Teaching strategies to improve attention and concentration in children with learning difficulties in fourth-grade Natural

Abstract

Attention and concentration constitute essential skills for meaningful learning, particularly in the area of Natural Sciences, where observation, reasoning, and the comprehension of phenomena demand a high level of focus from the student. The aim of this article is to design didactic strategies for enhancing attention and concentration in Natural Sciences learning for fourth-year basic education students. The diagnostic assessment revealed difficulties in sustained attention, concentration during prolonged tasks, understanding instructions, and the orderly execution of experimental activities. Based on these results, didactic strategies were designed, structured into objective, content, attention and concentration activities, description, evaluation, and resources. The validation of the proposal shows positive indicators. The obtained results confirm the feasibility and relevance of the didactic strategies.
