Abstract
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar el efecto del tipo de interacción directa e indirecta, en la adquisición de sustantivos abstractos en niños de 4 a 5 años. Se empleó un diseño cuantitativo, cuasi experimental, de tipo comparativo y transversal. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 27 niños seleccionados mediante muestreo intencional, qu ienes fueron asignados aleatoriamente a una de dos condiciones experimentales: interacción directa, en la que el aprendizaje se realizó mediante un títere guiado por el experimentador; e interacción indirecta, en la que se usaron videos pregrabados con el mismo contenido. Como instrumentos se aplicaron la prueba PLON - R para evaluar habilidades lingüísticas (Forma, Contenido y Uso), una prueba experimental de aprendizaje de sustantivos abstractos y una escala Likert de observación conductual para valorar la atención, disposición y seguimiento de instrucciones. Los datos fueron analizados mediante estadísticos descriptivos, correlaciones de Spearman y pruebas U de Mann – Whitney. Los resultados no mostraron diferencias significativas entre las condiciones, aunqu e se observó una leve tendencia hacia un mejor desempeño en la condición indirecta. Asimismo, se halló una correlación positiva entre la atención y el desempeño total en la prueba experimental. Los hallazgos sugieren que, bajo ciertas condiciones de diseñ o, los videos pregrabados pueden favorecer el aprendizaje de palabras nuevas, siempre que incluyan recursos expresivos y tiempos de pausa que mantengan la atención del niño.
The present study aimed to analyze the effect of direct and indirect interaction on the acquisition of abstract nouns in children aged 4 to 5 years. A quantitative, quasi - experimental, comparative, and cross - sectional design was employed. The sample consisted of 27 children selected through purposive sampling, who were randomly assigned to one of two experimental conditions: direct interaction, in which learning occurred through a puppet operated by the experimenter; and indirect interaction, in which pre - recorded videos with the same content were used. The instruments included the PLON - R test to assess linguistic abilities (Form, Content, and Use), an experimental test designed to evaluate the learning o f abstract nouns, and a Likert - scale behavioral observation checklist measuring attention, engagement, and instruction - following. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman correlations, and Mann – Whitney U tests. Results showed no significan t differences between conditions, although a light tren d suggested better performance in the indirect condition. A positive correlation was also found between attention and overall performance on the experimental test. These findings suggest that, under cer tain design conditions, pre - recorded videos may support the learning of new words, especially when they include expressive resources and pause intervals that help maintain children’s attention.
