El proceso pedagógico en niños y niñas con sobreprotección. Estudio de caso en primero de básica en una unidad educativa privada de la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

The study addresses the educational difficulties of overprotected children at the first grade level of a private educational institution in Quito, during the months of April to June 2023. Observation during professional practices revealed that these children faced challenges in their educational process, manifested through behaviors such as lack of concentration, insecurity, and isolation. The research aims to address the pedagogical process and difficulties experienced by overprotected children in the school environment. The methodology used was qualitative with a descriptive scope. Participants included children aged 5 to 6, two first-grade teachers, and ten parents with a high socioeconomic background. Results, based on observations, teacher interviews, and parent surveys, indicate that some children showed difficulties in socialization and autonomy, while all demonstrated respect towards their peers. Some children experienced problem-solving difficulties, highlighting the need for parental involvement. Methodological strategies to address these difficulties included using games as tools to promote independence and social interaction. This study is based on a detailed understanding of the challenges faced by overprotected children in the school environment and highlights effective strategies to improve their learning process and foster autonomy.
