Abstract

Social skills are the set of skills that the human being develops in the first years of life to obtain a favorable environment in a social and intrapersonal context. Learning development is the way in which the child learns knowledge, skills and aptitudes. The main objective of this research was to determine how social skills influence the development of learning in children from 3 to 6 years of age at the "Tía Uchy" Child Development Center. To obtain results, a mixed methodology was used, it is a crosssectional cohort, correlational in scope; For this, the Social Skills survey according to Goldstein was used, on the other hand, to measure the development of learning, the academic reports of the levels of Initial 1 A-B, Initial 2 A-B and First Basic were used. The sample size was 79 children aged 3 to 6 years from the "Tía Uchy" Child Development Center located in the Guayas canton. This research responds to the research question where the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted, this means that social skills affect the development of learning in children from 3 to 6 years of age at the Child Development Center "Tía Uchy”. For future research, strategies can be created for teachers to apply these strategies in the classroom.
