Implementation of the Reggio Emilia method: a transformation to teaching work, Esmeraldas, 2024

Abstract

In today's dynamic business environment, innovation is crucial for the survival and growth of This article addresses a common problem identified at the Heleodoro Sáenz Educational Unit regarding the application of methodologies used by teachers during the teaching-learning process and their dependence on various aspects of life. It is important to mention that educators constantly face different challenges in helping students develop knowledge in all areas of the curriculum. For this reason, the Reggio Emilia methodology or Reggio Experience is proposed. According to Biroli et al. (2018), this methodology is based on an educational exercise through which students are motivated to explore their environment and express all their available communicative and cognitive languages. It is based on the belief that children have the potential to construct their own knowledge in relation to their environment, which motivates children to construct their own thinking through different languages. In this sense, a more dynamic, innovative, and inclusive approach is promoted in this field, facilitating the teaching-learning process and thus achieving clear objectives and optimal results. Lori argues that students should acquire knowledge through observation and experimentation, thus fostering their creativity. Considering these characteristics, the study of this method is crucial, because children learn based on their own interests and experiences, always motivated. A predisposed student is also highly productive and assimilates knowledge easily, while the teacher creates a climate of trust that fosters much more meaningful learning.
