"Utilization of digital games in preschool education for children's rights. An educational intervention for the rights of children to survival and development, non-discrimination and protection "
Summary:
This study is a research project in kindergarten on the use of digital games in an educational program for the rights of the child. An educational intervention was designed and developed remotely using digital games in order to introduce infants to issues of survival and development, non-discrimination and protection rights. The effectiveness of the program was studied through the qualitative analysis of the interviews of the children before and after the intervention, through questionnaires regarding their degree of fun, and through the projects and the comments they produced during the digital activities. The results showed that children increased their knowledge and their rights became more apparent in their thinking. All the children approached the issues of rights in relation to the improvement of the quality of life, while the infants in particular showed an ethical reasoning approaching the reciprocity of social rules. Digital games mobilized children's creative thinking, dialogue and social reflection through role-playing games in modern distance education. They have also been useful tools as an asynchronous activity for the creative expression of social messages and interaction with their parents. This study proposes useful participatory action practices for promoting critical approach to rights-based social issues through digital games. Further research would be needed with exploring in parallel the views of students and their parents on rights and about the use of digital games.
