Guía metodológica para desarrollar la motricidad fina a través de recursos didácticos con material reciclado en niños de 4 a 5 años

Abstract

The research proposed as a methodological guide to develop fine motor skills through didactic resources with recyclable material in children from 4 to 5 years old, aims that infants perform precise movements with hands and fingers with the support of sight, so that when performing academic and daily life activities such as tearing, painting, cutting, grooming, feeding and dressing, they perform them autonomously and acquiring significant learning, The innovative and creative use of didactic resources will attract the infant's attention to interact with them, because by observing them the child will analyze and think about how to interact with the didactic material, taking all this information to his brain, giving rise to the mobility of the muscles in his hands. In this way, it contributes significantly to teachers proposing didactic resources with recycled material, as they are economical, durable, attractive, functional, and customizable, and support the development of motor skills, as they enable the child to manipulate them. In order to give rise to the present work, a mixed approach was followed, using the observation technique and instruments such as field diaries and surveys, it was possible to demonstrate the difficulty that the infants had in carrying out fine motor activities such as drawing, painting, cutting out, among others, because it was difficult for them to hold the pencil or scissors correctly, either because they were not strong enough to hold the pencil or the scissors to pick up the paint. In addition, the explanatory method was applied, based on the data collected and the characteristics of the infants' motor development, didactic resources were proposed with which to work on visual-motor coordination and the technique of the digital tweezers, whose skills should be acquired by the infants in the initial sub-level II. In addition, the learning experiences methodology was used to develop the activities, in which the aim is for the child to experiment, investigate, explore, and manipulate, since developing the fine motor area will allow the infants to have greater personal, social, emotional, and cognitive development.
