Movement integration, shared spaces, active methodologies, physical actvity, Early Childhood Education.Abstract
The aim of this research is to analyze shared spaces, an innovative practice in Early Childhood Education related to movement integration in academic content, as well as its influence on learning and on the amount of physical activity carried out by the students. The study included 25 students (15 boys and 10 girls) of 5 years of age from an educational center in the province of Malaga. The research adopts an analytical-descriptive perspective, using the case study together with other methods of collecting and analyzing information. The results show the need and importance of implementing active methodologies such as shared spaces that increase the amount of physical activity of students, as well as the benefits it brings to physical, cognitive, social development and to teaching-learning processes, which become more active and significant.
