Experiencia de aprendizaje desde el modelo Reggio Emilia para el desarrollo emocional en el nivel Inicial 2B del Centro de Educación Inicial Alonso Torres

Abstract

The purpose of education is to empower students and provide them with the necessary tools to face life from all areas, so it is important to include activities that support emotional development in the classroom. In view of this, according to what has been observed in the pre-professional practices, infants experience various emotionally charged moments that interrupt their educational process. For this reason, the present work was aimed at contributing to the emotional development of infants from 4 to 5 years old, through a learning experience called "All my development at once". In order to achieve this objective, the research process began with a theoretical foundation, in which the Ministry of Education MINEDUC (2019), Prado (2018) and Early Education Curriculum (2014) address the emotional development of infants within the teaching-learning process, the importance of emotional education at this stage and the relationship it has with the learning process. The work was carried out under a qualitative approach, socio-critical paradigm and action research methodology. According to the phases that this methodology proposes, the diagnosis was carried out through the application of three instruments. After the analysis, the need to support the differentiation of emotions, promote spaces to develop empathy and contribute to the emotional regulation of infants was evidenced as a result. In relation to these findings, the learning experience "All my development at once" was designed and implemented for four weeks. Finally, an evaluation of the implementation was carried out, which showed that the activities and materials were focused on contributing to the emotional development of infants and were based on the Reggio Emilia model.
