El juego cooperativo en el desarrollo socioemocional en niños de 4 a 5 años de la Unidad Educativa Herlinda Toral.

Abstract

The present study, Curricular Integrating Work, conducted field research in pre-professional practices, revealing challenges faced by infants in expressing emotions and interacting with peers, and its impact in their socio emotional development. The research aims to propose an activity booklet based on collaborative play to enhance socioemotional development in 4 to 5-year-old children at "C" initial sub-level II of the Herlinda Toral Educational Unit. The methodology involves a case study with a sociocritical paradigm, using qualitative approaches like participant observation and semi-structured interviews, supported by instruments such as a field diary, observation guide, and interview script. The "Explorers of feelings: activities for the heart" booklet, focusing on cooperative play, was developed during this process, contributing to improved interpersonal relationships and enhanced emotional expression among children. The study underscores the positive impact on the overall teaching-learning process.
