Abstract

The purpose of this methodological proposal is to promote theatrical art in early childhood education, which, when worked on, will contribute to the improvement of self-esteem and control of emotions. The problem arises through the observation obtained from the pre-professional practices where it was evidenced that within an educational institution, the teacher in charge of the initial level did not take into account the emotional part and the self-concept of the children, focusing only on complying with the curriculum and advancing in the contents, this triggered problems in their learning, such as doing work by force, without motivation or enthusiasm to know the result of their own work. For the diagnosis of this problem two methods were used, the first one called documentary research and the second one called action research, on the other hand, for the collection of information the field diary and the observation guide were used as instruments, all this information allowed as a result the elaboration of a methodological guide, which is divided into three units: dramatic play, puppets and dramatization of stories, in each unit three playful group activities are proposed, with their respective recommendations and their evaluation instrument. Finally, the general work is organized in three phases: in the first phase there is a detailed description of the problem, with its general and specific objectives; in the second phase the theoretical construction, where the main conceptual categories and the development of the chapters are defined; and in the third phase there is the proposal entitled learning is hidden behind the curtain.
