Abstract
Los niños dedican gran parte de su tiempo a jugar, puesto que el juego es un espacio necesario y fundamental para el desarrollo infantil. Principalmente, el juego permite a los niños explorar el entorno y a sí mismos a través de conductas y pensamientos cada vez más complejos, y así desarrollan mayor flexibilidad en su capacidad de adaptación al mundo. De igual forma, el juego en la escuela es una herramienta pedagógica que impulsa la construcción de aprendizajes más significativos y mayor motivación para aprender. A pesar de esto, el juego está desapareciendo de las aulas de clase, y son las creencias y concepciones docentes, que lo entienden como una actividad poco relevante para el aprendizaje, uno de los principales factores de su desaparición. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo explorar dichas creencias y concepciones docentes en comunidades Shipibo-Konibo de la región Ucayali, pues el uso de juegos tradicionales como herramienta pedagógica podría ayudar a mejorar los aprendizajes escolares y revalorizar la identidad del pueblo Shipibo. Los principales resultados muestran que los docentes reconocen la importancia del para el desarrollo infantil pero no sus aportes para la educación, además de entender al juego como un espacio para el desarrollo de roles de género. La investigación propone repensar cómo se podrían incorporar los juegos tradicionales como herramienta pedagógica en la escuela, tomando en cuenta la formación docente y estrategias de apoyo a su labor.
Children spend much of their time playing, because play is necessary and fundamental in child development. Mainly, play allows children to explore the environment and themselves through increasingly complex behaviors and thoughts, and develop greater flexibility in their ability to adapt to the world. Likewise, play in school can be a pedagogical tool that promotes learning and motivation to learn. Despite this, play is disappearing from school classrooms, and teachers’ beliefs that do not view it as a very relevant activity for learning are one of the main factors in its demise. This research aims to explore such teacher beliefs in Shipibo-Konibo communities of the Ucayali region, as the use of traditional games as a pedagogical tool could help improve school learning and enhance the identity of the Shipibo-Konibo people. The main results show that teachers recognize the importance of play in child development but not its contribution to education. In addition, they understand play as a space for the development of gender roles. The research suggests rethinking how teachers could use traditional games as a pedagogical tool in schools, taking into account teacher pre-service education and strategies to support their work.
