Abstract

Various National and International studies explain the importance of the use of free time for the integral development of children and adolescents, in addition, that activities such as excessive use of video games without due control or guidance, can alter cognitive development and negatively influence academic performance, according to Fuentes and Pérez. (2015). The research approach is qualitative, and the type of research is descriptive. A population of 412 students from sixth grade was taken between the two educational institutions and for the representative sample, from the I. E Rosa Lia Mafla 43 students from grades 6-1 and 6-4 were taken on behalf of the I. E General Santander 26 students was taken from grades 6-1 and 6-2, for a grand total of 69 students. The results show that few of them, spend their time doing productive activities for their integral development such as reading a book or some derivative of art and they are more inclined to invest their time in listening to music, watching television, or simply spending time with their relatives due to the lack of other options or guidance, being limited to imitating daily practice from their peers and other people within their social context, this varies between both institutions and what is sought with this research is to carry out an analysis based on the answers given by students about what they do in their free time inside and outside of school.
