Item Evaluación de la lateralidad en niños y niñas de segundo de básica de la Unidad Educativa Luis Cordero. Cuenca 2023(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-10-15) Pacheco Bermeo, Carolina Lizbeth; Villalta Chungata, Blanca CeciliaBackground: Laterality is one of the most important features for child development, which is defined as the preference for one side of the body over the other in regard to different motor skills. It directly influences motor and cognitive performance, as well as visual-motor coordination. Therefore, by reinforcing laterality, skills like reading, writing, and mathematics can be improved. General objective: To determine the lateral dominance of second grade children attending Luis Cordero school using the Harris Test of Lateral Dominance. Methodology: The study was conducted at Luis Cordero school in Cuenca, Ecuador. The research population comprised all children in the second grade of basic education, SPSS v25was used for tabulation and analysis of results. Results: 53.30% of children show poorly asserted laterality, 26.70% have crossed laterality, 16.70% are completely right-handed, while3.30% are completely left-handed. In regard to gender, the percentage of males is higher (55%). It is important to mention that the majority of the participants were 6 years old at the time of the evaluation. Conclusions: The study determined that most participants were right- handed. However, their laterality is not wellestablished; therefore, it is necessary to design strategies and activities to sharpen those skills in studentsItem Nivel de funcionalidad de los niños y niñas del Centro de Desarrollo e Inclusión Social. Girón 2023.(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-10-09) Saquicela Vanegas, Gabriela Beatriz; Yépez Dután, David Francisco; Clavijo, María IsabelBackground: The functional qualities of humans are the set conditions that provide individuals with the ability to perform tasks/actions considering physical, psychological, and social aspects, which could be affected by neurodevelopment disorders and disabilities that are evident during the first years of life. These conditions affect 5-10% of the population worldwide. Objective: To determine the level of functional qualities of boys and girls at the Center for Development and Social Inclusion (CEDIS) using the PEDI-CAT test.
