Item Actividades ludo recreativas en la autoestima de los estudiantes educación general básica elemental(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Pedagogía de la Actividad Física y Deporte, 2025-01-21) Masaquiza Masaquiza Alex Edwin; Mayorga Ortiz Diego Javier; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Pedagogía de la Actividad Física y DeporteThis research addresses the issue of low self-esteem levels among adolescents, specifically second-year high school students at "Capitán Giovanni Calles" Educational Unit. The main objective was to promote recreational activities to improve students' self-esteem. A quasi-experimental design with an applied approach and longitudinal cut was used. The population consisted of 30 students, who participated in an intervention based on recreational activities. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, a validated and standardized instrument, was applied to assess self-esteem levels before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS software, applying non-parametric tests like Wilcoxon due to the non-normal distribution of the data. The results indicated a significant improvement in self-esteem, with students shifting from low levels (median = 1) in the pretest to high levels (median = 3) in the posttest. All participants experienced significant increases. The conclusions emphasize the effectiveness of recreational activities in strengthening self-esteem and promoting social skills such as teamwork and collaboration. This study provides evidence supporting the inclusion of recreational dynamics in educational curricula as a tool to enhance adolescents' socio-emotional well-being.
