Cuídate y cuidémonos: una propuesta pedagógica de promover prácticas de cuidado a través de expresiones artísticas con niños y niñas de 2 a 4 años en el Jardín Abejitas de Colores

Abstract

This research work was developed from a previous investigation carried out in the midst of the current health crisis due to the Covid-19 virus, which led us to a cessation of activities and a mandatory confinement for more than a year. During this pandemic we understood the importance of promoting care practices in early childhood, taking as referents: self-care, care for others and care for nature mediated from artistic expressions. The research was carried out in the educational institution Jardín Infantil Abejitas de Colores, located in Soacha, Cundinamarca, with a group of children between the ages of two (2) and four (4) years old. As a result of this research exercise, a pedagogical proposal was elaborated and implemented focused on promoting care practices in children, using different artistic expressions (painting, music and literature) that would allow them to experience and appropriate the importance of care in people's lives. It is worth mentioning that this proposal allowed us to make a significant pedagogical reflection and to elaborate conclusions and recommendations for the institution and the teachers.
