Abstract

The use of technological tools as a strategy for the development of laterality in primary level students turns out to be motivating, in such a way that it allows them to become interested and assume learning from knowledge extracted from their context, with meaning and relevant meaning for today's society. The objective of this study was to integrate ICT for the development of laterality in 2nd grade students, at the primary level. The research is based on a mixed approach, since a systematic and at the same time critical and empirical process is presented, where statistical data was used to contrast qualitative and quantitative data. A convenience sample of 12 second grade students was taken to carry out the intervention and data collection. It was determined that the students studied had little control over their laterality and tended to confuse their right side with their left; likewise, they confused their laterality when manipulating objects, so they worked with games and technological tools. After the interventions with the use of technological tools, a significant change was evidenced in the acquisition and consolidation of their laterality.
