LOS RECURSOS DIDÁCTICOS Y SU INFLUENCIA EN EL DESARROLLO DEL PENSAMIENTO LÓGICO MATEMÁTICO EN NIÑOS DE 4 A 5 AÑOS.

Abstract

The development of the quality educational process involves the use of appropriate teaching resources to enhance children's skills. In this sense, the present study is oriented to identify the incidence of the use of didactic resources in the development of mathematical logical thinking, serving as support to the teacher in the management of situated and functional learning. In this way, the general objective focuses on demonstrating the importance of didactic resources to promote the development of logical-mathematical thinking; For this, a mixed investigation is addressed, with quantitative and qualitative results, where the educational triad is sampled, to whom the research instruments are directed, such as: surveys, interviews, and classroom observation sheet, whose results reflect that the teacher does an incorrect selection and inadequate use of the didactic resources according to the expected learning result, added to the absence of significant experiences that facilitate the development of children's mathematical logical thinking. The research concludes on the importance of the use of didactic resources for the development of mathematical logical thinking, which are optimized through playful strategies that motivate, maintain the student's attention, and promote the activation of mental processes; also highlighting the valuable role of the teacher as organizer of the active and participatory educational process through the selection and implementation of appropriate resources to strengthen children's thinking.
