Enfoque Reggio Emilia y las provocaciones pedagógicas para el desarrollo del pensamiento científico con niños de 5 y 6 años

Abstract

The Curricular Integration Project (ICT), called The Reggio Emilia approach and the pedagogical provocations for the development of scientific thinking with 5 and 6 year old children, arises from the experience acquired at the Santana Educational Unit. Its objective is to design a website that compiles pedagogical provocations for teachers, where it can be taken to the classrooms and enhance the development of scientific thinking with high school sub-level children. The theoretical contributions of Vecchi (2013), Peralta (2008), Hoyuelos (2009) and the Ministry of Education (2014) allow us to understand that the stage of brain plasticity is essential to build learning through exploration and experimentation. The methodology is the case study with a qualitative approach and interpretive paradigm. For the diagnostic phase, techniques are used, such as participant observation, semi-structured interview and bibliographic review. The example of a good educational practice could be evidenced through the implementation of the contextualized approach to the Ecuadorian environment, respect for reflections and questions issued by the children, significant experiences based on curiosity and manipulation of elements. Finally, pedagogical provocations called “Exploring with Reggio Emilia” were presented in order to start a new theme, with curiosity being the driving force for learning.
