Barra de equilibrio Montessori en el desarrollo del control postural en niños de 4 a 5 años

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to establish the use of the Montessori balance beam in the development of postural control in children aged 4 to 5 years. It consisted of theoretically establishing the use of the Montessori balance beam in the development of postural control in children aged 4 to 5 years. It consisted of theoretically establishing the use of various sources such as scientific articles, magazines, books and repositories, which allowed us to gather information that was essential for the study of the variables and the fulfillment of the research objectives such as: “Theoretically determining the characteristics of the balance beam in the development of postural control”, “finding the relationship between the Montessori balance beam in the development of postural control” and also “Identifying the level of development of postural control”. The methodology is based on a qualitative bibliographical research, which allowed us to apply the following instruments: a checklist with the observation technique in children and teachers, the instrument “open question script” with the interview technique that allowed us to complete this research. The need to conduct research at the “17 de Abril” Educational Unit is due to the little knowledge that was had about the Montessori balance beam in the development of postural control. After observation, it can be stated that the Montessori balance beam is a great contribution to the development of postural control and favors gross motor development. Keywords: balance beam, postural control, development, motor.
