Estrategias Pedagógicas para el Desarrollo De La Inteligencia Musical Mediante el Método Dalcroze en Inicial 2

Abstract

The objective of this thesis was to design a methodological guide based on the Dalcroze method in order to promote the development of Musical Intelligence in children of Initial II at the “Carlos Rubira Infante” Educational Unit. The issue identified at the institution revealed deficiencies in the development of musical skill due to non-innovative teaching methods and the lack of playful activities, which limited active participation, emotional expression, and motor coordination of the students. Through a qualitative methodology, direct observations and interviews with the teacher were conducted to identify the main difficulties in the children´s musical development and the teaching strategies used. The collected data allowed the design of practical and dynamic activities based on the Dalcroze method, integrating body movement, rhythm, and improvisation, adapted to the cognitive, emotional, and physical characteristics of the children. The intervention proposal was evaluated qualitatively by observing the students´ reactions, their participation, and improvements in their rhythmic and expressive skills. The results showed a significant increase in the children´s ability to follow rhythm, coordinate movement, and express emotions through music. Additionally, an increase in their motivation and enthusiasm for participating in musical activities was observed. In conclusion, the implementation of the Dalcroze method, though the proposed methodological guide, proved to be effective in promoting the development of musical intelligence in the children of Initial II, improving both the teaching process and learning outcomes in the classroom.
