Niveles de desarrollo de la expresión corporal y motricidad, en la Educación Inicial modalidad virtual

El objetivo del estudio se centró en caracterizar los niveles de desarrollo de la expresión corporal y motricidad alcanzados mediante la modalidad virtual, en un grupo de niños de la escuela de Educación Básica Víctor Murillo Soto, en Ecuador, al finalizar el período lectivo 2020-2021. Se realizó una investigación transversal-no experimental, mediante un estudio de campo con muestreo no probabilístico, intencional y estratificado integrado por 32 niños, sus padres y un docente. Se operacionalizaron las variables educación en modalidad virtual, expresión corporal y motricidad en cuatro dimensiones: percepción de resultado, estrategias de implementación, percepción de su impacto y niveles de desarrollo y se aplicaron un cuestionario, una entrevista estructurada y una guía de observación; además de, una escala de valoración con tres niveles de desarrollo. Los resultados evidenciaron que los padres de familia, se mostraron a favor de la modalidad presencial en relación al alcance de objetivos de aprendizajes motrices, de aprovechar los espacios físicos en las instituciones educativas infantiles y de lograr una educación de calidad para sus hijos; se reveló una contradicción entre el discurso docente y los niveles reales de desarrollo de la expresión corporal y motricidad infantil, en correspondencia con las exigencias curriculares del subnivel y bajos niveles de desarrollo en la expresión corporal y motricidad, al finalizar el período lectivo, debido a que solo una tercera parte de los niños logra la categoría de adquirido.

SÍNTESE O objetivo do estudo foi caracterizar os níveis de desenvolvimento da expressão corporal e das habilidades motoras alcançados através da modalidade virtual, em um grupo de crianças da Escola de Educação Básica Víctor Murillo Soto, no Equador, no final do ano letivo de 2020-2021. Uma pesquisa transversal e não experimental foi realizada através de um estudo de campo com amostragem não-probabilística, intencional e estratificada de 32 crianças, seus pais e um professor. As variáveis educação virtual, expressão corporal e habilidades motoras foram operacionalizadas em quatro dimensões: percepção dos resultados, estratégias de implementação, percepção de seu impacto e níveis de desenvolvimento, e um questionário, uma entrevista estruturada e um guia de observação foram aplicados, assim como uma escala de classificação com três níveis de desenvolvimento. Os resultados mostraram que os pais eram a favor da modalidade presencial em relação à realização dos objetivos de aprendizagem motora, de aproveitar os espaços físicos das instituições educacionais das crianças e de conseguir uma educação de qualidade para seus filhos; Foi revelada uma contradição entre o discurso dos professores e os níveis reais de desenvolvimento da expressão física e das habilidades motoras das crianças, de acordo com as exigências curriculares do sub-nível, e os baixos níveis de desenvolvimento da expressão física e das habilidades motoras no final do ano letivo, uma vez que apenas um terço das crianças atinge a categoria de adquiridas.

The objective of the study focused on characterizing the levels of development of body expression and motor skills achieved through the virtual modality, in a group of children from the Víctor Murillo Soto Basic Education school, in Ecuador, at the end of the 20-2021 school year. A non-experimental, cross-sectional research was carried out, through a field study with non-probabilistic, intentional and stratified sampling made up of 32 children, their parents and a teacher. The variables education in virtual modality, body expression and motor skills were operationalized in four dimensions: perception of result, implementation strategies, perception of its impact and levels of development and a questionnaire, a structured interview and an observation guide were applied; in addition, a rating scale with three levels of development. The results showed that the parents were in favor of the face-to-face modality in relation to the achievement of motor learning objectives, to take advantage of the physical spaces in children's educational institutions and to achieve a quality education for their children; a contradiction was revealed between the teaching discourse and the real levels of development of child body language and motor skills, in correspondence with the curricular requirements of the sublevel and low levels of development in body language and motor skills, at the end of the school period, due to that only a third of the children achieve the category of acquired.

The image of physical education teachers held by students from two universities / A imagem dos professores de educação física de alunos de duas universidades

ABSTRACT This study analyses the image that students of initial physical education teacher education (PETE) from two different universities (University of Alicante- UA, Spain, and Central University of Ecuador-UCE) have of physical education teachers. This qualitative and comparative study uses a metaphorical approach. Qualitative methodology was used to analyse the participating students metaphors in order to explore whether or not they suit the current learning and teaching perspectives in the field of Physical Education, and whether the images conveyed any differences between universities due to the influence of the context in the Physical Education teacher image and in gender stereotypes. A total of 190 students participated in the study (n= 105 men; n= 85 women). The software AQUAD 7 was used to process the data. The results showed that there were no obvious gender differences that keep women away from physical activity. As well as not excessive differences due to the different context of the participants.

RESUMO Este estudo analisa a imagem que alunos de educação inicial de professores de educação física de duas universidades diferentes (Universidade de Alicante - UA, Espanha e Universidade Central do Equador - UCE) possuem professores de educação física. Este estudo qualitativo e comparativo utiliza uma abordagem metafórica. A metodologia qualitativa foi utilizada para analisar as metáforas dos alunos participantes, a fim de explorar se elas se adequam ou não às perspectivas atuais de aprendizagem e ensino no campo da Educação Física, e se as imagens transmitiram alguma diferença entre as universidades devido à influência do contexto na imagem do professor de Educação Física e nos estereótipos de gênero. Um total de 190 alunos participaram do estudo (n= 105 homens; n= 85 mulheres). O software AQUAD 7 foi utilizado para processar os dados. Os resultados mostraram que não havia diferenças de gênero óbvias que afastassem as mulheres da atividade física. Assim como não há diferenças excessivas devido ao contexto diferente dos participantes.

Conocimiento práctico para la enseñanza del lenguaje oral y escrito de estudiantes de educación inicial: Una aproximación desde la elaboración de mapas conceptuales / Prospective early childhood teachers' practical knowledge to teach oral language and literacy: An approach from conceptual mapping

La investigación sobre las prácticas de enseñanza de los educadores ha puesto de relieve la importancia de las cogniciones que subyacen a las prácticas pedagógicas. El conocimiento práctico de los educadores define el conocimiento que generan los educadores mismos, como resultado de la integración y mutua influencia de fuentes teóricas y prácticas y que orienta su quehacer en el aula. Esta noción ha sido aplicada para abordar el conocimiento de los educadores sobre las diversas dimensiones que integran su trabajo profesional. El objetivo del estudio que se presenta fue examinar las dimensiones del conocimiento práctico para la enseñanza del lenguaje oral y escrito evidenciadas por estudiantes de educación inicial en práctica final, a través de la elaboración y explicación de mapas conceptuales. Participaron 26 estudiantes de ocho programas universitarios de formación profesional de Santiago (Chile). Los resultados de este estudio cualitativo descriptivo mostraron una mayor representación de tres de las seis dimensiones examinadas: conocimiento de la materia (lenguaje oral y alfabetización inicial), conocimiento de estrategias pedagógicas para su enseñanza y conocimiento de los niños a su cargo. El conocimiento del desarrollo y el aprendizaje en la infancia, de los propósitos de la enseñanza de esta materia y del currículum fueron representados en menos de la mitad de los mapas conceptuales. Se analizan estos resultados desde la perspectiva de la investigación reciente acerca de la enseñanza del lenguaje oral y la alfabetización durante los primeros años y la formación profesional de los educadores a cargo del nivel inicial.

Teachers' practical knowledge has become an increasingly relevant issue for educational research during the last decades. The concept of practical knowledge refers to the cognitions that underlie to teachers' actions, including teachers' knowledge and beliefs and attempts to grasp the knowledge and skills that are "unique to the teaching profession." Insights into the categories that constitute teachers' practical knowledge have suggested that it is a multi-dimensional concept that entails several dimensions: knowledge of student learning and development, subject matter, purposes and goals for teaching the subject, curriculum, instructional strategies (Beijaard & Verloop, 1996; Meijer, Verloop, & Beijaard, 2002). As part of their professional development, teachers need to know about language and its relevance to support general cognitive development and specific subject matter competencies. A great deal is known about how young children learn language and literacy and how their learning can be supported in the educational context. Literacy is a secondary system that depends on oral language as the primary system, so effective early childhood teachers need to know a good deal about language and literacy in order to organize learning opportunities for children during the first years of life. Early childhood teachers who have better training show better educational practices, more appropriate to children's development, are more sensitive to their needs and show more informed understanding of appropriate educational practices (Shonkoff & Phillips, 2000). This study aimed to examine the practical knowledge evidenced by prospective early childhood teachers in their last year of preparation to teach language and early literacy to children from 0 to 6 years. 26 prospective early childhood teachers in their final professional practice, from 8 university teacher education programs located in the city of Santiago - Chile (2-4 students from each program). Data were collected through the elicitation and verbal explanation of concept maps (Novak, 2008; Cañas, et al., 1997; Rovira, 2003) a procedure used in previous studies in which teachers identify and relate concepts considered important for teaching, organizing them into a schema (Meijer, Verloop, & Beijaard, 2002). A descriptive qualitative design based on the Grounded Theory (Strauss & Corbin, 2002) was conducted. Results evidenced the majority of conceptual maps included three of the six dimensions examined: knowledge of subject matter (oral language and initial literacy), knowledge of pedagogical strategies to teach this subject matter and knowledge of children. Phonology and phonological awareness were identified as the most relevant learning goals in the early years and activities like phonological segmentation as appropriate practices to reach them. Vocabulary was also identified as a relevant goal and different kind of texts, particularly children stories as important pedagogical resources. Knowledge of subject matter and pedagogical strategies to teach language of literacy was supported by recent research base, even tough, schemas and explanations did not evidenced the complex integration of language and literacy learning, oral language and literacy were presented as different skills, that had to be taught at different ages and using specific pedagogical strategies. Knowledge of children and their context was also considered in most of the conceptual maps, but there was no evidence of a systematic assessment of children strengths and difficulties, in order to organize the learning opportunities. This research expands international evidence on teachers' practical knowledge, focusing on prospective early childhood teacher education, which has not been examined before. According to these preliminary results, the early childhood teacher education programs, recognized by a panel of experts as the best of the country, are not preparing their students to address children needs. More research is needed in order to obtain a more complete picture of early childhood teacher education to teach language and literacy.

Inferencias sobre un texto narrativo en contextos de interacción en la educación inicial / Inferences over a narrative text in contexts of interaction in early childhood education

La investigación que da lugar al presente artículo se enmarca en la Psicología Educativa de corte cultural. Explora las relaciones entre las características de las interacciones establecidas para propiciar la interpretación de un texto narrativo y las inferencias que los niños hacen sobre él. Un total de 44 niños repartidos en cuatro grupos de preescolar participó en el estudio. El diseño es de tipo descriptivo-exploratorio, con dos clases de análisis: cualitativo -análisis del discurso- y cuantitativo -análisis de redes sociales-, para procesar los datos. Se encontró que los niños cuyas maestras propician más interacciones cognitivas de alta demanda, proponiendo el análisis de los aspectos implícitos en el texto, logran mayor elaboración inferencial, mientras que los niños cuyas docentes proponen menos interacciones con discusiones principalmente sobre información explícita en el texto, hacen pocas inferencias y con nivel de menor elaboración.

This research explores the relationship between the characteristics of interactions established to favor the narrative text interpretation and the inferences that children make on it. This is marked in the educative, cognitive and cultural psychologist. In this research participated four groups of kinder garden with a total of forty four children. This was a descriptive and explorative design. Was realized a discursive analysis and a social nets analysis to process information. It was find that children which teachers favor more interactions and better interactions raised a textual analyses got a high inferencial elaboration, and children which teachers proposed low interaction raised discussions about explicit information in the text, realized a few inferences and with a low level of elaboration.

La interacción en el aula: una vía para posibilitar la comprensión inferencial de textos narrativos en niños de preescolar / Interaction in the classroom: one way to facilitate the understanding inference of narrative texts in children of preschooler

La investigación explora las relaciones entre las características de las interacciones establecidas para propiciar la interpretación de un texto narrativo y las inferencias que los niños hacen sobre él. Ésta se enmarca en la psicología educativa, cognitiva y cultural. 4 grupos de preescolar participaron en el estudio con un total de 48 niños. El diseño fue descriptivo exploratorio. Se hizo un análisis cualitativo - análisis del discurso - y uno cuantitativo - análisis de redes sociales - para procesar los datos. Se encontró que los niños cuya maestra propiciaba más interacciones alrededor del texto buscando una comprensión como transacción texto -lector, lograron mayor elaboración inferencial y los niños cuyas docentes propusieron interacciones en las que planteaban discusiones sobre información explícita en el texto, realizaron pocas inferencias y de menor complejidad.

This research explores the relationship between the characteristics of interactions established to favor the narrative text interpretation and the inferences that children make on it. This is marked in the educative, cognitive and cultural psychologist. In this research participated four groups of kinder garden with a total of forty eight children. This was a descriptive and explorative design. Was realized a discursive analysis and a social nets analysis to process information. It was find that children which teacher favor more interactions and better interactions raised a textual analyses got a high inferencial elaboration, and children which teachers proposed low interaction raised discussions about explicit information in the text, realized a few inferences and with a low level of elaboration.
