Educación física, deporte y recreación: un espacio alternativo para los programas de la facultad de ciencias humanas y sociales de la Fundación Universitaria los Libertadores

Abstract

The present work is part of a recurrent situation in the education of children at an early age and the absence of academic, pedagogical and didactic training, from physical education that contributes to their integral development. The space of physical education has not been assumed from the importance it represents for children, which leads to teachers in charge of these ages (cycle I, ages between 4 and 7 years) must take this space without counting, many times with the theoretical knowledge or the tools and suitability necessary to implement practices from and from physical education. The observations and the close work with the professionals who assume the cycle I realize that in the daily practices, the teachers omit this activity or transform the sense of it, leaving aside the existent curricular proposals and that allow to develop a Serious work with respect to training from physical education for boys and girls. This situation is often the result of the little relationship with the practices and concepts of physical education by teachers in training, as well as the lack of attention to the inclusion of basic contents within the curricula established for undergraduate degrees, in this In the case of children's education, the component around the teaching of physical education does not exist, despite the fact that it is a space that, later in the year, must be assumed by teachers. To this extent, the present research proposal is framed, seeking to provide future graduates with the necessary tools to be able to implement the spaces from physical education adapted to the needs of cycle I, for the consolidation of this proposal there are several factors: firstly the need to cover a space within the labor market that has been relegated and that the teachers in charge have not taken on the importance it represents. As a second measure, the documentary and institutional review reveals that the training programs for graduates in early childhood education lack a physical education teaching component within their curricular structures, which allows the situation described to increase. The research proposal contributes to the professional training of future graduates insofar as it can provide them with tools from physical education to be successful in the labor field and, having tools that are not provided in other institutions, the degree program of Infant Education of the University Foundation of the Liberators would be strengthened in the offer of a greater number of electives.
