Desarrollo del ámbito de relaciones con el medio natural en niños de 3 a 5 años mediante el juego. Estrategia didáctica

Abstract

The methodological proposal aims to design didactic strategies based on play to strengthen the relationship between children aged 3 to 5 years and the natural environment. The objective is to promote meaningful learning through sensory, exploratory, and playful experiences that encourage interaction with their surroundings. This study addresses the issue of children's lack of contact with nature due to traditional methodologies, excessive use of technology, and limitations in educational spaces. To tackle this situation, a qualitative research approach was used, based on a literature review and the development of a guide with activities designed to enhance curiosity, exploration, and respect for the environment. The document is organized into several sections. First, the problem statement and justification are presented. Then, the theoretical foundation regarding the relationship between the natural environment and early childhood learning is discussed. Next, the applied methodology is detailed, followed by the description of the proposed didactic activities and their respective evaluations.
