Play-based activities as a tool to enhance learning in preschool children in Querecotillo-Sullana

Abstract

The research was interested in investigating a recurring problem in children of initial education: the deficient level of achievement in notions of motor skills, sensory and reflexive development. For this reason, an applied quantitative investigation of pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test was proposed in a single group, with the aim of determining whether the integration of children's games stimulates learning in a sample of 20 5-year-old children from the Initial Educational Institution n ° 526 of Querecotillo (Sullana), who were administered a guided test designed based on figures to measure their level of receptive learning and discovery. In conclusion, it was determined that the structuring and application of games based on logical blocks, the use of balls and the story Little Red Riding Hood, significantly favors children's learning, as confirmed when comparing frequencies and means of the pre and post-test.
