Jugando se aprende: la expresión corporal como estrategia didáctica para potenciar el desarrollo de la comunicación asertiva y la inteligencia emocional en niños y niñas de preescolar de la Institución Educativa Juan Pablo I.

Abstract

The present document begins with the presentation of an issue that arises within Juan Pablo I Educational Institution, specifically among preschool students. This leads to the comprehensive teaching practice report, where the intention is to implement a didactic strategy through body expression to enhance the development of assertive communication and emotional intelligence. Clear objectives are proposed to carry out this process through various body expression activities involving play, art, literature, and environmental exploration for the holistic development of boys and girls, as suggested by pedagogical guidelines for early childhood education within the framework of comprehensive care. Similarly, the "Participatory Action" methodology is employed with a qualitative approach, proposing a formative plan for the preschool level that extends from problem analysis with continuous process monitoring to evaluation. This is achieved through various tools and didactic resources that promote comprehensive development. Moreover, different theoretical contributions from the local, national, and international contexts are gathered, providing background for this report. The pedagogical proposal is developed based on significant inputs from theorists such as Vygotsky, Gardner, and Piaget, specifically concerning body expression within the classroom. Nevertheless, the implemented didactic strategies and the activity schedule are thoroughly described. Finally, the evidence from the Comprehensive Teaching Practice report is attached. An analysis of the obtained results is conducted, and conclusions are drawn regarding the necessary didactic strategies. These strategies, in turn, encompass various activities that promote and enhance the communicative and emotional development of preschool students at Juan Pablo I Educational Institution.
