Yoga infantil para fomentar un comportamiento positivo en los infantes de 3 a 4 años de la Unidad Educativa Manuel J. Calle.

Abstract

The development of this ICT project (Curricular Integration Work) aims to promote positive behavior through children's yoga activities applied in the field of body expression and motor skills in infants aged 3 to 4 years in the initial sublevel 1, group 1 A of the Manuel J. Calle Educational Unit in the city of Cuenca. It is observed that students exhibit different types of disruptive behaviors for their age, such as kicking, offensive language towards their peers, tantrums, pulling, fights among classmates, becoming a collective problem, hindering the teacher from teaching satisfactorily. The research is based on a qualitative approach, with an interpretative paradigm, and with an action research methodology aimed at understanding and interpreting reality, based on instruments such as participant observation, interviews with the teacher and parents of the classroom to diagnose the behavior of infants both at school and at home. After conducting a thorough diagnosis of the behavior of the children within and outside the institution and their respective homes, a series of concerning patterns has been identified. Among them, there is a lack of basic social skills, such as sharing and cooperation, as well as difficulties in impulse control and appropriate expression of emotions. Additionally, there is a tendency towards disruptive behaviors, such as frequent tantrums and aggression towards peers. These findings underscore the importance of implementing early interventions and strategies for emotional and social education to promote healthy development in this crucial stage of childhood, which is expected to be achieved through the application of children's yoga activities to enhance positive behavior in infants.
