Investigación sobre la didáctica de la poesía en la educación infantil y primaria

Abstract

'The Teaching of Poetry in Infant and Primary Education' is a Theory offering an adequate methodology for the introduction and development of poetry in the classroom. This theory is the fruit of an investigation whose main objective is the creation of a practical guide to the teaching of lyrics based on simplicity and progression. Putting it into practice in the field of Primary School Teaching could be of use in the Language area in the field of creativity and literature teaching to the youngest pupils. This guide covers the language that is necessary for the child who usually encourages the teacher to study the rules of poetry with his students as a service for purely pragmatic communication. The idea of creating through poetry allows the creative use of the language and poetry. In this way we overcome the excessively impersonal and systematic approach that tends to characterise teaching. The stepped structure of this theory requires the previous undestanding of the components of literary creation on the part of the teacher as he works through the successive steps, each of which being one of the ingredients of poetry. The theory includes the awareness of the poetic foundations, the structure and the techniques of literary discourse, ensuring in this way the knowledge of the tools which the writer can use as regards aspects of rethoric and literary poetry. The practice of using the different techniques will cause the real motivation of the pupil -'The creation of poetry'- including his own creative work through the ample cover of methodology, with an increasing level of difficulty and open to the use of interdisciplinary awareness.
