupo de control pertenecían a dos clases de una de las escuelas (n=39), mientras que los estudiantes de las otras dos escuelas (n=44) fueron asignados de forma aleatoria a uno de dos grupos experimentales existentes (grupo CI y grupo S). Mientras que los integrantes del grupo CI jugaron a videojuegos que permiten trabajar mayormente el control inhibitorio, los del grupo S jugaron a videojuegos diseñados para trabajar también la memoria de trabajo y la flexibilidad cognitiva. Esto constituye una importante innovación con respecto a las investigaciones realizadas hasta la fecha sobre funciones ejecutivas en la infancia que no suelen analizar el impacto que puede lograrse afectando distintos componentes de la cognición en simultáneo. La intervención duró 7 semanas. Los participantes jugaron dos o tres veces por semana (según necesidades de cada escuela) durante 15 minutos, como máximo cada vez, por lo general en días no consecutivos. Los resultados revelaron mejoras concretas de los dos grupos experimentales, respecto al grupo de control, en las funciones ejecutivas básicas. El entrenamiento con el software Mate Marote, en general, y de los grupos experimentales S y CI, en particular, tiene un impacto positivo en las habilidades cognitivas evaluadas, aunque lo hacen de forma distinta. El entrenamiento específico del grupo S tuvo un mayor impacto en la atención y el control inhibitorio que el del grupo CI. Ello sugiere que entrenamientos globales que hagan intervenir más funciones ejecutivas pueden ser más beneficiosos que entrenamientos de procesos concretos en la infancia. Las diferencias de rendimiento inicial entre las escuelas abren la puerta a nuevas investigaciones que nos permitan entender las razones por las que mejoran unas habilidades y no otras, y bajo qué condiciones., [eng] This thesis is an approach of neuroscience to education through scientific research in a real classroom context in early childhood education. We begin by briefly outlining the historical development of neuroscience and the corresponding emergence of cognitive neuroscience that made possible the appearance of neuroeducation. We contextualize this new field of research, providing empirical evidence that has many educational implications in childhood, the stage that we are interested in studying. We identify one of the basic pillars of neuroeducation: the executive functions of the brain. These cognitive skills are essential for people's well-being, learning and good daily performance. And, in line with what neuroscience research suggests, they can be trained and improved. That was our goal. For this we use Mate Marote, a playful software specially designed to stimulate executive functions that is based on some of the basic principles of neuroeducation. We carried out a quantitative experimental design in which 83 4-year-old kindergarten students, on average, from three public schools in Spain participated. We set out to analyze the impact of the intervention on the three basic executive functions, inhibitory control, working memory and cognitive flexibility, but also on attention, fluid reasoning and learning. We did this by statistically analyzing the pretest and posttest results of tests measuring different cognitive skills: the child ANT test (executive attention, alertness and orientation attention), the Stroop heart-flower test (inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility), the Corsi test (visuospatial working memory), the TONI-4 test (abstract reasoning) and the course evaluation reports (learning). The students who made up the control group belonged to two classes from one of the schools (n=39), while the students from the other two schools (n=44) were randomly assigned to one of two existing experimental groups (CI group and S group). While those in the CI group played video games that allow working mostly on inhibitory control, those in the S group played video games designed to also work on working memory and cognitive flexibility. This constitutes an important innovation with respect to the research conducted to date on executive functions in childhood, which does not usually analyze the impact that can be achieved by affecting different components of cognition simultaneously. The intervention lasted 7 weeks. Participants played two or three times a week (depending on the needs of each school) for a maximum of 15 minutes each time, usually on non-consecutive days. The results revealed concrete improvements of the two experimental groups with respect to the control group. The training with the Mate Marote software, in general, and of the experimental groups S and CI, in particular, had a positive impact on the cognitive skills evaluated, although they did so in different ways. The specific training of the S group had a greater impact on attention and inhibitory control than that of the CI group. This suggests that global training that involves more executive functions may be more beneficial than process-specific training in childhood. The differences in initial performance between schools open the door to new research that will allow us to understand the reasons why some skills improve and not others, and under what conditions.

La didáctica del tiempo histórico se ha reducido, en los últimos años, a campos de estudios que se basan en la reconstrucción narrativa y la causalidad histórica. No obstante, se le debería otorgar un aprendizaje específico,sobre todo en etapas tempranas, en las cuales debería ser preferente un planteamiento didáctico de carácter más procedimental que propiamente cognoscitivo y conceptual. Por ello, en este estudio, pretendemos analizar la representación gráfica temporal de los niños de 3 a 6 años a partir del dibujo libre. Para hacerlo, se ha adoptado un enfoque fenomenológico con medición semiótica y se han clasificado los dibujos a partir de cuatro categorías temporales emergentes: dibujos con percepción cronológica, dibujos con percepción personal del tiempo, dibujos con percepción aiónica (atemporal) y dibujos que representan el tiempo atmosférico o meteorológico.Las categorías emergentes se asocian a tres preestablecidas: al tiempo de Aión, al tiempo de Cronos y al tiempo de Kairós. Como resultado, se ha observado una presencia amplia de la categoría meteorológica, así como del tiempo con significación personal. Y una presencia regresiva del tiempo aiónico e incremental del tiempo cronológico. En conclusión, se refleja la importancia de actividades de conocimientos previos de esta característica para poder, a partir de la percepción temporal de los infantes, diseñar propuestas didácticas que permiten desarrollar la adquisición de nociones del tiempo en edades tempranas y fomentar una base rigurosa del aprendizaje del tiempo histórico en etapas escolares sucesivas.

El desarrollo del pensamiento computacional es uno de los desaf?os del sistema educativo actual, ya que en la sociedad del conocimiento en la que nos encontramos, la capacidad de resoluci?n y de descomposici?n de problemas, el reconocimiento de patrones, la abstracci?n y el pensamiento algor?tmico son factores que facilitan el desarrollo de habilidades y competencias que requieren los ciudadanos del futuro en la era digital a la que nos enfrentamos. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, el prop?sito del presente art?culo es realizar una revisi?n documental sobre el estado del arte de la ense?anza del pensamiento computacional en la escuela preescolar y primaria, por tanto, se presenta como una revisi?n te?rica, en donde se emplea el m?todo correspondiente a un estudio descriptivo e interpretativo a trav?s de un an?lisis documental hermen?utico de la literatura consultada. Para lograr el prop?sito, inicialmente se realiza el abordaje del concepto ?pensamiento computacional? vinculado con otros conceptos tales como alfabetizaci?n del siglo XXI, la educaci?n preescolar y primaria, las tendencias educativas y la capacitaci?n docente. Posteriormente, se analiza un banco de datos generado a partir de la revisi?n de las publicaciones de los ?ltimos cinco a?os en buscadores acad?micos que surgieron de la investigaci?n emp?rica. Finalmente, se procede a hacer una discusi?n sobre los resultados encontrados y las necesidades de investigaci?n al respecto. Una de las mayores conclusiones que se pueden dar, es la marcada tendencia a asociar el desarrollo del pensamiento computacional con la programaci?n y de tecnolog?as como software educativo, videojuegos y robots. Los esfuerzos por desarrollar estrategias ?desenchufadas? o ?desconectadas? para ?reas diferentes a las matem?ticas y las tecnolog?as se encuentran a?n en un estado incipiente. The development of computational thinking is one of the challenges of the current educational system, since in the knowledge society in which we find ourselves, the ability to solve and decompose problems, pattern recognition, abstraction and algorithmic thinking are factors that facilitate the development of skills and skills required by the citizens of the future in the digital age we are facing. Taking into account the above, the purpose of this article is to carry out a documentary review on the state of the art of teaching computational thinking in preschool and primary school, therefore, it is presented as a theoretical review, where the method is used. corresponding to a descriptive and interpretive study through a hermeneutic documentary analysis of the consulted literature. To achieve the purpose, initially the concept of "computational thinking" is approached, linked to other concepts such as 21st century literacy, preschool and primary education, educational trends and teacher training. Subsequently, a database generated from the review of the publications of the last five years in academic search engines that emerged from the empirical research is analyzed. Finally, a discussion is made about the results found and the research needs in this regard. One of the greatest conclusions that can be given is the marked tendency to associate the development of computational thinking with programming and technologies such as educational software, video games and robots. Efforts to develop "unplugged" or "unplugged" strategies for areas other than mathematics and technology are still in their infancy.

La investigación centró su interés en construir fundamentos teóricos a partir de la vivencia artística infantil espontánea para el desarrollo del proceso de aprendizaje de la educación preescolar en el municipio de Soledad (Atlántico), que propenda subsanar el vacío epistemológico y práctico encontrado en la literatura científica y en el contexto donde se desarrolló la investigación. La información fue recabada a partir de las voces de los maestros, estudiantes y miembros de las familias. La investigación se ampara en el paradigma histórico hermenéutico. La estrategia metodológica utilizada fue la teoría fundamentada de corte constructivista. El análisis de los resultados permitió construir una teoría sustantiva centrada en la relación entre la vivencia artística infantil espontánea y el proceso de aprendizaje, denominada: principios para una práctica pedagógica corporizada, a partir de los emergentes del proceso de codificación, como fueron el pensamiento docente, la práctica pedagógica y currículo. The research focused its interest on building theoretical foundations from the spontaneous artistic experience of children for the development of the learning process of preschool education in the municipality of Soledad (Atlántico), which tends to correct the epistemological and practical gap found in the scientific literature. and in the context where the research was carried out. The information was gathered from the voices of teachers, students and family members. The research is based on the hermeneutic historical paradigm. The methodological strategy used was the constructivist grounded theory. The analysis of the results allowed the construction of a substantive theory focused on the relationship between the spontaneous child artistic experience and the learning process, called: principles for an embodied pedagogical practice, from the emerging ones of the codification process, such as teacher thought, pedagogical practice and curriculum.

Este artículo, fruto de una investigación previa, aborda la formación inicial de las técnicas en atención de párvulos (TAP)1 y las relaciones educativas que establecen con las criaturas en el ciclo de educación parvularia en Chile, esto desde una fundamentación teórica, considerando el planteamiento de la investigación en su primera fase. Del estudio emergen cuestiones necesarias de ser profundizadas como son: a) las características de la formación inicial de las TAP y; b) los estilos relacionales que se establecen con las criaturas que deben trascender el cuidado del bienestar físico para contemplar, además, aspectos emocionales, donde el cuidado y la atención desde el amor, la preocupación y la acogida (Orozco-Martínez, 2016), favorezcan al desarrollo integral y a la adquisición de aprendizajes significativos para los niños y niñas., This article is the result of a previous research. It addresses the initial training of preschool teaching assistants and the educational relationships they establish with children in the preschool education cycle in Chile, from a theoretical foundation, considering the research approach in its first phase. From the paper, somes issues emerge that require a further and deeper study: a) the characteristics of the initial training and; b) the relational styles that are established with the preschoolers —it is essential to incorporate bonds that transcend their physical wellbeing— and the emotional aspects, where care and attention from a place of love, concern and acceptance (Orozco-Martínez), 2016), favor a holistic development and acquisition through meaningful learning.

Since preschool in Chile represents a public strategy in favor of equity for children under 6 years of age in vulnerable socioeconomic conditions, as those whose family lives in rural areas, and it has relevant implications in child development, it was explored the way in which preschool policy is intended to respond to the sociocultural and geographic conditions of families in rural areas from 1990 onwards. Through a documentary review, 1664 (mostly governmental) documents were identified, and 82 were selected and analyzed. The results showed that preschool policy takes intersectoriality as a strategy for territorial pertinence, in order to strengthen education and health in early childhood, overcome poverty, and insert mothersin the labor market. Conclusions discuss the scarce clarity of the policies studied with respect to mechanisms that articulate preschool education with rural territories. En Chile la educación preescolar constituye una estrategia pública para la equidad a favor de niños y niñas menores de 6 años en condiciones de vulnerabilidad socioeconómica, como aquella población cuya familia reside en sectores rurales. Dadas las relevantes implicaciones que dicha educación tiene sobre el desarrollo infantil, la investigación se planteó como objetivo explorar la forma en que la política de jardines infantiles ha respondido a las condiciones socioculturales y geográficas del medio rural a partir de 1990 en adelante. Por medio de una revisión documental, se identificaron 1664 documentos (en su mayoría gubernamentales) y se seleccionaron y analizaron 82. Se evidenció que la política de jardines toma la intersectorialidad como estrategia para la pertinencia territorial con el fin de fortalecer la educación y la salud de la primera infancia y, además, avanzar en la superación de la pobreza e inserción laboral de las madres. Se concluye con una discusión acerca de la escasa claridad de las políticas estudiadas con respecto a mecanismos que articulen la educación parvularia con los territorios rurales.

La transición educativa involucra los procesos de cambio que los estudiantes viven al pasar de un grado, etapa, o institución a otra, o al cambiar de maestra. Estas transiciones son por lo general críticas y cada estudiante lo puede asumir y vivir de manera difrenciada, considerando sus rasgos de personalidad, capacidad de adaptación, y el nivel de apoyo que recibe de los demás miembros de la familia, entre otros factores asociados. Además, otros factores, tales como las características de la institución, los modelos educativos, las prácticas pedagógicas que se implementan y demás servicios educativos que presta la escuela, también pueden influir en la manera cómo se asumen estos cambios. En este contexto, esta investigación persigue analizar la transición educativa del estudiantado del nivel de educación inicial a educación primaria de dos instituciones de Santo Domingo, República Dominicana. Con tal propósito, esta investigación se basa en el enfoque cualitativo, es un estudio de casos de alcance descriptivo-interpretativo, y emplea el diseño no experimental transaccional. El grupo de estudio está conformado por docentes, padres, alumnos, equipos de gestión y técnicos distritales del Ministerio de Educación del nivel inicial y primario pertenecientes a dos centros educativos, una del sector público y otra privada. Los datos se recolectaron mediante técnicas cualitativas: grupos focales, entrevistas, observaciones, revisión de documentos y notas extensivas de campo. Se observaron los factores relacionados con docentes, padres, instituciones y alumnos que intervienen en el proceso de transición educativa del nivel de educación inicial a educación primaria. Se exploran las prácticas escolares y familiares que fortalecen u obstaculizan los procesos de transición. Los datos fueron finalmente contrastados mediante la triangulación. Se logró identificar algunos factores que influyen en la transición entre estas dos etapas educativas en el contexto dominicano. Como resultado de nuestro estudio podemos afirmar que instituciones y docentes no disponen de documentación institucional sobre la articulación educativa entre estos dos niveles. Además, los docentes, equipos de gestión y técnicos distritales reconocen que no están formados para atender la transición de forma efectiva y que este tema no se incluye en los programas de formación y actualización docente. En ambos centros educativos, hemos encontrado que las estrategias y actividades formales para abordar la transición están centradas en la adecuación del espacio físico, el mobiliario y la ambientación de los salones. Hay escasa participación de los padres, a quienes no se les ofrece orientación para apoyar este proceso. También encontramos que las preocupaciones de los alumnos están relacionadas con aspectos pedagógicos, sociales y afectivos relativos con el ingreso a primer grado. Podemos concluir que existe la necesidad de generar la documentación adecuada que sustente la transición, de desarrollar programas de formación y apoyo para todos los involucrados y de diseñar currículos comunes entre ambos niveles educativos, para lo cual habría que tomar en cuenta las preocupaciones, problemas y expectativas de los alumnos, padres y maestros. Además, es necesario que el Ministerio de Educación y las instituciones educativas involucradas desarrollen programas de formación docente y fomenten el diseño de estrategias para facilitar la participación de todos los involucrados en el proceso educativo, de modo que, en conjunto, puedan favorecer la transición exitosa de los estudiantes entre el nivel de educación inicial a primaria. The educational transition involves the processes that students experience when passing from one stage, grade or institution to another, or when changing teachers. These processes are usually critical and, like all changes, are assumed and experienced by each student in a different way, according to their personality, adaptability, and family support, among other associated factors. In addition, the type of institution in which they are developed, the educational models, the practices that are implemented and any other educational services that the school provides are factors that can also influence the way in which these changes are assumed. In this context, this research seeks to analyze the educational transition of students from early childhood education to elementary school in two schools in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. For this purpose, this research is based on the qualitative paradigm, is a descriptive-interpretive case study, and uses non-experimental transactional design. The study group is made up of teachers, parents, students, management teams and district technicians of the Ministry of Education at the initial and primary levels, belonging to two educational institutions, one public and one private. Data were collected using qualitative data collection techniques: focus groups, interviews, observations, document review, and extensive field notes. Factors related to teachers, parents, institutions and students involved in the transition process from early childhood education to elementary school were observed. School and family practices that strengthen or hinder transition processes are explored. Data were finally analyzed and contrasted using the triangulation technique. Factors involved in the transition processes between these two educational stages in the Dominican context were identified. Findings indicate that institutions and teachers do not have institutional documentation on the educational articulation between these two levels. In addition, the teachers, management teams and district technicians recognize that they are not trained to deal with the transition effectively and that this topic is not included in the teacher training and updating programs. In both schools, we have found that the strategies and formal activities to attend the transition are focused on the adequacy of the physical space, the furniture and the setting of the classrooms. There is little involvement of parents, who are not offered guidance to support this process. We also found that students' concerns are related to pedagogical, social and emotional aspects related to entering first grade. We can conclude that there is a need to generate the adequate documentation that supports the transition, to develop training and support programs for all those involved and to design common curricula between both educational levels, for which the concerns, problems and problems should be considered. expectations of students, parents and teachers. In addition, it is necessary that the Ministry of Education and the educational institutions involved develop teacher training programs and promote the design of strategies to facilitate the participation of all those involved in the educational process, so that, together, they can favor a successful transition. of students between the initial to primary education level.

The preschool level in Ecuador is becoming increasingly important due to research that has been carried out around children of this age and their capacity for learning. This work focuses on four key aspects of the educational process at this sub-level: the curriculum, the teacher, methodological guidelines, and evaluation. Through a reflective documentary analysis, it has been determined that there are important advances in defining guidelines for the pedagogical task in the preschool level, but there are still some elements that require attention for effective implementation. These elements include interculturality, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), teacher training, and the revaluation of evaluation. It is important for teachers to have the necessary training to properly use ICT and take advantage of its educational potential. Finally, evaluation must be revalued and understood as a pedagogical tool for improving learning and not just as a measure of performance., El nivel preescolar en Ecuador está adquiriendo una importancia cada vez mayor debido a las investigaciones que se han realizado en torno a los niños de esta edad y su capacidad de aprendizaje. Este trabajo se enfoca en cuatro aspectos clave del proceso educativo en este subnivel: el currículo, el docente, las orientaciones metodológicas y la evaluación. A través de un análisis documental reflexivo, se ha determinado que hay importantes avances en la definición de directrices para la tarea pedagógica en el nivel preescolar, todavía hay algunos elementos que requieren atención para su aplicación efectiva. Entre estos elementos se incluyen la interculturalidad, el uso de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), la capacitación docente y la revalorización de la evaluación. Es importante que los docentes cuenten con la capacitación necesaria para utilizar adecuadamente las TIC y aprovechar su potencial educativo. Por último, la evaluación debe ser revalorizada y entendida como una herramienta pedagógica para mejorar el aprendizaje y no solo como una medida de rendimiento.

Marino, C. A. (2022). La articulación como proceso en el sistema educativo. La concepción de proceso en las propuestas de articulación del colectivo docente de los niveles inicial y primario. (Tesis de maestría). Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, Bernal, Argentina. El objetivo de esta tesis es poder contribuir a los estudios en el campo educativo, tanto en el ámbito del Nivel Inicial como del Nivel Primario en contextos rurales. El estudio se enfocará en el abordaje de la articulación entre ambos. Se propone analizar la concepción de proceso que disponen los actores sociales en las Instituciones Educativas en el marco de la articulación, tanto en el Nivel Inicial como en el Nivel Primario en el contexto rural del Distrito de General Las Heras, Se tomarán como casos de estudio dos parejas institucionales: por un lado, el JIRIMM N° 1 y la Escuela Primaria N°6 y por el otro el JIRIMM N° 7 y la Escuela Primaria N° 10. La investigación de campo se llevó a cabo en el período 2019-2021. Se buscará promover la reflexión crítica acerca de la articulación como proceso: su tránsito, la continuidad pedagógica, el contexto rural, los criterios de aprendizaje, los dispositivos pedagógicos, los discursos, las trayectorias educativas y las prácticas pedagógicas, entre otros aspectos. Esta investigación incluirá como metodología un trabajo etnográfico y de análisis documental, estrategias que permitirán visualizar e interpretar las prácticas de articulación entre el Nivel Inicial y el Nivel Primario, sus continuidades y/o posibles resquebrajamientos. El contexto rural es el escenario en el que los actores sociales, sobre todo los docentes, diseñan las pautas, las fronteras y las intervenciones en los terrenos educativos. El aporte se centra en la comprensión del proceso de elaboración y producción de propuestas de articulación de los docentes, ya que se piensa en el proceso como escenario pedagógico compartido y simultáneo entre ambos niveles. Se destaca también que los docentes son simultáneamente directivos, ya que se encuentran a cargo de los grupos de alumnos y de alumnas de cada nivel en el contexto rural del Distrito de General Las Heras. Los problemas que ha traído la pandemia del coronavirus han puesto a prueba a toda la sociedad y en lo que respecta a la educación, los docentes se han reinventado en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje a distancia, desde la virtualidad. Por lo tanto, en esta tesis se continua y completa la investigación a través de una etnografía, pero de modalidad virtual. Esta situación inesperada dio visibilidad a una ruptura de las fronteras de las instituciones, que fueron pensadas para ser un espacio independiente del ámbito familiar, aunque en el vínculo con ellas se base la continuidad pedagógica. Esta ruptura del espacio físico de la institución educativa y el traslado de los procesos de aprendizaje al ámbito familiar dio cuenta de la diversidad y las desigualdades propias de estos espacios. A su vez, las nuevas tecnologías desafian los roles de los educadores y abren un mundo de nuevas perspectivas, competencias y necesidades.

Las estrategias de gestión de aula son aquellos procedimientos y estrategias empleadas por los docentes que les permiten administrar su salón de clase, de forma tal que se genere un ambiente ideal para el aprendizaje, el bienestar emocional, la creatividad, independencia, el orden y la motivación. Una buena gestión del aula se diferencia del autoritarismo y el condicionamiento, antes, por el contrario, fomenta los espacios en los cuales los niños y niñas se convierten en los protagonistas de los procesos y rutinas en el salón de clase. La presente revisión documental tiene como principal insumo de análisis veinte documentos de origen colombiano y estadounidense entre los que se encuentran, tesis, disertaciones, artículos académicos y artículos de revista. Los cuales fueron analizados y consolidados mediante categorías y subcategorías, posteriormente se realizó la triangulación de la información recolectada para establecer los hallazgos de la información, para finalmente elaborar una propuesta de acción didáctica para docentes de transición, que sirva como medio para promover el uso de estrategias de gestión de aula en el contexto colombiano. Classroom management strategies are those procedures and strategies used by teachers to manage their classrooms to generate an ideal environment for learning, emotional well-being, creativity, independence, learning engagement, and motivation. Good classroom management differs from authoritarianism and conditioning; before, on the contrary, it fosters spaces in which boys and girls become the protagonists of the processes and routines in the classroom. The present documentary review has its primary input for analyzing twenty documents of Colombian and American origin, including theses, dissertations, academic articles, and journal articles. Which were analyzed and consolidated through categories and subcategories; later, the triangulation of the information collected was carried out to establish the report's findings and finally elaborate a didactic plan proposal for pre-kindergarten teachers. In summary, it serves as a means to promote classroom management strategies in Colombian schools. Licenciado en Educación Preescolar http://www.ustadistancia.edu.co/?page_id=3956 Pregrado

Treballs Finals de Grau de Mestre d'Educació Infantil, Facultat d'Educació, Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2021-2022, Tutor: Andrés Torres Carceller, [spa] Los niños y las niñas pasan innumerables horas jugando con materiales sencillos como palos, piedras, arena, conchas o cajas entre otros. Anteponen el juego libre con elementos que aparentemente sin ser nada, pueden serlo todo, en vista de que despiertan su interés y dejan volar su creatividad e imaginación. Uno de los métodos para que suceda el juego libre en la infancia es mediante el uso de las piezas sueltas. La presente investigación da la importancia que el juego merece por su carácter innato y por los beneficios para el desarrollo, puesto que en el uso de piezas sueltas no existe una respuesta incorrecta o única sino tantas como imaginación se tenga. La realización de encuestas, entrevistas, búsqueda de fuentes y documentaciones ha dado como resultado indicios de un mal uso del concepto de pieza suelta entre docentes. A lo largo del trabajo se aprecia la mirada y el respeto sobre la importancia de una educación basada en el juego libre con apartados esclarecedores con la definición de piezas sueltas, el origen de la teoría, los tipos existentes, las diferentes propuestas que se podrían llevar a cabo y el rol del adulto antes, durante y después del juego., [eng] Children spend countless hours playing with simple materials such as sticks, stones, sand, shells or boxes, among others. They give preference to free play with elements that apparently might be nothing but instead could be everything because they arouse their interest and let their creativity and imagination fly. One of the methods for free play to happen in childhood is through the use of loose parts. The present research gives to the act of playing the importance that it deserves because of its innate nature and the benefits for development, since when using loose parts there are not any wrong or unique answers but as many answers as our imagination can produce. Conducting surveys and interviews and searching for sources and documentation has resulted in evidence of a misuse of the concept of loose part among teachers. Throughout the research, the approach and respect for the importance of an education based on free play can be observed through clarifying sections with the definition of loose parts, the origin of the theory, the existing types, the different proposals that could be carried out and the role of the adult before, during and after the game.

Preschool education in Chile has its beginnings in the second half of the nineteenth century due to the German influence brought to Chile by José Abelardo Núñez. The first kindergarten was formed in a particular way. After that, the first public kindergarten, attached to the Normal School No. 1, was founded in 1906. At the same time, the austrian educator Maluschka Leopoldina was hired and the Froebelian method was used. At the University of Chile, in the 30s of the twentieth century, an improved movement was carried out by Irma Salas who studied for her doctorate in The United States with Dewey and brought the thought of the New School to the country. This event led to the establishment of the Kindergarten Teachers College in 1944 and its first principal was the prominent educator Amanda Labarca. This movement facilitated the establishment of nursery and childcare facilities throughout the country. This work has a historical character based on primary and secondary sources to show the development that the Chilean State has shown in relation to preschool education and the Children´s rights in Chile.

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a prevalência e fatores associados no que se refere ao desempenho anormal do desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor de crianças matriculadas na educação infantil pública em Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brasil, em 2009 (n = 438). Esta é uma pesquisa epidemiológica de corte transversal, com amostragem por conglomerado e sorteio das escolas e crianças. Foram verificados os fatores associados por meio de aplicação de questionário às mães e de teste Denver II ao filho. A análise estatística realizou o teste χ2 com intervalo de 95% de confiança e α = 5%. A prevalência de desempenho anormal do desenvolvimento foi 46,3%. Na análise de regressão logística, as variáveis estatisticamente significantes associadas foram: sexo masculino (RP = 1,43; p = 0,00), cinco anos de idade (RP = 1,42; p = 0,00), não realização de pré-natal (RP = 1,41; p = 0,00), início do pré-natal > 3 meses (RP = 1,25; p = 0,00) e consumo alcoólico na gestação (RP = 1,55; p = 0,00). A prevalência foi elevada, apontando a necessidade de pré-natal precoce, alertando sobre o consumo alcoólico, e de vigilância nos primeiros anos de vida, visando a prevenir ou tratar precocemente as alterações.This study investigated the prevalence of abnormal neuropsychomotor developmental performance and associated factors in children enrolled in the public preschool system in Feira de Santana, Bahia State, Brazil, 2009 (N = 438). This was a cross-sectional epidemiological study with random sampling of schools and children. The study analyzed associated factors with a questionnaire applied to mothers and the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) II in the preschool children. Statistical analysis used the χ2 test with 95% confidence interval and α = 5%. Prevalence of abnormal developmental performance was 46.3%. According to logistic regression analysis, variables showing statistically significant association were: male gender (PR = 1.43; p = 0.00), age five years (PR = 1.42; p = 0.00), lack of prenatal care (PR = 1.41; p = 0.00), first prenatal visit > 3 months gestation (PR = 1.25; p = 0.00), and alcohol consumption during pregnancy (PR = 1.55; p = 0.00). Prevalence of abnormal development was high, thus highlighting the need for early prenatal care, warnings against alcohol consumption during pregnancy, and early childhood monitoring, aimed at prevention or early treatment.

The article describes the positive effect in an intervention programbased on number comprehension in early math skill levels that Chileanpreschoolers present in the relational and numerical skill areas evaluated with the Test of Early Mathematics Assessment Utrecht (TEMT-U), the Spanish version of the Utrecht Early Numeracy Test. The study reveals that there are significant differences in the early math skills levels among those groups subjected to thistype of program and those that in the same period of time were only influenced by the content and activities of the traditional curriculum sequence in the Chilean school population. There are positive effects in the program regardless of the educational level that children attend. There are also relational or skillsPiagetian that show higher achievement levels. The results prove that there are no differences in mathematical literacy levels between boys and girls, contrary to what is observed in later years.

O artigo apresenta resultados de pesquisa de avaliação sobre a qualidade da educação infantil no Brasil, desenvolvida em parceria com a Fundação Carlos Chagas, o Ministério da Educação e o Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento. Os dados foram colhidos em 147 instituições de educação infantil em seis capitais brasileiras, durante o segundo semestre de 2009. Para a observação dos ambientes de creches e pré-escolas foram utilizadas versões adaptadas das escalas Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale Revised Edition e Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale Revised Edition. Foram também aplicados questionários a diretores das instituições e professoras das turmas avaliadas. Os principais resultados revelaram que: creches e pré-escolas apresentam em média níveis de qualidade insatisfatórios; os níveis de qualidade mais comprometidos se referem às atividades (creche e pré-escola), rotinas de cuidado pessoal (creche) e estrutura do programa (pré-escola); mudanças em determinadas características das instituições poderiam levar à melhoria da qualidade da educação infantil nos municípios investigadosThis article presents results from a research on the quality of Early Childhood Education in Brazil that was conducted in a collaborative effort between Fundação Carlos Chagas, the Ministry of Educations and the Inter-American Development Bank. Data were collected in 147 crèches and preschools in six state capitals, during the second semester of 2009. The instruments applied for the observation of classes were the translated versions of the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale Revised Edition and the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale Revised Edition. Questionnaires for principals and for teachers of the observed classes were also applied. The main results are: crèches and preschools average scores were in the basic level; the lowest scores received were related to Activities (crèche and preschool), Personal care routines (crèche), and Program structure (preschool); if changes were promoted in some of the institutions characteristics, those scores could be significantly improved

Objetiva-se trazer resultados de pesquisa empírica sobre situações de trabalho e emprego nas instituições de educação infantil no Brasil, evidenciando o caso de Belo Horizonte, capital de Minas Gerais, que apresenta oferta em creches e pré-escolas, representativa da realidade dos grandes centros urbanos brasileiros. Efetuou-se o levantamento de fontes documentais, legislação, estatísticas, entrevistas e observações, no intuito de evidenciar as relações entre as tipologias das instituições de educação infantil e as formas de contratação, carreira, salário e condições de trabalho. As situações investigadas se referiram aos estabelecimentos de ensino público (estadual e municipal) e estabelecimentos de ensino privados, segundo as categorias particular, comunitária, filantrópica e confessional. Os estabelecimentos estudados foram escolhidos, segundo amostra intencional, por localização e público preferencial atendido. Informações também foram buscadas junto aos empregadores - públicos e privados e junto às representações sindicais/associativas dos profissionais, nos setores públicos e privados. Evidenciou-se existência de profissionais com status e formação/qualificação diferenciados, bem como variadas modalidades de relações de emprego e trabalho, que revelam processo de precarização no exercício profissional na educação infantil. Segmentações no interior do setor público, e entre setor público e privado, reiteram desigualdades históricas no campo. Por outro lado, uma demanda crescente por profissionalização é observada.The present work aims at presenting results of empirical research about the situations of labor and employment in institutions of child education in Brazil, highlighting the case of Belo Horizonte, Capital city of Minas Gerais State, which offers nurseries and preschools and it is representative of Brazilian urban centers. An analysis including documental sources, legislation, statistics, interviews and observations was conducted, aiming at revealing the relations between the typologies of child education establishments and the forms of recruitment, career, salary and working conditions. The situations examined referred to public education institutions (State and Municipal) and private institutions, according to the categories private, communitarian, philanthropic and confessional. The studied establishments were selected, through an intentional sampling procedure, based on location and preferential public attended. Information was also collected from employers - public and private - and from representations of the unions/associations of professionals, in the public and private sectors. The existence of professionals with differentiated status and formation/qualification was evident, as well as a number of modalities of labor and work relations, which reveal a process of precariousness in the professional exercise in child education. Cleavages within the public sector and between public and private sectors reiterate historical inequalities in that field. However, an increased demand for professionalization is observed.

Este estudio examinó la gestión del tiempo en 12 salas de kindergarten chilenas de la Región Metropolitana pertenecientes a 9 establecimientos de diversos tipos de dependencia y niveles socioeconómicos (NSE). Para ello se realizó un total de 33 observaciones en las 12 salas (promedio de duración de 197 minutos) y se determinó en qué tipo de actividades se invertía el tiempo. Más de la mitad de la jornada en las salas de la muestra se dedicó a actividades no instruccionales, como juego inestructurado, colación (merienda) y manejo conductual. El tiempo dedicado a actividades instruccionales no se distribuyó de acuerdo a los hallazgos actuales sobre las actividades más productivas para el desarrollo de los niños. Estos resultados fueron independientes del tipo de dependencia y NSE de los establecimientos.This study examined time management in 12 kindergarten classrooms from 9 Chilean schools with diverse sources of funding and socioeconomic status (SES). We conducted 33 observations in the 12 classrooms (average duration 197 minutes), and determined the amount of time devoted to different activities. More than half of the time in these classrooms was spent in non-instructional activities such as recess, snack, and managing the children's behavior. Additionally, the distribution of instructional time is not in accordance with current findings regarding the activities that are more fruitful for children's development. These results are independent of the schools' source of funding and SES.

O objetivo foi avaliar o desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor de pré-escolares na educação infantil. Estudo de corte transversal, utilizando 38 itens do teste de Denver II. Foram avaliados todos os pré-escolares com idade entre quatro e seis anos incompletos matriculados na Rede Pública Municipal de Ensino de Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brasil, no período de agosto 2002 a novembro 2003. Nesse período havia 960 pré-escolares matriculados em 27 creches e duas escolas públicas. Para a análise estatística foi aplicado o teste Ç2 com intervalo de 95% de confiança e ± = 5%. Para calcular os percentis da idade em que os pré-escolares passaram em cada prova foi realizada uma regressão logística. Dos 960 pré-escolares avaliados, 67% apresentaram desempenho normal, 30,2% questionável e 2,8% anormal. Em 27/38 itens avaliados, o percentual de acertos ultrapassou 90%. O desempenho alterado predominou no sexo masculino, no grupo de cinco a seis anos. O desempenho dessa população foi muito semelhante ao dos pré-escolares norte-americanos de Denver, Colorado. O melhor resultado segundo o gênero ocorreu no sexo feminino e segundo a idade no grupo de quatro anos.The aim of this study was to assess the neuropsychomotor development of children enrolled in daycare centers and preschools. This cross-sectional study used 38 items from the Denver II test to assess four and five-year-olds enrolled in the municipal school system in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso State, Brazil, from August 2002 to November 2003. There were 960 children enrolled in 27 daycare centers and two public preschools. Statistical analysis used the Ç2 test with a 95% confidence interval and ± = 5%. Logistic regression was used to calculate the percentages with which the preschoolers passed the test at each respective age. Of the 960 preschoolers tested, 67% showed normal performance, 30.2% borderline, and 2.8% abnormal. In 27 of the 38 items, the proportion of correct answers was greater than 90%. Altered performance was more common in five-year-old boys. Performance in this sample was quite similar to that of preschoolers in Denver, Colorado, USA.

Este artículo presenta un análisis de los resultados que aporta la investigación, cualitativo-fenomenológica realizada en Jardines Infantiles de la Región del Bio Bío, respecto a la participación de la familia en los procesos educativos de sus hijos e hijas expresada desde la vivencia de sus actores. La iniciativa de investigar sobre el tema nace de la necesidad de profundizar en la experiencia de familias y docentes que se vinculan en un proceso de participación orientado por Políticas Sociales y Bases Curriculares. Sin embargo, la observación de estas prácticas entrega una visión confusa entre diversos paradigmas que se alejan de los enfoques actuales existentes para promover una participación social que empodere a sus actores y genere desarrollo de mayores capacidades. El propósito del estudio fue conocer el tipo de participación de la familia existente en estos jardines infantiles, las expectativas existentes entre sus actores, familias y docentes, y en un nivel más específico, identificar obstáculos, facilitadores, y estrategias que intervienen en el proceso en el contexto de la educación que se brinda a niños y niñas de sectores vulnerables de la población. La información que se obtuvo constituye un modesto aporte desde Trabajo Social a la educación parvularia, a la luz de cuyos hallazgos se invita a revisar la Política de Trabajo con Familias en la institución, escuchar la voz de sus actores y, considerar los resultados como factor de análisis para contribuir a revitalizar la participación de las familias y potenciar a los agentes educativos encargados de para promover estos procesos. Sin duda cualquier esfuerzo que se haga en pro de la participación social es una contribución al bienestar humano, especialmente cuando el contexto incluye a familias de alta vulnerabilidad social.This article presents an analysis of the results provided by the research, qualitative-phenomenological done in Kindergarten in the region of Bio Bío, regarding the involvement of the family in education of their sons and daughters expressed from the experience of their players. The initiative to investigate on the subject stems from the need to deepen the experience of families and teachers who are linked in a participatory process guided by Social Policy and Curriculum bases. However, the observation of these practices provides a vision blurred between different paradigms that are a far cry from the current approaches exist to promote social participation that empowers players to their development and generate greater capabilities. The purpose of this study was to determine the type of family participation in these kindergartens, expectations among their players, families and teachers, and a more specific level, identify obstacles, facilitators, and strategies involved in the process the context of the education provided to children from vulnerable populations. The information was obtained is a modest contribution from the Social Work preschool education, in the light of whose findings are invited to review the policy with Working Families in the institution, listen to the voice of its actors, and consider the results as a factor Analysis to help revitalize the participation of families and empower agents to promote educational responsible for these processes. Certainly any effort that is made for social participation is a contribution to human welfare, especially when the context includes families of high social risk.

Scientific interest lies in studying the prosocial characteristics of the child population of the Andean Community (Latin America), as it is a humanistic requirement in currently convulsed societies. In this sense, the research compares the prosocial behavior of 579 infants from Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. We use rubrics and observation cards. Formal educational institutions host more prosocial children, with boys being better. Individuals from Bolivian and Ecuadorian schools have better prosocial behavior. In terms of management, private institutions in Peru develop a higher level of this behavior. In the Peruvian infants indecipherable empathy was detected, a certain percentage of Bolivians presented a low level of socialization; another percentage of Ecuadorians presented indecipherable cooperation behaviors. El interés científico recae en estudiar las características prosociales de la población infantil de la Comunidad Andina (Latinoamérica), por ser una exigencia humanística en las sociedades actualmente convulsionadas. En ese sentido, la investigación compara el comportamiento prosocial de 579 infantes de Perú, Ecuador y Bolivia. Utilizamos rúbricas y fichas de observación. Las instituciones educativas formales albergan a niños más prosociales, siendo mejor el de los varones. Los individuos de las escuelas bolivianas y ecuatorianas tienen mejor comportamiento prosocial. En cuanto a la gestión, las instituciones privadas de Perú desarrollan mayor nivel de este comportamiento. En los infantes peruanos se detectó empatía indescifrable, cierto porcentaje de bolivianos presentó bajo nivel de socialización; otro porcentaje de ecuatorianos presentaron conductas indescifrables de cooperación.

Tenint present la funció social de l’educació i la necessitat d’un enfocament pedagògic integrat en l’educació preescolar d’acord amb un desenvolupament integral i holístic del nen, presentem un projecte d’intervenció educativa, construït i dinamitzat en el marc de la formació inicial i professionalització d’educadors infantils. El projecte “Descobrim Prínceps i Princeses... Castells i Dragons” es basa en una pedagogia infantil que valora la preeminència de la veu del nen, constructora activa del seu recorregut d’aprenentatge, pensada en una dinàmica d’(ínter)acció integradora centrada en l’enfocament STEAM. Es tracta d’un estudi de cas en què les dades recollides permeten reconèixer les contribucions del projecte que segueix la pedagogia STEAM per a l’aprenentatge dels nens i per a una acció reflexiva de fort caràcter formatiu per a les educadores involucrades. A partir de la proposta elaborada, es va copsar l’acció STEAM tenint en compte l’acció del nen, element principal de l’acció pedagògica, a partir de la resolució de problemes. També es va poder constatar la promoció de l’aprenentatge a través d’aquesta metodologia en l’àmbit cognitiu, amb el desenvolupament de la innovació, la implicació, la creativitat, el treball en equip i la comunicació., This paper presents an educational intervention considering the social function of education and the need for an integrated pedagogical approach in kindergarten education for the holistic development of the child, built and streamlined within the framework of initial training and professionalization of childhood educators. The project “Let’s discover Princes and Princesses ... Castles and Dragons” is based on a childhood pedagogy that values the primacy of the child’s voice, active builder of their own learning path, designed in a dynamic of integrative (inter) action centred on the STEAM approach. The data collected for this case study highlights the contributions of the project anchored in the STEAM pedagogy for children’s learning and for a reflexive action with a strong formative tendency for the involved educators. From this proposal, it was possible to understand the action (not sure about this) of STEAM considering the children’s agency, placing them as the main element of the pedagogical action, based on problem solving. On the other hand, it was possible to verify the promotion of learning through the methodology at the cognitive level, with the development of innovation, involvement, creativity, teamwork, and communication., Teniendo presente la función social de la educación y la necesidad de un enfoque pedagógico integrado en la educación preescolar en acorde con un desarrollo integral y holístico del niño, presentamos un proyecto de intervención educativa, construido y dinamizado en el marco de la formación inicial y profesionalización de educadores infantiles. El proyecto - Vamos a descubrir Príncipes y Princesas... Castillos y Dragones - se basa en una pedagogía infantil que valoriza la primacía de la voz del niño, constructora activa de su recorrido de aprendizaje, pensada en una dinámica de (ínter)acción integradora centrada en el enfoque STEAM. El estudio llevado a cabo adoptó la forma de un estudio de caso y los datos recogidos permiten reconocer las contribuciones del proyecto anclado en la pedagogía STEAM para el aprendizaje de los niños y para una acción reflexiva de fuerte carácter formativo para las educadoras involucradas.

espanolEl presente articulo nace de un proceso de indagacion narrativa desarrollado durante 2016-2018 en una escuela de Educacion Infantil ubicada en Edmonton (Canada). Junto a Tessa, la maestra, y los ninos y ninas de la clase, exploramos como la ensenanza puede ser vivida como una experiencia de creacion, cuales son las condiciones que hacen posible esa creacion curricular y que necesitamos para sostenerla y avivarla. El curriculo es entendido como un proceso en el que convergen multiples dimensiones e historias. Un proceso de co-composicion donde las preguntas, saberes, propuestas educativas, conversaciones, juegos, lecturas, incertidumbres y tensiones son entretejidas por quienes conforman la vida de la clase. Los hilos de sentido que emergen de la investigacion se presentan a traves de dos historias: a) vivir el curriculo como un disponerse a ‘algo’ y b) la creacion curricular como composicion. Repetir, componer y disponerse son tres movimientos internos de la creacion curricular que nos permite pensarnos en el espacio educativo no solo desde el presente y la presencia, sino desde una capacidad imaginativa respecto a esas otras posibilidades que tienen sentido en y para la vida educativa de los ninos y ninas EnglishThis article arises from a narrative inquiry process developed in an Early Childhood Education school located in Edmonton (Canada) from 2016 to 2018. Alongside Tessa, a Kindergarten teacher, and the children, we explore how teaching can be lived as an experience of creation, what are the conditions that make this curriculum making process possible, and what we need to sustain and to enliven it. We understand curriculum as a multistoried process where children’s wonders, knowledge, educational proposals and activities, conversations, games, readings, uncertainties, and tensions are interwoven by those who are part of the daily basis class. The resonances of meaning that emerge from the current research are presented through two stories: a) to experience the curriculum as a readiness and att entiveness to ‘something’ and b) curriculum creation as composition. To create, to compose and to be att entive to what children are symbolically placing in the middle of the class allows us to think about the educational space not only from the present and the presence, but from an imaginative ability regarding those other possibilities that make sense in and for the children’s educational life and development

The purpose of this study was to assess the linguistic skills of children from a low socioeconomic background who were beginning their elementary education. A total of 262 first-grade students with an average age of 5.7 years old and who were enrolled in 8 groups of public schools from Mexico State, participated in this project. The instrument used was the Precurrent Skills for Reading Assessment (PSRA) by Vega (1991), and was administered individually to each student at the beginning of the 2004-2005 school year. The statistical analysis using SPSS showed a mean score of 77 (SD=14), which corresponds to 57% of the total PSRA score. These results may indicate that first grade students have an unsatisfactory level of linguistic behaviour. Slight differences in the students’ performances were observed. A slightly better performance was shown by those first grade students who were 6 years old at the beginning of the school year and who had previously received pre-school education. The implications of the poor linguistic level shown by the participants are discussed, and some alternatives based on the behavioural research, are proposed

Fazer pesquisa etnográfica com crianças pequenas envolve um certo número de desafios uma vez que os adultos são percebidos como poderosos e controladores de suas vidas. Este artigo relata minhas pesquisas etnográficas comparativas com crianças de pré-escolas nos Estados Unidos e na Itália. Enfoco mais particularmente a entrada no campo, o estabelecimento do status de participante e a coleta de notas de campo e de dados audiovisuais. Faço uma breve revisão dos procedimentos de entrada no campo que usei nos locais de pesquisa de campo nos Estados Unidos e na Itália. Discuto como, com o tempo, passei a fazer "pesquisa com, e não mais sobre, crianças", ou seja, como meus métodos de coleta de dados acabaram se tornando gradualmente mais abertos à contribuição direta das crianças. Finalmente, usando a pesquisa de Modena, na Itália, discuto uma etnografia longitudinal ao longo de períodos-chave de transição na vida das crianças. Essa etnografia implicou que permanecesse com e continuasse observando e entrevistando as crianças quando entraram na primeira série e durante seus cinco anos de escola primária.Doing ethnographic research with young children involves a number of challenges as adults are perceived as powerful and controlling of children's lives. In this paper I review my comparative ethnographic research of preschool children in the United States and Italy. The focus is on field entry, establishing participant status, and the collection of field notes and audiovisual data. I briefly review field entry procedures I employed in field sites in the United States and Italy. I discuss how my data collection methods over time became gradually more open to children's direct input which is what I mean by "research with as opposed to on children". Finally, using the research from Modena, Italy I discuss a longitudinal ethnography across key transition periods in children's lives. This ethnography involved my staying with and continuing to observe and interview the children as the entered first grade and throughout their five years of elementary school.

In this Master´s Degree Final Project, a theoretical review of the concept of Intellectual Disability is carried out, the historical evolution that has existed until today, as well as the most characteristic manifestations of people with this disability, its classifications in terms of Diagnostic Manuals used worldwide, indicators for its detection, etc. However, it also approaches educational needs and language difficulties, a current aspect in these people, that is why it is especially important to intervene, from an early age, since it is decisive in the mental development and in the process of the child socialization. Therefore, the objective will be to develop a proposal of intervention to improve the language of a child who is schooled in Preschool Education. The methodology used will be by projects with all the class and individually in the specific classroom. In this sense, we will improve the development of his linguistic skills such as the increase of his lexicon, his oral expression, etc., preventing possible future difficulties related to language and speech, facilitating his inclusion in ordinary schools. En este trabajo de fin de máster se realiza una revisión teórica del concepto de Discapacidad Intelectual, abordando la evolución histórica que ha existido hasta la actualidad, así como las manifestaciones más características de las personas con dicha discapacidad, su clasificación en cuanto a Manuales Diagnósticos utilizados mundialmente, indicadores para su detección, etc. No obstante, también se abordan las necesidades educativas y las dificultades del lenguaje, aspecto muy presente en estas personas por lo que cobra especial importancia la intervención del mismo, desde edades tempranas, ya que es determinante en el desarrollo mental y en el proceso de socialización del niño. Es por eso por lo que el objetivo será llevar a cabo una propuesta de intervención para mejorar el lenguaje de un niño escolarizado en Educación Infantil. La metodología que llevaremos a cabo será por rincones con el grupo clase y de manera individual en el aula específica. De esta manera, favoreceremos en el niño el desarrollo de sus habilidades lingüísticas abordando aspectos como el aumento del léxico, su expresión oral, etc. y prevendremos posibles dificultades futuras relacionadas con el lenguaje y el habla, favoreciendo su inclusión.

En los últimos años se ha incorporado la enseñanza de la probabilidad en el currículo de matemáticas a partir de los 3 años. Desde esta perspectiva, se presenta una propuesta para trabajar la probabilidad en Educación Infantil a través de una actividad matemática competencial, cuyo rasgo más característico es que se trabajan los primeros contenidos de probabilidad a través de los procesos matemáticos de resolución de problemas, razonamiento y prueba, comunicación, conexiones y representación. En concreto, se describe y analiza la experiencia “Probabilidad con cacahuetes” realizada con 22 niños de 5 años de un colegio público de la provincia de A Coruña (España). El grado de riqueza competencial de la experiencia se analiza a partir de 10 indicadores competenciales sobre el planteamiento y la gestión de las actividades matemáticas competenciales. Over recent years, the teaching of probability has been incorporated into the mathematics curriculum from the age of 3. Within this context, a proposal is presented for working on probability in Preschool Education through a competency-based mathematics activity. The most characteristic feature of this activity is that probability is approached for the first time through the mathematical processes of problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections and representation. Namely, this article describes and analyses the "Probability with peanuts" experience carried out with 22 ive-year-old children at a state school in the province of A Coruña (Spain). The degree of competency-based richness of the experience is analysed on the basis of 10 competency indicators on the approach to and management of competency-based mathematics activities.
