Abstract
In the Instituto Superior Tecnológico Simón Bolívar there is the
career of Higher Technology in Integral Child Development in which
a subject called Children's Literature and its didactics is developed,
among others, tasks are assigned that require the student's creativity
in which their social and cultural environment is evidenced, which
are unpublished and that rest in the classroom platform, facing this
situation we proceed to conduct an investigation on the didactic
resources and how these tasks could be part of this resource, The
result of this would be the verification of the originality of their
productions, motivate students to be builders of education by
generating resources as part of the educational process, and also the
opportunity to develop a booklet of children's literature to strengthen
the professional skills of students becoming a contribution to the
subject and to the TSDII career.

INTRODUCTION
The research focuses on the importance of using the tasks performed
by students as an example of autonomous, unpublished, group and
didactic work that academically generates learning strengths,
creativity, relevant to their work, in addition to the emotional
environment that generates among peers at the time of exposing each
topic the fact of having constructive criticism to improve and/or
correction if necessary, being all part of the construction of
knowledge and optimizing their formative competencies.
This study focuses on developing not only a syllabus for the subject
of children's literature and its didactics, but also on the value of the
products generated by the students and the fact that these are left on
48

48
the platform as part of an academic process, it is necessary to compile
these tasks as an example for the new students of the career.
The subject focuses on the development of linguistic, literary,
didactic, pedagogical skills for the formation of professionals, from
theory and practice, these learning spaces generate opportunities to
create new strengths and competencies that are evaluated not only
from a score or grade but from the cultural diversity of opinions,
participation, plenary that clear doubts about concepts, ideas,
interpretation and sometimes new vocabulary. From this fact, tasks
were generated on the creation of stories, rhymes, tongue twisters,
lullabies, poems, among others, these products should be compiled
for use as a reference and why not as a product that can be offered to
the educational community.
At present, the ISTSB does not have a repository on this topic that
has been compiled as student work, so it remains as a process of
further research for the development of a booklet of children's
literature that can be used as it shares the cultural, social and
academic contribution of each student. This can strengthen new
knowledge and encourage new skills in the students being
stimulating allowing to generate new connections between language
and thought process that occurs continuously in the cerebral
hemispheres every time they have stimuli from the context and
cultural environment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Children's literature has multiple benefits for children ages 2 to 4, as
this early stage of development is critical to their cognitive,
emotional and social growth point followed here are some ways in
which children's literature can benefit children of this age: one.
Language development: children's books bring in new words,
grammatical structures and concepts, helping to enrich the child's
vocabulary and improve their understanding of language. Listening
to stories also allows them to improve their pronunciation and
communication skills. 2. Cognitive stimulation.
Language development in children from 2 to 4 years of age is a
crucial phase in their cognitive and communicative growth. This
process is influenced by a variety of factors, including sociocultural
environments and conditions of vulnerability. Here are some key
aspects to consider: linguistic input (Ortiz, 2021) Children learn
language from what they hear. In socioculturally rich environments,
where there is frequent talk, exposure to a variety of words, and
communication is encouraged, children have more opportunities to
49

Teaching resources to develop competencies in new TSDII students
49
acquire rich and accurate language. In vulnerable environments,
where there is less linguistic stimulation, vocabulary and
grammatical structure may be more limited.
For children from 2 to 4 years old, there are different types of didactic
materials in language that can benefit their development. Some
suggestions include: concepts
1. Picture books: Colorful, simple picture books are an excellent way
to introduce new words and vocabulary to children. They can
choose books with themes and characters that are familiar and
appealing to them.
Vocabulary cards: cards with pictures and words can help children
associate concepts with the corresponding words. You can find
cards with different themes, such as animals, everyday objects,
colors, shapes, etc.
3. Letter puzzles: puzzles that have pieces with letters of the alphabet
are a fun way to familiarize children with the alphabet and the
different letters. You can look for puzzles designed specifically
for young children, with large, eye-catching pieces.
4. Songs and rhymes: Songs and nursery rhymes are a very effective
tool for teaching vocabulary and improving pronunciation. You
can find popular songs that include actions and gestures to make
them even more entertaining.
5. Interactive apps and games: Today, there are numerous interactive
apps and games designed specifically for language learning in
young children. These apps often include interactive activities,
songs and games that help develop language skills.
The most important thing is to adapt the materials to the interests and
abilities of each child. In addition, it is essential to accompany the
use of these with verbal interaction and adult stimulation to ensure
meaningful and fun learning.
The development of linguistic competencies in student educators
towards children from 2 to 4 years of age is addressed within the
academic context through various strategies and approaches. Some
of these are:
Theoretical knowledge: student educators receive theoretical training
on early childhood language development. This enables them to
understand the milestones and stages of language development in
children from 2 to 4 years of age, as well as the best practices to
promote their language acquisition.
Observation and practice: Students have the opportunity to observe
and practice specific techniques and activities to stimulate
language in young children. This may include observation of more

50
experienced educators, participation in hands-on classes or
projects, and direct interactions with preschool-age children.
3. Design of playful activities: students learn to design playful and
creative activities that promote language development in children.
These activities are usually interactive, using games, songs, stories
and didactic materials appropriate for their age.
Assessment and feedback: students also learn to assess children's
language proficiency level and provide individualized feedback.
This involves identifying strengths and areas for improvement,
and adapting teaching strategies according to each child's needs
and learning styles.
Curricular integration: the development of language skills is
integrated into the general curriculum of preschool education.
This implies that student educators learn to design and develop
language activities that are related to other learning areas such as
mathematics, science, art and music.
It is important to note that the primary focus in preschool education
is play and social interaction. Therefore, student educators must be
able to create a safe and stimulating environment where children have
the opportunity to explore, communicate, and learn through language
in a natural and meaningful way.
These children's narratives encourage the development of empathy
and identification with the characters and situations, as children can
put themselves in the protagonists' shoes and reflect on their feelings
and actions. This promotes a greater understanding of human
emotions and helps them develop social skills.
In addition, unpublished narratives can be a powerful tool for
learning other areas of knowledge, such as science, history or
geography. Children can learn about different concepts and
phenomena through stories, which allows them to assimilate and
retain information better.
In summary, the development of unpublished children's narratives is
very relevant for the development of knowledge in children, since it
gives them the opportunity to exercise cognitive and linguistic skills,
fosters their creativity and imagination, promotes empathy and
identification with others, and can be used as an educational tool for
learning other areas of knowledge.
Aguado (2002) presents the basic work of child language studies, El
Desarrollo del lenguaje de 0 a 3 años, where he provides a
comprehensive view of child language, Repasar las etapas pre
lingüística y lingüística y el desarrollo de cada etapa Componentes
lingüísticos (fonología, semántica y morfosintaxis). (Murillo, 2018)

The mother tongue, that is, the language of the home, has a
determining influence on the acquisition of language in children,
their culture and social environment are part of this development. The
students in the TSDII program are from the rural and urban coast,
each one brings a wealth of knowledge from their own environment
that enriches the vocabulary of their classmates and is reflected in the
assigned tasks when developing activities that require empirical
knowledge that they receive from their grandparents, parents and/or
relatives, making their products unpublished.
For Prieto (in Montesdeoca 2017) the image represents "A visual
communication support that materializes a fragment of the universe"
(p. 185).
The author mentions that the image represents reality or a part of it,
but it is never reality itself, it simply symbolizes it, but includes it:
Purpose: because the relevant sector is presented in one way and not
in another.
Construction, because it allows memorization, elements can be added
through editing or editing that completely change the meaning of
what was originally presented.
Expression, because it is possible to transmit information, emotions,
all kinds of feelings through an image. It can be stated that no image
is a copy of reality, there are always intentions, cuts, communications
and expressions. (Moreira Ortiz, 2022). All this is a support or visual
resource for children to express through language the main idea using
the above and achieve the construction of thought.
According to Cerda (1998), "the word describe is traditionally
defined as the act of representing, reproducing or depicting people,
animals or things..."; and he adds: "The most characteristic,
distinctive and particular aspects of these people, situations or things
must be described, that is, those properties that make them
recognizable to the eyes of others" ( p. 71).
Considering the different types of research in the sciences, it is
necessary to understand that in particular the descriptive one
complies with the process that is largely related to the general and
specific objectives and with them the instruments such as observation
and survey. (Bernal, 2010)
RESULTS
The research is based on the importance of conceiving students'
homework as a didactic resource for subsequent educational
processes in the subject of children's literature. The specific
52
Revista Iberoamericana de la Educación, Vol - 8 No. 1, January - March 202 4
Teaching resources to develop competencies in new TSDII students
52
bibliography on the subject has been reviewed and there are few,
almost none.
The children's literature assignments are available on the ISTSB
classroom platform and would be a positive tool in subsequent
promotions since they are creative and unprecedented, thus
stimulating new students according to the opinions and results
obtained in the survey. The students were motivated because their
work could be used as a didactic resource for new classmates and be
the basis for future research.
The results of the surveys are planned for a new research project that
will compile the tasks carried out in a children's literature booklet and
submit them to an anti-plagiarism review.
The research focuses on the study of didactic resources as a means
for the acquisition of learning, the students' assignments were graded
and these in turn are stored in the ISTSB classroom platform without
having a new use, bibliographic research was conducted and the
results were scarce, therefore the results obtained in the survey are
presented, in which the students' enthusiasm is evident because their
products are used and are put into practice as an example and/or
changes if necessary, being a contribution to the subject and that the
career can obtain an unprecedented product.
CONCLUSIONS
In the compilation of the bibliography, there were no comprehensive
results regarding the subject matter, and the definitions were
investigated in order to develop the general objective of the research.
The development of the survey was arduous since the students
investigated are in other cycles and in some cases are already
graduates, however, we worked in a generalized way with a sample
of students of the TSDII career in the fulfillment of the specific
objective.
The students surveyed agree with the compilation of assignments and
that these are part of the didactic resource of the subject of children's
literature in the TSDII course.
The research should continue in order to proceed with the elaboration
of a children's literature booklet useful not only to students but also
in the development of their profession.
The children's literature booklet must be subjected to an anti-
plagiarism check to verify its originality.
