Abstract

Abstract: This study focuses on analyzing how civic education, ethics, and integrity are integrated into the teaching practices of early childhood education teachers at the private early childhood education center Los Pitufitos. The research was carried out using a qualitative approach with a descriptive and exploratory scope, through a case study. Interviews were used as the main research technique, along with a questionnaire, in order to examine how the curricular integration of civic education, ethics, and integrity is applied in teachers classroom practices. The results show that teachers recognize the importance of teaching values from an early age and integrating them in a transversal way into lesson planning. This is done through games, active learning methodologies, and daily routines. In addition, the study found that the integration of civic education, ethics, and integrity helps support children s emotional and cognitive development, as well as the formation of responsible and respectful citizens. It also promotes positive coexistence in the classroom and strengthens the role of teachers throughout the educational process.
