Resumen
En este artículo resumo los resultados de mi tesis doctoral sobre el tema de la construcción del concepto tiempo en niños y niñas de 1° a 6° grado de la educación general básica, particularmente desde el aprendizaje que se da
de éste en los Estudios Sociales en Costa Rica. Utilicé en el estudio un diseño mixto; en este caso, reporto solamente los resultados del componente cuantitativo y la aplicación de un cuestionario con 148 niños y niñas. Encontré que se da un dominio creciente de los diversos componentes del concepto tiempo conforme se avanza en el sistema educativo, pero que el dominio depende más de las experiencias que de los aprendizajes formales, y que aún en 6to grado muchos niños y niñas tienen dificultades con nociones básicas del concepto.
In this article, I summarize the results of my doctoral thesis on the construction of the concept of time in children from first to sixth grade in basic general education, particularly through the approach to time learning in Social Studies in Costa Rica. I used a mixed-method design for the study; in this case, I report only the results of the quantitative component and the administration of a questionnaire to 148 children. I found that there is increasing mastery of the various components of the concept of time as one progresses through the educational system, but that mastery depends more on experience than on formal learning, and that even in sixth grade, many children struggle with basic notions of the concept.
