Caracterizando la construcción de espacios metodológicos-organizativos en Educación Infantil.

Abstract

Research focused on ECE (Early Childhood Education) stage teachers brings to light multiple models for classroom management associated with different didactic-pedagogical strategies, ranging from models close to management styles (predominant in the Spanish context) to others in which unplanned or free time predominates. Our investigation is based on the opinion of 1.350 ECE teachers in Andalusia (Spain) on positivist method principles, with an exploratory and correlational intention and the support of an ad hoc designed questionnaire, we try to identify and explore the possible correlations between methodological-organisational aspects, as well as their influence or degree of determination on the interactions that take place in the ECE classroom. The results obtained after a structural equations analysis confirmed the positive influence of some methodological-organisational aspects implemented by the teacher on the type of interactions that arise when working with learning corners in the ECE. We conclude that in order to dynamise the classroom environment it is necessary to diversify the methodological-organisational aspects that accompany teaching work, overcoming the reluctance detected in part of the teaching staff and inviting them to reflect upon training in positive attitudes towards change.
