Analysis of motor development through dance of grade 3 students at the Villa Margarita Educational Institution
Abstract
Dance is a fundamental activity as a means of expression through bodily movement to achieve necessary skills. It emerges as an art, enhancing expressive capacity, cognitive ability, and physical dexterity in motor development. From a formative perspective, this article aims to analyze the motor development through dance of third-grade students at Villa Margarita Educational Institution. This article is based on a qualitative approach and a constructivist paradigm, in which a case study with a focus group was conducted. The population consisted of third-grade students; for this study, a purposive sampling of 30 samples was conducted to ensure representativeness. Through interviews, improvements in coordination, rhythm, and body language were identified among the participants. The results show that most students associate dance with movement, that they enjoy exploring, expressing themselves, and participating in collaborative activities. Thus, it is concluded that dance is an effective pedagogical tool for enhancing motor development and meaningful learning, in addition to fostering a more dynamic, inclusive, and healthy school environment, and strengthening a child's overall development.
