Item Expresión corporal en la coordinación óculomanual en escolares de educación general básica preparatoria(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Pedagogía de la Actividad Física y Deporte, 2025-01-20) Caizabanda Jerez Alex Wilmer; Medina Paredes Segundo Víctor; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Pedagogía de la Actividad Física y DeporteThe present study aims to implement a guide of playful and expressive activities to improve eye-hand coordination in students of preparatory general basic education at the José Ignacio Ordoñez Educational Unit. The research followed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, including the application of a pretest and posttest to assess student performance. The Purdue Pegboard test was used as the measurement instrument, allowing for the diagnosis and analysis of improvements in eye-hand coordination after the intervention. The results showed a significant improvement in the motor skills of the students: while 95.8% were at a medium level in the pretest, 75% reached a high level in the posttest. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the implemented activity guide, which included dynamics such as threading beads, ball games, cutting exercises, and painting activities. It is concluded that playful and expressive activities are effective pedagogical tools for enhancing eye-hand coordination, facilitating not only motor development but also improving students' concentration, precision, and active participation. Continuous implementation of these interventions in the educational context and ongoing teacher training in methodologies that integrate play and motor learning are recommended.
