ACUNA AGUDELO, María Piedad y QUINONES TELLO, Yaneth del Carmen. Playful Environmental Education to Sharpen Cognitive Skills in School Children. Educ. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.3, pp.444-468. Epub 03-Mayo-2021. ISSN 0123-1294. https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2020.23.3.5.
This research intends to determine the importance of playful environmental education for improving cognitive skills in children aged 4-6 years. It was conducted using the action research strategy with a qualitative approach. It reviewed teaching practices, implemented activities aimed at developing cognitive skills and analyzed their effects, redesigned environmental education processes in early childhood, and proposed guidelines for early childhood teachers. Thus, this research proved that it is possible to broaden cognitive skills in school children using play as a didactic tool and leveraging the environment as the pedagogical setting.
