Description
Summary:This study proposes an innovative pedagogical method for children diagnosed with childhood depression based on educational play, designed to increase the children's interest so that they participate in the teaching and learning process. The methodology employed is qualitative, concretized in a case study based on data obtained after five years of interaction between three children suffering from depression who initially showed educational indifference, school failure and lack of socialization in the school context. The instruments used based on participant observation were the class diary, the interviews and the evaluations of the students. It is hoped that, through the study, a new pedagogical approach aimed at the intellectual awakening of depressed children will be created, since it shows that learning can be a particularly powerful motivation for life, combating the melancholy, aggressiveness and general denial that this type of child presents. At the same time, it helps them to regain self-confidence, to integrate into the social group of the classroom, to gain educational interest and to avoid school failure En este estudio se propone un método pedagógico innovador para niños diagnosticados con depresión infantil basado en el juego educativo, diseñado para incrementar el interés de los niños de tal manera que participen en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. La metodología empleada es la cualitativa, concretada en un estudio de caso basado en los datos obtenidos después de cinco años de interacción entre tres niños que sufren depression y que, inicialmente, mostraron indiferencia educativa, fracaso escolar y falta de socialización en el contexto escolar. Los instrumentos empleados basados en la observación participante fueron el diario de clase, las entrevistas y las evaluaciones del alumnado. Se espera que, a través de studio, se cree un nuevo enfoque pedagógico dirigido al despertar intelectual de los niños deprimidos, ya que demuestra que el aprendizaje puede ser una motivación especialmente poderosa para la vida, combatiendo la melancolía, la agresividad y la negación general que presentan este tipo de niños. Al mismo tiempo, les ayuda a recuperar la confianza en sí mismos, a integrarse en el grupo social del aula, a ganar interés educativo y a evitar el fracaso escolar.
