Introduction to the Program

Acompaña a los niños en su desarrollo motor planificando juegos didácticos y divertidos”

Durante los primeros años de vida de un niño el cerebro crece a un ritmo asombroso, aprenden a moverse y usar su cuerpo para jugar, expresarse y explorar el mundo que los rodea. Esta etapa se conoce como “desarrollo motor” y es fundamental para lograr la independencia física y funcional mientras se produce la maduración del cerebro. 

Este proceso debe ser analizado en profundidad por los docentes de educación física, permitiendo que creen y planifiquen actividades divertidas para los niños en edad escolar. Esto con el fin de favorecer no solo su motricidad fina y gruesa, sino para motivarlos a realizar acciones nuevas y mejorar sus habilidades sociales.  

En función de lo anterior, el programa de la Postgraduate diploma en Child Motor Development asentará las bases para aplicar estrategias y metodologías que ayuden a los niños a desarrollar sus habilidades motoras, sociales y cognitivas. En un primer módulo, se presentará el proceso normal del desarrollo físico y motor, conociendo los planteamientos de enfoques como el piagetiano y el vigotskiano.

Además del acompañamiento físico, también hay que tener en cuenta la autopercepción con la que el niño crece. Por tal motivo, se destinará un módulo al autoconocimiento y la autonomía personal en la educación infantil, permitiendo sentar las bases del concepto de la autoestima e identificar las señales de alarma cuando esta se ve afectada negativamente.  

Una ventaja de esta Postgraduate diploma es la posibilidad de cursarlo de manera online, solo se necesita acceder desde una computadora con acceso a internet. Asimismo, este programa representará un momento de cambio para aquellos estudiantes que están buscando una mejora en sus estrategias educativas, adecuando las actividades a la edad de los pequeños. 

Los juegos son un excelente método de enseñanza. Planea los mejores para los niños a tu cargo”
