Motor education and Andalusian culture: A micro project of learning service through educational play

Abstract

Introduction: Motor education contributes to the integral development of children, integrating their work into interdisciplinary projects, with basic knowledge and specific skills, in the curriculum of Early Childhood Education and Primary Education. Service-learning methodology and educational play as a didactic tool, connect motor learning with other areas of knowledge, and develop transversal competences such as initiative, creativity, or teamwork, contributing to a holistic and inclusive formation. Method and Evaluation: The micro-project was divided into 3 phases: logistics and planning, organization and development, and implementation. A self-assessment (organising faculty) and a hetero evaluation (voluntary university students) were carried out to evaluate them. Sampling: non-probability for convenience. Instrument: a questionnaire designed "ad hoc", with 3 dimensions and 10 categories and a section of personal data. Results: The results obtained were very positive, ranging from a high level (4) to a very high level (5). Conclusions: This micro project demonstrates the value of implementing E. M. programs integrated into the curriculum of E. I. and E. P., through service-learning and educational play, taking advantage of local cultural resources such as traditional games and devising an equitable and inclusive strategy in practice.
