Resumen

Este estudio ofrece un análisis crítico de las técnicas verbales y visuales empleadas en la investigación participativa con niños de 3 a 8 años. Basándose en una revisión de la literatura internacional, identifica las fortalezas y debilidades de dichas técnicas, teniendo en cuenta las habilidades cognitivas, emocionales y sociales de los niños. El objetivo principal es identificar estrategias que favorezcan la participación activa de los niños, permitiéndoles expresar sus propias experiencias y opiniones. Se enfatiza la importancia de integrar enfoques perceptivo-visuales junto con técnicas verbales con el fin de promover una comunicación y relación efectiva con los niños. Esta investigación propone un análisis detallado del estado actual de los métodos de investigación participativa con niños, destacando los desafíos asociados a las técnicas utilizadas.
