Guía de estrategias didácticas para el aprendizaje de habilidades socioemocionales en infantes de 4 años del CEI “Rita Chávez” cantón - Cuenca.

Abstract

The Curricular Integration Work stems from pre-professional practices at the "Rita Chávez" Early Education Center in Cañaribamba parish, Cuenca. It aims to design eight didactic strategies based on Montessori principles, focusing on strengthening affective bonds, improving coexistence, recognizing and regulating emotions, and fostering autonomy in children. Drawing on theories by Gómez et al. (2016), Edwards et al. (1998), Foschi (2014), and Hernández et al. (2021), the methodology used is a socio-critical paradigm with a qualitative case study approach. During the diagnostic phase, tools like a teacher's question guide, an observation guide, and a children's rating scale were applied. In the data analysis and interpretation phase, problems related to didactic attention were evident, as well as inappropriate behaviors and difficulties in reflecting on the children's attitudes. Based on the above, the digital resource "Emotions in Action", as the main scientific resource and result of the research, was designed with the purpose of supporting and guiding the teacher and children in a didactic and practical way.
