Transformation in the transition from preschool to elementary school.

Abstract

The impact of the application of articulation strategies related to harmonic transitions in the biological, psychological and social dimensions of the students in the achievement of school adaptation at the beginning of the first grade is analyzed. An applied-type quantitative approach was used in an experimental design in the northeastern educational area of Cali, Colombia in 12 initial education institutions with a sample of 360 students divided into two groups: control and experimental. The study indicates that if the aforementioned strategies are applied, the adaptation improves significantly in the dimensions observed with transformations in school culture and communication between teachers of different educational levels, study plans, methodologies and learning environments.
