Se presenta un estudio en el que se indaga sobre la evolución en la adquisición y desarrollo de la conciencia morfológica en niños de 5 a 7 años. Se trata de una investigación llevada a cabo en tres momentos distintos a lo largo de dos cursos académicos, en los que se evaluó conciencia morfológica en función de dos planos. Los datos indican un incremento en el desarrollo de la conciencia morfológica desde finales de la Educación Infantil a primeros de Educación Primaria, constatándose la adquisición en un primer momento del plano de juicio morfológico, y del plano de producción morfológica en segundo lugar. Además, se genera un patrón de adquisición de los distintos parámetros que integran la morfología.
Morphological awareness: Development trends and patterns of evolution in kindergarten and primary education. We present a study that investigates changes in the acquisition and development of morphological awareness in children from 5 to 7 years old. This investigation was carried out on three separate occasions over two academic years, in which morphological awareness was assessed according to two levels. The data indicate an increase in the morphological awareness development from the kindergarten to primary education, verifying the acquisition in the first instance of the morphological judgment level and secondly, of morphological production level. It also generates a pattern of acquisition of the various parameters that make up morphology.
