Rincón “Semillitas de la sabiduría Waldorf” para niños de 3 a 4 años del Centro de Educación Inicial Alonso Torres.

Abstract

This curricular integration work emerged during pre-professional practices with a group of 3 to 4-year-olds, where a significant issue was identified: the lack of skills and values in plant care. To address this, the objective was to foster plant care awareness through the creation of the Waldorf Wisdom Seed Corner, within the context of children's interactions with their natural and cultural environment. The research followed a socio-critical paradigm with a qualitative approach, employing techniques such as participant observation and semi-structured interviews for data collection. Analysis using grounded theory yielded several results, which informed the design of the Seed Corner and six related activities, aimed at resolving the study's focal problem. The intervention showed that it enhanced children's experiential understanding of nature and underscored the importance of plant care. Additionally, the Seed Corner was designed to promote a harmonious and cooperative atmosphere within the educational community.
