La atención y la motivación desde las prácticas pedagógicas de los docentes de tercer grado en el colegio Germán Arciniegas IED

Abstract

The project "Attention and motivation from the pedagogical practices of third grade teachers, afternoon session of the German Arciniegas I.E.D School", was developed with the purpose of analyzing how teachers understand and incorporate, in the development of their pedagogical practices, the processes of motivation and attention of students. Directed from qualitative research with a phenomenological design, it was carried out with eight students between the ages of 8 and 9 who were given diagnostic workshops as data collection instruments and three teachers, two full-time and one provisional, who provided information through a focus group and diagnostic workshop. After analyzing the information, it was found that teachers understand motivational processes as behaviors that, due to their impacts, are appropriated and apprehended from an early age, that are enriched and projected over time, demarcating horizons for the crystallization and implementation of projects. Regarding the attention, they express that it is incorporated into environments in which the character and state of mind of the teacher, the surprise of the new, the space and its variations, as well as the didactics and learning strategies, take part. Empathy and affect are identified as the main drivers and incident factors to capture and maintain both motivation and attention. These elements establish bases that favor the teaching process, generating an environment in which students feel safe, valued, and participants in the learning process.
