Los juegos sensoriales para el desarrollo cognitivo en los niño de 4 a 5 años

(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Jiménez Vicente , Keyko Janeth; Curay Banegas, Edgar Rigoberto; 1150367637

During observations made in early educational centers in the city of Cuenca, difficulties in attention, following instructions, and logical thinking were identified in children. Although didactical resources were available, traditional activities do not sufficiently motivate children or favor their comprehensive development. In this context, sensory games are presented as an effective pedagogical strategy to naturally and playfully stimulate the basic cognitive functions. This research aims to determine the contribution of sensory games in the cognitive development of children aged 4 to 5 years. The study used a qualitative approach with descriptive scope, based on a systematic review of academic sources on the subject under study, published within the last five years. Techniques such as the index card method and the organization of an information matrix were used to determine categories of analysis. The results show that sensory games strengthen cognitive areas, including attention, memory, perception, reasoning, and language, thereby promoting meaningful and multisensory learning. Additionally, the main cognitive issues at this stage were identified, underscoring the importance of early detection and intervention. Finally, a pedagogical proposal is designed based on structured sensorial games adapted to the children’s developmental level, which proved effective in enhancing their cognitive development. In summary, sensory games are a fundamental tool for improving learning and the active participation of children in their educational environment.

El juego cooperativo para el desarrollo de la autonomía en niños de 4 a 5 años

(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Marín Piña , Rosa Marilyn; Curay Banegas, Edgar Rigoberto; 1400882302

This research focuses on cooperative games as a fundamental strategy to promote autonomy in children aged 4 to 5 years, a crucial stage for children’s comprehensive development. The main objective was “To determine the importance of cooperative games in the development of autonomy in children aged 4 to 5 years.” Autonomy is understood as the capacity of children to make decisions, solve problems, and act independently in their environment. To achieve this purpose, a qualitative, descriptive, and bibliographic study was conducted, employing both deductive and inductive methods to analyze and synthesize relevant information. The research included a systematic literature review of academic databases from the Catholic University of Cuenca, with a special emphasis on indexed journals such as SciELO and Redalyc, among other recognized sources. The results show that cooperative games not only foster the development of cognitive, emotional, and social skills but also enhance essential competencies, including self-regulation, teamwork, and empathy. Based on these findings, an educational proposal that incorporates cooperative play activities aimed at stimulating autonomy from a participatory and inclusive approach was designed, promoting integration and respect among children. In conclusion, cooperative games are consolidated as an effective pedagogical tool that, when systematically integrated into the teaching-learning process of early education, contributes significantly to the formation of independent, confident, empathetic children capable of actively participating in their social environment.
