The game represents a didactic tool that significantly enriches mathematical learning in the second year of Basic General Education. Through the game, an attractive learning environment is created that affects the ability to apply knowledge creatively and effectively. The present research aims to design a system of activities based on the game for the development of numerical thinking in second-year students of the Juan León Mera Basic Education School. The research uses a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. A system of activities based on the game was designed for the development of numerical thinking in the second year of EGB. The implementation of the proposal was carried out on 32 students in the second year of the Juan León Mera Basic Education School. The results allowed to verify that the system of activities based on the game promoted the development of numerical thinking in second-year EGB students. In the conclusions of the study, quantitative growth was evident in the results obtained before and after implementing the system of activities proposed in the research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Play has been underrepresented in studies of Andean communities, together with the children who are its protagonists. This article, part of a larger ethnographic study, reviews and analyzes manifestations of play in rural localities of the province of Yauyos. It aims to interpret the role of play and reevaluate its importance. With the support of numerous descriptions of places of play, toys, the actors, their motivations and relations, it examines the presence of a "rhetoric of progress" and a "rhetoric of power" in Yauyos children's play. Play constitutes a dominion where the agency of boys, girls, and adolescents emerges with special clarity. The result is the structuring of a child's society that incorporates alliances and cooperation as well as conflicts and exclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the study was to design and determine the psychometric properties of an instrument to analyze sexual dimorphism in play preferences in a preschool population. A total of 231 children between 3 and 6 years of age participated. An exploratory factor analysis showed a scale with three factors. There are significant differences in the choice of male and female games. In male games, the results at 4 and 6 years of age indicate that boys show a greater predilection for these games than girls (p=.002, Cohen's d=1.031 and p<.001, Cohen's d=1.435). At ages 5 and 6, girls show a greater predilection for female games (p=.014, Cohen's d=.665 and p=.049, Cohen's d=.574) than boys. In conclusion, the psychometric analyses provide evidence of validity and reliability of the questionnaire, which can be used to analyze play behavior from 3 to 6 years of age.

In Argentina, historians have made important contributions to our understanding of the relationship between childhood and leftist politics. Despite this, our conception of 'anarchist childhoods' - and of what could be called the 'anarchist life cycle' - remains relatively limited. Therefore, this article examines the interactions between children and adults in the Argentine anarchist movement and delves into the ways in which anarchists understood childhood. The analysis focuses on the city of Rosario de Santa Fe, drawing on the contemporary press, and archival material produced by the local authorities and activists of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The central contribution of this work is its definition of anarchist pedagogy and parenting as forms of 'prefigurative politics': encapsulating the ideals of the movement, they became means of constructing, in the present, the future anarchist society.

The "La Milagro Sala" Social Integration Center (CIS) of the Isauro Arancibia Civil Association is a temporary pedagogical-housing device located in the Constitución neighborhood of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. There, young people over 18 years of age, students of the Educational Center who are homeless, participate in different spaces for reflection, workshops, and coexistence experiences, with the aim of strengthening their life projects and their capacities, to graduate with new tools. The CIS is primarily a place of enabling pause, a pause to rearm and continue. Helplessness and frustration, added to a diminished self-esteem and boycotted by the social mandates that affect us, make the processes of rearming the life project long, uphill and very mobilizing. That is why in the context of the Listening Space, as part of the implementation of the recreational activities of the space that follow the principles of the pedagogy of presence and pedagogy of tenderness, an approach to photography for recreational purposes is proposed. through a series of meetings with the photographer Omar Brest. With him they toured the CIS and the nearby streets on a photographic outing, and also shared their own approach to photography as a, to a certain extent, therapeutic tool. It is in this constant work of transformation that we allow ourselves to create and play, in scenarios and experiences that in other contexts cannot be seen as possible or simply do not happen. Through the lens of the camera, we observe, with a safe distance, everything that is felt and thought with a new non-verbal language, with a participatory playful sense, to "say" who we are.

The purpose of this research work was to understand the incidence of family dynamics on the political subjectivity of boys and girls from 7 to 10 years old, before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in Valencia Córdoba-Colombia. This research work is qualitative in nature and was based on a hermeneutic design that alludes mainly to the "act of interpreting", considered as an element for the development of the social sciences. For the collection of information, interviews with minors and focus groups with adults were implemented; where it was possible to show that in crisis contexts, families create tools that facilitate managing moments of stress such as accompaniment in the performance of homework and tasks. In this way, through the learning left by the experiences lived within the coexistence, new elements are created that the boys and girls assimilate for the construction of their own identity, which are apprehended, together with fundamental skills and abilities in the processes of political subjectivity.

Initial social behaviors through play are a fundamental tool for the development of social cognition, because the exchange of emotions, gestures, communication face to face, verbal expressions and joint attention are facilitated through the mother-child dyad. In interactions by way of play, pleasure and spontaneous activities are carried out with specific purposes that involve an active commitment, affective relationships, and imaginary situations, where rules are established, decisions are made, structures of solid knowledge are built with close relationships between objects, persons, words and meanings; also, diversity of interests and cognitive styles are expressed and individuals are constituted as members of a group. In children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the promotion of social interactions through play is relevant for the achievement of learning, language development and inclusion in the school context, because the disorder is characterized by deficiencies in reciprocity or social interaction, which makes it difficult for them to maintain and understand social relationships; due to alterations in non-verbal and verbal communication and the presence of stereotyped behaviors. The objective of this research was to describe the interactions through play in mother-child dyads with ASD. Ten children with ASD from 7 to 12 years of age participated, with diagnoses of child psychiatrists, confirmed by the interview for the Autism Diagnosis-Revised (ADI-R) sections a, b and c and the Observation Scale for the Diagnosis of Autism-2 (ADOS-2). With the difficulties observed in the evaluations of both instruments, the participants were classified in three levels of severity according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5): grade 1 when they need help, grade 2 when they need notable help, and grade 3 when they need very noticeable help. Children who obtained scores from 9 to 20 in ADOS-2 and 10 to 14 in ADI-R were grouped with grade 1, while, children who obtained scores = 21 in ADOS-2 and = 15 in ADI-R were classified with grade 2. Based on Psychobiology Laboratory research project about the study of the neurodevelopment of ASD, 15 minutes of the interaction of the mother-child dyad with ASD were videotaped, in play, in a space free of distracting stimuli and with adequate light. 10 intermediate minutes were analyzed; classifying the forms, responses and the type of game in the interaction. The forms as: a) Active vs Passive and b) Impositive vs. Non-Impositive; the answers as: a) verbal, b) object or c) gestual and the game in: a) sensorimotor, b) construction, c) rules and d) symbolic. As a result, in the mother-child dyads, high scores were observed in the qualitative alterations of the reciprocal social interaction of the children, as well as a higher percentage of active interaction with verbal and object responses. A predominance of the play of rules was observed, followed by the symbolic one, and the sensorimotor, with a lower percentage of the construction play. In the play of rules, the mothers established how to use the objects, in the symbolic, the children pretended the toys were talking, in the sensorimotor they placed the objects outside or inside the box and gave them to their mothers, while in the construction play, children build some structures taking criteria like color or form. In conclusion, the analysis of the interactions in the mother-child dyads describes in detail the characteristics of the game, as well as the areas of development that should be considered for it in the family, educational and therapeutic contexts. It is relevant that parents and educators implement interaction strategies through play, because they can modulate the behavior of boys and girls with ASD to facilitate their integral development and inclusion in the school context.

The main objective of this article was to analyze the occurrence of recognizing the other's perspective in preschool children when participating in oral tradition rule games. For this, we review the theoretical-methodological contributions of the Vygostkyan sociocultural perspective about the Recognition of the Other's Perspective (RPO) that allows preschool children to attribute beliefs, desires, emotions, and intentions to themselves and others. In this way, we show the traceability of this Higher Psychological Process (HPP) concerning the emergence of social consciousness in the child during the first year of life. In another way, the communicative acts that imply the use of external language, transitional language, and internal language, the relationship between rule handling and RPO in the participation of preschool children in rule games, are reviewed. The research followed a case study design with the participation of a 6-year-old boy during eight sessions of games with rules typical of her community of origin. The analysis model proposed the triangulation of the hermeneutic, phenomenological, and micro-genetic analysis to establish relationships between the RPO and the management of the rules in the game from different positions of the child. The analysis shows that the RPO progressively demands an awareness of the positioning of the roles in the game based on the rules to permanently update the relationship with others at the inter-psychological and intra-psychological levels [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study analysed the conceptions and perceptions of student teachers and trainee teachers, respectively, at a Latin American university, about the role of play in science teaching from a gender perspective. In the research, a Knowledge and Prior Study Inventory form was applied, aimed at revealing self-perceived knowledge, and a subsequent discussion was held. The results showed a low awareness of the meaning of the gender perspective and a restricted view of the possibilities of using games in science learning and teaching processes. The results showed that there is a lack of knowledge of the meaning of the gender perspective and a restricted view of the possibilities of using games in science teaching and learning processes, as well as conceptions of assessment and the role of the teacher which point to a traditional view of teaching and indicate the need for interventions aimed at changing this view. Differences in perceptions and conceptions have also been detected between female and male students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this research is to evaluate whether using games improves students' learning management, as reflected in their grades, and teamwork. Games were also used as a feedback strategy. The sample was made up of 156 Chilean university students, who took part in three game activities (Kahoot!, The Alphabet Game, and a card game). Student perception of the strategy was assessed, and pretests, posttests, and examinations were conducted to determine the impact of these strategies on grades. The results revealed a favorable evaluation of games as an innovative learning and teaching strategy; the pretests and posttests showed an increase in grades after the game activity. In conclusion, games are a learning tool that makes it possible to integrate skills and motivate students in a dynamic and creative manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given the low reading rates of current students, this paper defends the use of creative writing in general and haiku in particular to promote a stable and autonomous reading habit among students. Regardless of your age or level. For this, it is based on the use of the game as an educational resource, which already has a long tradition in the West that goes back to the times of Plato. And it analyzes, as examples, various haikus published by Japanese and Spanish apprentices --from Lucena and Velilla de San Antonio institutes-- between the ages of 5 and 14, in order to confirm how their writing implies a process of reading and of internalization. An internalization that breaks with the dynamics of superficial reading. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
