Pedagogía de la luz: una posibilidad para la promoción del desarrollo integral a través del arte y la literatura como actividades rectoras de la primera infancia

Abstract

This report arises from the project carried out as a degree modality during the internship of the Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Pedagogy at the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas with the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF), developed in eight Service Units (UDS) and Community Welfare Homes (HCB) of the ICBF. Initially, it addresses the importance of creating educational environments mediated by the Pedagogy of Light, integrating art and literature as guiding activities for Early Childhood. A proposal aligned with the technical, political and curricular referents for early education, as well as with the State Policy for Comprehensive Early Childhood Care (Law 1804 of 2016). Among the objectives of this proposal was included the creation of spaces where children could explore, learn and develop in a comprehensive manner, through educational experiences based on light environments. In addition, it sought to provide accompaniment to community mothers and educational agents, facilitating the construction of dialogues to plan strategies that would promote the development of children. The report goes on to summarize the experience in first person, highlighting the creation of pedagogical proposals, rich in materials, tools and sensations, aimed at exploration, observation and the creation of sensitive spaces, inspired by the postulates of Loris Malaguzzi (1968), regarding his concept of the classroom as a third teacher and his approach to the Pedagogy of Light. The project also recognizes children as autonomous subjects, protagonists of their own development, capable of transforming their environment and those around them. Finally, some conclusions about the scope of the internship process and reflections about it are presented.
