Estrategia educativa para potenciar el aprendizaje en niñas y niños de 4 años de edad del Centro de Desarrollo Infantil Chispitas de ternura de la Universidad Técnica del Norte de la ciudad de Ibarra

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to design an educational strategy to stimulate learning in pre-school aged children in the day care Chispitas de Ternura in Ibarra, Ecuador. Based upon analysis of the results obtained, we used the interpretive paradigm. Techniques used included surveys and observation via a questionnaire and observation sheet. The study is based on psychological foundations, which explain the relationship of cognitive theory with the topic of study; physiologically, it is aligned with humanist theory, detailing education as a factor of humanity; pedagogically, with the contributions of the theories of Montessori; and finally, sociologically, it relates to socio-critical theory. It has foundations in descriptive, documentary, and field research. Methods used include inductive-deductive, analytic-synthetical and statistical. The general conclusion was that the teachers of the daycare do not know theoretical fundamentals to enhance the learning of the children of 4 years of age.
