THE INCORPORATION OF MUSIC IN THE LEARNING OF MATHEMATICS IN EARLY EDUCATION -5 YEARS- IN TWO EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF THE UGEL HUÁNUCO, 2024.

Abstract

The Daniel Alomía Robles National University (UNDAR) has three main objectives: professional training, scientific research and social responsibility. It trains professionals in Music Education and the Arts, who then join the Public Teaching Career of the Ministry of Education (Minedu) or private education, complying with the regulations of the National Curriculum of Regular Basic Education (CNEBR). However, it has been observed that in many educational institutions there is a weak articulation of the curricular area of Art and Culture with other areas, such as Mathematics. This research aims to describe how early childhood education teachers (5 years old) in two educational institutions of the UGEL Huánuco integrate music in the learning of mathematics. The research approach is qualitative, descriptive and phenomenological in design. The sample included two teachers and seventeen parents. Through interviews and technical documentary analysis of the pedagogical folders, it was evident that although music is mainly used to maintain order in the classroom, its direct integration in the teaching of mathematics is minimal. Parents, on the other hand, are unaware of the relationship between music and mathematics, which limits their ability to support their children at home. The results suggest the need for greater training in the integration of musical projects within the teaching of mathematics to improve the quality of education at the initial level.
