Talleres de estimulación de la atención selectiva para el área de la Matemática, desde un enfoque de euritmia pedagógica, en los niños de séptimo de básica en la Unidad educativa Particular “San Luis Gonzaga”, del sector de la Armenia, en el período 2022.

Abstract

This research work focuses on the eurythmy approach, which is the art of movement fused with painting, theater, music, expressed through body gestures. The investigative work is carried out through the quantitative research approach with an action-research design. The starting problem is identified as the limited performance in mathematics and levels of inattention observable in 87 boys and girls of the "San Luis Gonzaga" Private Educational Unit. Through the application of the R. Brickenkamp d2 attention test, the level of development of selective attention is identified, determining the intensity of processing and the tracking of instructions. To intervene, twelve workshops were designed to promote selective attention with the pedagogical eurythmy approach. We proceeded to tabulate the results of the pre-test taken in the initial phase (I) and a second post-test taken in the final phase (f), after the implementation of the proposed project. The interpretation of the results is made on the basis of tables of scores whose equivalences are identified in the test scales. The data analysis is performed using the normality analysis in IBM SPSS, for non-parametric data the application of Wilcoxon test statistics and the statistical size and potential of the analysis data using G*POWER. The Wilcoxon test determines that there is a great difference between the initial and final values of the application of the d2 attention test, as well as the size and statistical potential that also presents very high values determining that there is a notorious improvement in the attentional and inhibitory control of the students after the applied workshop, as well as an increase in speed and precision when developing the final test.
