“La utilización de la tecnología en el desarrollo del lenguaje de los niños de 4 años”

Abstract

The comparative research establish the connection between technology use and language development in 4-year-old children. Furthermore, this research included 34 kids who attend to Preschool at Sagrada Familia School. The 34 kids were assigned into two groups, an experimental group and a control group. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used throughout the information gathering techniques. Therefore, to get the kids’ language development level, language sub test from psychomotor development test TEPSI was used. The test’s images were used with the experimental group while technology was used with the control group. The test results were obtained and they were analyzed by a statistics program. Additionally, the technology use promoted the language assessment obtaining appropriate scores in relation to the kids’ age. Definitely, technology has to be taken as a supportive key to language development on digital natives. It is in that way how new research areas emerge about technology and its therapeutic use in early stimulation areas.
