The application of the strategy “play and learn” for the gross motor skills development in 3-year-old at “Virgen del Rosario” kindergarten of the city Tacna in 2017

Abstract

Man evolves in parallel in the processes of neurological maturation, as well as in the progression of psychomotor control (muscular movement of the head, arms and legs) in a synchronous manner. Objective; to determine the effectiveness of the strategy "I play and learn" in the gross psychomotor development in the areas of laterality, balance, spatial and temporal in 3-year-old children. Material and Methods; quantitative approach, pre-experimental design. The sample consisted of 15 children. The instrument used was a checklist, "I play and learn" Strategy Guide. It was applied to the same sample in two moments, one before and one after the intervention strategy. Results: 86.67% have a low level of notion of laterality, 53.33% have a low level of notion of balance, 53.33% have a high level of spatial notion, 60.00% have a low level of temporal notion, 73.33% have a high level. After the application of the strategy in the exit test, 100% of the children presented a high level of all dimensions. Conclusion: The application of the "I Play and Learn" strategy improves the level of gross psychomotor development of 3-year-old children.
