Technopedagogy and Digital Tools In The Teaching and Learning Process of Gross Motor Skills In Early Child-Hood Education

This article analyzes the impact of technopedagogy and digital tools on the devel-opment of gross motor skills in early childhood education. Based on a compara-tive theoretical framework and a systematic documentary review, it proposes a technopedagogical methodology structured in four phases: exploration, instruc-tion, practice, and reflection. These phases integrate technologies such as virtual reality, wearable devices, and interactive applications. Additionally, the "MoveSmart Kids App" is introduced as a tool offering gamified activities, aug-mented reality experiences, and real-time feedback to foster personalized motor learning. The study emphasizes the importance of ensuring technological accessi-bility, teacher digital competence, and data privacy. It concludes that technopeda-gogical strategies can significantly enhance gross motor skill development when integrated thoughtfully and ethically, proposing future empirical validation and exploration of its application across diverse educational contexts.
