abstract = {Background: Despite its social importance, the learning associated with STEAM thinking
(science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) we consider is not fully developed in
classrooms. Objectives: This research proposes to promote STEAM skills through game-based
learning.. Design: These were used to design an integrated educational proposal, called the Micro
Play Project (MPL), following the principles of game-based learning and an intercultural approach
focused on Ethnomathematics. Setting and Participants: This MPL was implemented in a Spanish
school with small groups of students from Pre-school and Primary Education, dedicating three
sessions to each of the four games, which were recorded on video. Data collection and analysis:
Studying the Jamaican culture, we discovered that the game is a relevant cultural sign in Jamaica,
we compiled and analyzed its traditional games, generating a catalog, from which we selected four
games, for their potential to develop STEAM learning at school .Qualitative-interpretive research
was carried out through a case study and content analysis, using a proprietary tool. Results: they
are diverse skills, artistic, scientific and mathematical manifested when playing, such as: musical
sense, detection of similarities, ability to turn, identification of shapes, estimation of distances,
formulation of hypotheses and establishment of relationships by criteria, which have confirmed the
didactic potential of these games, in an environment of ethnomathematical intercultural education.
Conclusions: The validity of the MPL as a didactic method to develop STEAM learning is deduced
from the results. We hope to strengthen and spread this method by making new elaborations and
applications of MPL.},
abstract = {Antecedentes: Pese a su importancia social, los aprendizajes asociados al pensamiento
STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) consideramos no se desarrollan
integradamente en las aulas suficientemente. Objetivos: Esta investigación propone favorecer las
destrezas STEAM mediante el aprendizaje basado en juegos.. Diseño: Estos fueron utilizados para
diseñar una propuesta educativa integrada, denominada Micro Proyecto Lúdico (MPL), siguiendo los
principios del aprendizaje basado en juegos y un enfoque intercultural centrado en Etnomatemáticas.
Entorno y Participantes: Este MPL se implementó en un centro escolar español con pequeños
grupos de estudiantes de Educación Infantil y Primaria, dedicando tres sesiones a cada uno de los
cuatro juegos, que fueron grabadas en vídeo. Datos recopilados y análisis: Estudiando la cultura
jamaicana, descubrimos que el juego es un signo cultural relevante en Jamaica, recopilamos
y analizamos sus juegos tradicionales, generando un catálogo, del cual seleccionamos cuatro
juegos, por sus potencialidades para desarrollar en la escuela aprendizajes STEAM. Se realizó
investigación cualitativa-interpretativa mediante un estudio de casos y análisis de contenido,
empleando una herramienta propia. Resultados: son diversas destrezas, artísticas, científicas y
matemáticas manifestadas al jugar, cómo: sentido musical, detección de semejanzas, capacidad de
giro, identificación de formas, estimación de distancias, formulación de hipótesis y establecimiento
de relaciones por criterios, que han confirmado el potencial didáctico de estos juegos, en un entorno
de educación intercultural etnomatemática. Conclusiones: Se deduce de los resultados la validez
del MPL como método didáctico para desarrollar aprendizajes STEAM. Esperamos afianzar y
difundir este método realizando nuevas elaboraciones y aplicaciones de MPL.},
