Abstract

Preschool education is what begins people's academic lives, which is why it becomes essential that it is provided in a precise and appropriate manner with methods that allow students to acquire knowledge that is significant and useful to access to increasingly complex knowledge.

The objective of the research in question was to evaluate, through pedagogical strategies, whether singing favors the development of counting in preschool education. The method used to meet this objective was through a qualitative approach with a participatory action research study, for which techniques for diagnosis and evaluation were used such as semi-structured interviews, participant and non-participant observation, as well as logs, which are They worked through content analysis.

The most relevant findings that were obtained are; that, singing has a profound impact on the linguistic, cognitive, motor, emotional and social development of preschool children. By singing, children improve their vocabulary, develop basic mathematical skills, strengthen their motor coordination, encourage creativity, strengthen the emotional bond with their peers and teachers, in addition to learning fundamental social skills.
