Application of a pedagogical kit to improve fine motor skills and learning in children from 1 to 3 years of age of the students of the IIS-2022 degree process

Abstract

This degree project in Complexivo mode is based on a technical report by the student Castillo Amalia Lorena from the Integral Child Development course at the Instituto Superior Tecnológico Simón 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 a literature review and presenting the results through data analysis. Qualitative methods were used - descriptive, bibliographic and field methods. The qualitative research focused on in-depth analysis of meanings and contexts, while the bibliographical research collected data from various sources. Field research compiled data in uncontrolled environments to describe specific phenomena. The results showed that, after application, there was a significant 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.
