Games for the treatment of spatial orientation in Physical Education classes/Juegos para el tratamiento de la orientación espacial en las clases de Educación Física

Abstract

Introduction: The game in boys and girls occurs in a natural way because it is used as a means of preparation for life and as a means of education. That is why many authors state categorically that "the child learns by playing and by playing he becomes fit for life". Objective: This research has as objective to elaborate a set of adapted games to favor the work with spatial orientation in boys and girls from the " Antonio Briones Montoto" primary school in the Bayamo municipality, from which a sample of 24 first grade students enrolled in the primary school who have problems in spatial orientation was taken as an object of study. Materials and method: In order to fulfill the objective, theoretical methods ( analytical-synthetic, hypothetical-deductive and documentary review) , empirical ( observation, survey, experiment and test to evaluate spatial orientation) and statistical mathematical methods were used. . Results: As a result, six adapted games are offered in correspondence with the particularities of the studied population, which will allow the work with the spatial orientation of the mentioned population. Conclusion: The analyzed theoretical and methodological foundations allowed determine and adapt the games to favor the development of the spatial orientation in the Physical education class.
