Rincón de música para el desarrollo cognitivo en los niños del centro de desarrollo infantil San Pablo 1.

Abstract

The research arose from the need identified at the San Pablo 1 Child Development Center to strengthen cognitive stimulation in children aged 1 to 3 years, due to the lack of a specific space for musical activities. The overall objective was to determine the importance of the music corner for the cognitive development of the center's children. A mixed, descriptive, and participatory methodology was applied, which included an institutional diagnosis, a bibliographic review, and direct observation with achievement indicators. The results showed that most children are in the process of acquiring skills such as attention, language, memory, and logical thinking, demonstrating the need to incorporate more stimulating pedagogical strategies. The music corner was implemented with accessible and recyclable materials, integrating traditional instruments and recreational activities. This space, based on theories such as constructivism and Gardner's multiple intelligences, has established itself as an innovative teaching resource that promotes meaningful learning, creative expression, and social interaction. The proposal contributes to comprehensive child development and improves the quality of the educational environment in rural settings.
