Program application “We learn to live together democratically through children's games” to the children of the district of Peru for improving democratic attitudes in a good coexistence
Abstract
Managing democratic coexistence from childhood should commit us as educators; promoting the learning of living together, being democratic and making decisions by consensus, designing and applying learning experiences through play, from the educational institution and linking it with the family; where the child makes decisions, establishes and negotiates rules, developing good social attitudes; since living together is learned from the interaction with others. It is because of this situation that the present study was developed, to demonstrate that the program “We learn to live together democratically through children's games” applied to the children of the district of Baños del Inca - Cajamarca - Peru-2022, for improving democratic attitudes in a good coexistence. The data were obtained through systematic observation and evaluation techniques, and the instruments were an observation sheet and a Likert scale survey. The population consisted of 417 preschool children in the district of Baños del Inca – 2022, while the sample consisted of 151 children from the educational institution “Niños de la Natividad” in the district of Baños del Inca. Control group 50 children - classrooms “Gatitos” and “Amiguitos”. Experimental group 101 children classrooms: “Estrellitas de Jesús”, “Angelitos”, “Niños Talentosos”, “Ositos Cariñosos”. The choice was intentional. The results of the pre-test showed a poor and regular level of democratic coexistence, unlike the post-test in the experimental group. For example, once the program was applied, the average of democratic coexistence in children's play increased considerably in the experimental sample to 84.00 points, a level of good; while in the control sample 29.28 points, a level of fairness. Similar results were obtained for each of the dimensions analyzed. In general, the result for the experimental sample in each of the dimensions was always at a good level, unlike the control sample.
