Recursos didácticos innovadores para el desarrollo del pensamiento lógico matemático en niños de prescolar

Abstract

Didactic resources are of great importance for educators in guiding and facilitating the teaching process in preschool children. In educational environments, the lack of adequate resources limits the ability to expand instruction and the improvement of logical-mathematical thinking, especially in the rural areas of Canton Cañar, the limitations of resources in these institutions impact the ability to promote sound reasoning, abstraction, and logic through mathematics, the latter has played a fundamental role in fostering logical thinking and reasoning skills, in addition to stimulating the ability to understand abstract concepts, by providing students with confidence in their handling of mathematical situations and in effective problem solving, mathematics plays an essential role in their educational development. The central purpose of this research was to examine the use of appropriate novel didactic resources intended to enrich the progress of logical-mathematical thinking in children, adjusting them to their age, to achieve this, a tool was created that encompasses the essential elements that these resources should contain, The component that showed the greatest relevance was the technological aspect, while the motivational function should occupy a prominent role to be considered as innovative in this scenario, it could be proposed that, in future experimental applications, the implementation of virtual environments to promote the development of logical-mathematical thinking should be promoted. Keywords: didactic resources, mathematical-logical thinking, preschool children.
