Bolívar, in Guayaquil, semester IS-2022. The topic addressed was

"Pedagogical kit to improve fine motor skills and learning in children

aged 1-3 years at CDI Divino Niño, Balzar", with a focus on

improving fine motor skills and learning, given that difficulties were

observed in these areas and a lack of documentation of appropriate

activities (Castillo, 2022)The general objective of the study was to

apply a pedagogical kit to improve fine motor skills and learning in

children aged 1-3 years through a field study. The specific objectives

included identifying the level of motor development through

assessment instruments, selecting appropriate play activities through

improvement in children's motor skills, such as gluing, scribbling,

cutting, moulding and curling. In the pre-test, many children were in

the process or did not achieve the skills, but in the post-test, the

majority mastered the skills.

documentación de actividades adecuadas (Castillo, 2022)El objetivo

general del estudio fue aplicar un kit pedagógico para mejorar la

motricidad fina y el aprendizaje en niños de 1 a 3 años mediante

un estudio de campo. Los objetivos específicos incluyeron

identificar el nivel de desarrollo motor mediante instrumentos de

evaluación, seleccionar actividades lúdicas apropiadas a través de un

estudio bibliográfico y presentar los resultados mediante un análisis

de la información. Se utilizaron métodos cualitativos –descriptivos,

bibliográficos y de campo. La investigación cualitativa se centró en

el análisis profundo de significados y contextos, mientras que la

lograban las destrezas, pero en el post –test, la mayoría dominó las

habilidades.

Fine motor development and learning in early childhood are crucial

aspects that significantly influence children's overall growth. In this

context, the overall aim of this study is to implement a pedagogical

kit designed to improve fine motor skills and learning in children

presenting the results obtained by analysing the information

collected. To this end, various research methodologies were

employed, combining qualitative, descriptive, bibliographical and

field approaches. This multifaceted approach allows the problem to

be approached from different perspectives, ensuring a

comprehensive and detailed understanding of the observed

phenomena.

Research methodology is defined as "a fundamental tool in the field

of research that, by its structure and content, addresses the basic

elements that guide a project in a methodological and didactic way"

constitutes the fundamental axis for the development and

theoretical framework that guides the implementation of the kit,

instrument. This instrument is one of the most prominent in

observation and data collection, due to its ability to structure the

assessment with established criteria. The checklist is ideal for

evaluating a variety of aspects such as tasks, actions, processes,

learning products, or behaviours (Universidad Autonoma del Estado

de Hidalgo, 2019). In this case, the checklist was designed using

sticking and peeling the difficulty was lower. Due to these values,

was re-applied and 127 children mastered the skill with 79%, as

shown in table 1: exercises for the mastery of the tripod gripper.

Skill: To explore different possibilities of producing more elaborate

works using materials and grapho-plastic techniques, stimulating

their imagination and creativity.

In the application of the pre-test scorecard, out of 160 children who

were evaluated, 9% did not achieve the doodling skill, 66% were in

the process and 26% achieved the skill. After the activities of the

pedagogical kit were oriented, the post-test was applied again and a

notable improvement was evidenced, with 61% of infants having

mastered the skill.

Skill: Performing hand and finger movement coordination actions

such as: stringing beads with smaller holes, twisting and unscrewing,

children mastered the skill, as shown in table 3: motor coordination.

Table 4: summary of the skills shows the results of the application

of the pedagogical kit and the tests (pre and post) to the 160 children

between 1 and 3 years old in the different MIES child care centres,

showing that in the pre-test 58% of the children were in the process

and only 36% managed to master the skill, after the application of

the pedagogical kit and in the post-test 29% of the children were in

the process of acquiring the skill and 71% of them had mastered it,

improving the development of fine motor skills.

This study investigated the effectiveness of the application of the

Pedagogical Kit to improve fine motor skills in children from 1 to 3

Guayaquil. The results indicated that both the materials and the

proposed activities were positive, as 71% of the children included in

tools and specific exercises, allowed the children to practice and

overall increase in their confidence and autonomy when performing

effectiveness from various perspectives, including formative,

motor skills and optimise the teaching-learning process in the

educational setting.

self-expression, helping to raise children's self-esteem and

independence.

and activities have a significant impact over a longer period of time.
