La música como recurso didáctico para la enseñanza - aprendizaje de matemáticas en niños de Educación Inicial

Abstract

In the present degree work, music is discussed as a didactic resource for the teaching - learning of mathematics, from a monographic conception supported by the idea that music has benefits at a cognitive, motor and emotional level in the early ages. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to bibliographically determine the importance of implementing music as a didactic resource for the teaching - learning process of mathematics in children of Initial Education, using a qualitative approach through a bibliographic analysis. Likewise, a field work was carried out through a conversation with experts in the musical and mathematical area of the City of Cuenca in order to complement the theory, where the information was analyzed establishing some categories. According to the results obtained through the conversation, it is highlighted that music is a good resource to implement it in the classroom considering each of its components such as rhythm, melody and harmony. In this way, it was concluded that music is a fundamental resource to work with infants, for this reason, it is important that teachers implement dynamic strategies in the area of mathematics so that learning does not become monotonous, considering that the numbers are complex, therefore, mathematical reasoning must be worked on dynamically so that it is strengthened and they can achieve solid learning, which will help them to acquire more complex knowledge at higher levels.
