Desarrollo de la pinza digital a través de material concreto en niños/as de 4-5 años de la UE Herlinda Toral

Abstract

The importance of developing the digital gripper in children is relevant at an early age, which is why the present investigation called Development of the digital gripper through concrete material in children aged 4-5 years from the EU Herlinda Toral, aimed to promote the development of the digital clamp through a didactic guide using concrete material in children from 4 to 5 years old, from the Herlinda Toral Educational Unit in the city of Cuenca - Ecuador. The problem arose from the difficulties in developing the grip of the digital pincer that the infants appeared when they were unable to grasp the pencil, the crayon, the paints, when tearing, chopping, among others, and this in turn was evidenced when performing the tasks proposed in synchronous meetings. The methodological framework was based on a socio-critical paradigm, with a qualitative approach. The type of study corresponds to action research, in terms of methodology it was applied. Techniques and instruments such as field diaries, checklists and focus groups will be applied to collect information. Contributions from different authors are considered, such as Jácome (2015), Cevallos (2011), Cabrera and Dupeyrón (2019) with themes of fine motor skills, digital caliper and concrete material, among others, who theoretically supported this work, demonstrating the importance of development of the digital caliper. The results obtained showed that the proposal was a very striking tool to develop the grasp of the digital pincer, since concrete material was obtained that facilitated manipulation, grasping and experimentation in children of initial sublevel 2 "B". It was concluded that the development of the grasp of the digital clamp will be improved through the implementation of the didactic guide in infants.
