Enlazados con la primera infancia: sistematización de una experiencia de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria en contexto de pandemia

Abstract

The article systematizes a University Social Responsibility pedagogy experience carried out by Early Childhood and Audiovisual Communication students of a private university in Lima. The project called "Linked to early childhood: playing and learning at home with the family" was awarded with the USR Student Initiatives Fund in response to COVID-19 in 2020 with the objective of promoting the development of early childhood pedagogical strategies and digital resources for an adequate interaction between teachers and children in a distance educational environment. One qualitative survey was used to assess the learning of the participant teachers and another one was applied to the volunteer students. The University Social Responsibility experience strengthened the students' leadership skills, their committed participation with social agents, their connection with the environment and consolidated their decision-making skills in the face of a critical situation for the benefit of early childhood. Regarding the teachers who benefited from the project, it was observed that they valued the close contact with the university and the workshops to improve their digital skills, which were applied during the classes with children and their families, making use of technology and various means of communication.
