Propuesta didáctica gamificada para el desarrollo de la conciencia fonológica en Educación Inicial

Abstract

Phonological awareness refers to the ability to recognize and manipulate the sounds that make up words in speech. Thus, the present study aims to present a didactic proposal based on information and communication technologies (TIC) to enhance the development of phonological awareness in children from 3 to 4 years of age at the "Chiquititos" Private Early Education Center, considering individual needs. In this way, the aim is to improve the vocabulary of Early Education students, allowing students to express their feelings, thoughts and emotions. The work is in line with the qualitative approach, since it allows the development of key concepts for the research, and it is also based on the sociocritical paradigm, since it involves students, representatives and teachers. Through the different instruments applied such as field diaries, checklist, interview and the test for PECO phonological awareness, the result of which was the lack of development of phonological awareness in the students. The proposal was evaluated by different teachers who are specialists in the topic and in the area of initial education, who indicated that it is appropriate to the problem that is sought to be answered. Therefore, the development of phonological awareness is supported through a gamified proposal using the digital tool Genially. This leads to the conclusion that the use of TIC allows the design of highly beneficial gamified activities, with interactive and visually attractive contents, which keep the children's interest.
