La danza como estrategia pedagógica para mejorar la atención en niños de transición

Abstract

This educational intervention article aims to analyze how dance, implemented through a series of strategies, contributes to improving the attention of kindergarten students at the Baby's Home Preschool in the city of Barranquilla. Prior to this intervention, an investigative process was carried out regarding the problem situation identified, which involved observing the children, interviewing teachers, reflecting, and formulating the proposal. The problem addressed in this research has become evident throughout the school year, during which it has been observed that the children face difficulties in maintaining order, frequently make mistakes during classes, lose personal items, and show a lack of interest in tasks and games— actions that indicate they experience attention difficulties. The study was conducted from a qualitative perspective, following the guidelines of descriptive and projective research. In this regard, information was gathered from different sources, such as teacher interviews and children observations, which were subsequently analyzed for the design of a pedagogical strategy aimed at improving attention in kindergarten children at the Baby’s Home Educational Center in the city of Barranquilla. Following the design of the proposal, its implementation is carried out through an intervention in which dance will be used as a guiding tool and a source of support to improve attention in a fun and meaningful way for these children.
