Effects of Work with Motor Stories in Early Childhood Education on Inhibitory Control and Emotions

Abstract

Nowadays, there are many studies that prove the benefits of physical activity for children in the executive function. Along the same line we find new emerging educational proposals that include emotional intelligence as a paramount factor in academic success and integral formation of individuals. Taking into account these two topics of interest, this proposal of educational intervention has the goal of increasing inhibitory motor control in children through the methodological resource "motor story", which develops motor and emotional contents. The most relevant conclusion we have arrived at has to do with the training of the inhibitory control which contributes qualitatively to the improvement of the activities that are carried out in the school environment context related to the cognitive, psychomotor and relational areas.

Keywords: Child education, Emotional intelligence, Emotions, Motor story
