Estrategias pedagógicas para la enseñanza de la afectividad sexual de los estudiantes del grado cuarto de la Institución Educativa Misael Pastrana Borrero sede San José-Cúcuta Norte de Santander.

Abstract

The teaching of sexual affectivity is a topic that involved providing adequate information, encouraging open communication and promoting positive values and attitudes related to respect and self-esteem. Its focus was the development of healthy relationships and the promotion of an early understanding of sexuality, based on the age and level of maturity of the children, which allowed us to propose pedagogical strategies to strengthen the teaching of sexual affectivity in children in the 4th grade of the Misael Pastrana Borrero Educational Institution in San José-Cúcuta, Norte de Santander. With a methodology framed in a qualitative approach and a method of Pedagogical Action Research, also taking into account the curricular guidelines and the Basic Competency Standards, which are consistent with the seventh Basic Learning Rights (DBA) in social sciences for this grade, referring to situations in which children's rights are violated and possible solutions to resolve them. For this purpose, six games were designed and applied: Build your body by parts, the friendship hangman-handle, the birthday story of a girl named Francisca, a letter from a young girl to her brother, and putting your feet on a newspaper, analysing three categories: physical, cognitive and socio-emotional development. Among the results, it was found that the use of pedagogical strategies that include applied games were considered a mechanism to develop skills and abilities that enhance the teaching of sexual affectivity.
