Abstract

The research arises as a result of having evidenced the need of virtual educational strategies to develop the creativity of students between 3 and 5 years old, in the Early Education Innovation Center of UNAE, Azogues, Cañar-Ecuador. The purpose was to generate a flexible and versatile educational proposal based on the construction game with unstructured didactic materials as an innovative teaching-learning strategy that allows to increase the creative capacity of the infants at the center. Calero (2011) is considered the main theoretical reference, who defends the idea that educating in creativity is educating for change. The project was carried out with the participation of 18 boys and girls, with their families and their teachers. The methodological framework responds to the socio-critical paradigm, under a qualitative approach, the application method is the Participatory Action Research and the use of research techniques such as: participant observation, documentary analysis, interviews and focus groups. The results obtained are framed in the identification of strengths and weaknesses, as well as the effects caused during the virtual piloting based on the construction game with unstructured didactic materials as part of the training process, which served as a basis for the design of an educational proposal aimed at increasing creativity in childhood
