Abstract

Motor coordination is a fundamental capacity that is developed at an early age in the field of physical education, recreation and sport, as well as dance allows pedagogical activities forming integral and cultural beings in society, as it is one of the basic physical capacities to make a harmonious combination of movements. It was possible to observe through a diagnosis, the low level of motor coordination in high school students in the Bicentennial school. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to implement Colombian dance as a pedagogical tool for the development of motor coordination in the seventh grade. In the following research, the pedagogical model "productive learning" was used with a quantitative research methodology with a quasi-experimental approach; the student population is 1,474 students from the neighborhoods of Antonia santos in stratum 1 (66%), 2 (22%) and 0 (12%); of which 735 are male and 739 are female, who are studying the different grades of transition, primary, high school and technical middle school. A sample was taken of 36 schoolchildren in grade 7-01 of both genders between the ages of 11 and 15 (M: 12.67; TD: 0.92). 41.67 per cent (15) were boys and 58.33 per cent (21) were girls. Therefore, evaluations were made through the KTK test battery by means of a pre-test and post est after carrying out pedagogical activities obtaining results with significant differences (p<0.05).
