The Waldorf methodology as a strategy to stimulate fine motor skills at the initial level II.cedure Manuals.

Abstract

This work seeks to recognize the Waldorf methodology as a strategy to stimulate fine motor skills in the initial level II, developed in the Carlos Crespi II Educational Unit with the aim of promoting the development of fine motor skills in children of the initial level II, through the implementation of pedagogical principles of the Waldorf methodology. This alternative educational approach is characterized by its holistic view of the child, integrating art, play, nature, and free expression as means for learning and integral development. Throughout the project, micro-planning focused on recreational and recreational activities was designed that included the use of natural and recycled materials. These proposals were aimed at strengthening hand-eye coordination, motor precision and creative expression, while promoting collaborative work and positive interaction between peers. The natural environment was a key component, as it allowed students to experiment freely, develop their aesthetic sensibility, and strengthen their bond with the environment. The results showed significant advances in students' fine motor skills, as well as an improvement in their autonomy, concentration and willingness to learn. Likewise, the importance of teacher accompaniment and collaboration with families in the educational process was highlighted. In conclusion, the project reaffirms the effectiveness of the Waldorf methodology as a valuable pedagogical strategy for motor and emotional development in early childhood, proposing a comprehensive, experiential and inclusive educational approach.
