Efectividad de la aplicación ABC Dinos en el desarrollo de habilidades grafomotrices en niños de 4 a 6 años: estudio comparativo en la Unidad Educativa Isabel Tobar

Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzed the effectiveness of the ABC Dinos educational application in the development of graphomotor skills in children aged 4 to 6 years at the Unidad Educativa Particular I.T.L, located in the canton of Quito, province of Pichincha. The overall objective was to evaluate this effectiveness through a descriptive-comparative study with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 28 students divided into two groups: an experimental group of 21 first-year EGB students, who used ABC Dinos as a complementary teaching resource, and a control group of 7 Pre-K II students, who worked exclusively with traditional methodology. The descriptive method was used with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design; the instrument used was a 10-item checklist, validated by expert judgment with an S-CVI index of 1.00 and a KR-20 reliability of 0.75. The results showed that the experimental group achieved an average score of 85.7% on the posttest, compared to 4.3% for the control group, suggesting that the planned pedagogical use of ABC Dinos is associated with greater consolidation of graphomotor skills.
