TALLER DE “EJERCICIOS MOTRICES” EN EL DESARROLLO DE LA CAPACIDAD COMPRENDE SU CUERPO EN ESTUDIANTES DEL 1° A DE EDUCACIÓN SECUNDARIA DE LA INSTITUCIÓN EDUCATIVA PILLCO MOZO, HUÁNUCO – 2025

Abstract

This research project was contextualized within the educational need to strengthen the holistic development of adolescents, specifically addressing the problem of deficient development of body schema and motor skills observed in schools in Huánuco. The general objective was to determine the influence of a motor exercise program on the development of the ability to "understand their body" in first-year secondary school students (grade A) at the Pillco Mozo Educational Institution during the year 2025. Regarding the methodology, the study was framed within applied research, achieving an explanatory level with a quantitative approach. A pre-experimental, longitudinal design was adopted, which included the application of a motor exercise workshop. The population consisted of 45 students, and the census sample comprised 22 students from first-year grade A. Direct observation was used as the data collection technique, and a validated checklist was used as the data collection instrument. The main diagnostic findings revealed a low level of performance in the bodily, motor, and perceptual dimensions, characterized by limitations in coordination and balance. This assertion is supported by the hypothesis test, with a p-value of 0.00, which is less than 0.005. It was concluded that intervention through planned motor exercises significantly influences the improvement of body awareness, validating the importance of targeted pedagogical approaches to reverse sedentary behavior in schools.
