Las canciones infantiles y la coordinación de los segmentos gruesos en niños de 5 años

Abstract

The present research focused on the study of “Children’s songs and the coordination of gross body segments in 5-year-old children.” The general objective was to examine the use of children's songs and their relationship to the coordination of gross motor segments in 5-yearold children. To achieve this, a bibliographic review based on reliable sources was carried out. The methodology applied followed an interpretative paradigm with a qualitative approach, which facilitated the study and understanding of the behavior and reality of the phenomenon. It was a basic research project, as it aimed to generate new knowledge to complement existing information. The research modality was documentary and bibliographic, which allowed the collection of information throughout the entire study. In addition, field research was conducted to obtain verified and reliable data. Two main techniques were used: direct observation and interviews, with their respective instruments—a structured observation sheet and an interview guide—validated by experts in the educational field. These tools were applied to 21 children and 2 teachers from the “San Isidro Labrador” Basic Education School. The results obtained through the observation sheet demonstrated that children's songs are an appropriate resource to enhance the coordination of gross motor segments. It is concluded that the pedagogical use of children's songs promotes body movement and motor learning in 5-year-old children.
