Abstract

The following investigation called “Play and socialization of children of initial level II”, was carried out in a child center located in Quito, in which it was observed that the educators do not use game to promote the socialization processes on infants, which impairs the improvement of social skills in the group of children. The study has focused on exploring answers to the question: what is the relationship between play and socialization processes in children in sublevel II of initial education? For which a qualitative methodology was used, the support of techniques such as bibliographic search and participant observation, instruments such as the questionnaire, field diary and interviews were used. The main ones highlight that in he observed educational experience there is no application or use of the game for socialization, the teacher, although she occasionally uses the didactic game, does not resort to the game to promote the socialization of children on the other hand, nor does she use playful strategies for teaching-learning processes in which they prefer to use worksheets or books for activities, wasting spaces and lay opportunities for interaction between and with children. Given these results, the need to implement ply in early childhood education is established as a conclusion so that socialization is promoted and children’s social skills are fostered.
