Abstract

Abstract:The research about Media Competences, in children from 4 to 8 years of the schools: "San Pedro Pascual" and "La Providencia", in the school year 2018-2019, in Pichincha Ecuador, is determined as a general objective, the diagnosis of the level, abilities and competences in the media of children. As a reference of the mentioned schools, with an amount of 237 students; different methods were applied such as: Inductive approach that helps to concrete general conclusions and Deductive approach that stablishes specific conclusions. For the statistics, a survey was applied. It showed a weakness in the area of values, specifically in what refers to gender stereotypes. Finally, we conclude that media competences in children of these ages are not developed and for that reason the methodological strategies are not appropriate. The abilities, competences and skills are not enough to fulfil the children s necessities. It does not allow us to be involved intelligently, critically and democratically in the educational process.
