El teatro como estrategia didáctica para fomentar el desarrollo de habilidades sociales de niños de Educación Inicial y Preparatoria

Abstract

This monographic work focuses on theater as a didactic strategy from a perspective focused on the process and protagonist of the children in the development of theatrical activities, leaving aside the perfection of the final product. In this aspect, the theater becomes a didactic, and playful medium that respects the different learning rhythms of each of the children. In addition, this strategy is considered as a natural and spontaneous medium where dynamic spaces are developed that enhance children's creativity and imagination. Regarding the methodology implemented, it is qualitative, with a descriptive approach, since it allows understanding a social situation as a whole. By means of this work we try to demonstrate bibliographically the contribution of theater as a didactic strategy in the development of the social skills of infants, therefore, we proceeded to the elaboration of a didactic guide made up of a series of playful, creative and flexible activities focused on theater as a didactic strategy, with the purpose of improving and developing the social skills of infants at the kindergarten and high school levels. For the above-mentioned, it is recommended to use theater as a didactic strategy, since it significantly favors the development of the social skills of the infants.
