Juegos digitales y tradicionales en el aula de educación infantil

Autores/as

Resumen

La enseñanza basada en juegos ofrece múltiples oportunidades de aprendizaje, especialmente para los niños pequeños. Este estudio examinó la efectividad del aprendizaje basado en juegos en la educación infantil y determinó si el juego digital o el tradicional mejoran más eficazmente la numeración en alumnos de jardín de infancia. Treinta niños de cinco a seis años se dividieron en dos grupos: uno utilizó juegos tradicionales y el otro juegos digitales durante las clases de matemáticas. Usando un diseño cuasi-experimental con pruebas antes y después de la intervención, se evaluó primero el nivel de numeración de los alumnos. Después de un mes de intervención, se aplicó una prueba final y se analizaron los datos. Los resultados mostraron mejoras en el desempeño numérico en ambos grupos, pasando de «No cumple con las expectativas» a «Sobresaliente». Las diferencias de medias y ganancias fueron significativas. El estudio concluye que tanto los juegos digitales como los tradicionales, cuando están supervisados adecuadamente por adultos, son herramientas efectivas para mejorar la numeración en niños de jardín de infancia. Se recomienda integrar actividades lúdicas variadas en el aula infantil para fomentar la participación y los logros educativos.
