The research group "Body, movement, music and curricular practices" is an interdisciplinary group that aims to understand the factors that impact the process of construction of identity and personal autonomy of children with special attention to movement and music in the Early Childhood Education curriculum. In general, it carries out research and dissemination activities on curricular practices on the body, movement and music in schools that teach the first and second cycle of Early Childhood Education. In particular, it carries out its research activity under five lines of research in which the need to analyse the curricular practices that condition the knowledge of the body and its possibilities of action through the use of strategies and instruments such as the use of content analysis, critical discourse analysis, the use of observational systems of registration, among others, is highlighted. At the same time, it participates in research and educational innovation projects that seek to transfer the knowledge built in the research both in teacher training and with practising teachers. The members of the group participate in the Master's or Master's degrees in Preschool...The research group "Body, movement, music and curricular practices" is an interdisciplinary group that aims to understand the factors that impact the process of construction of identity and personal autonomy of children with special attention to movement and music in the Early Childhood Education curriculum.

- Desarrollar metodos didacticos basados en el Movimiento musical desde el aula universitaria como paso previo para su validacion en el espacio educativo infantil.
- Desarrollar, analizar y validar propuestas didacticas basadas en el Movimiento musical y promotoras de las areas motora, cognitiva y socioafectiva, para garantizar la atencion a la diversidad funcional.
- Analizar la representacion del cuerpo en los materiales curriculares y extracurriculares utilizados en la educacion infantil
- Analizar los diferentes metodos didacticos utilizados en el ambito de la motricidad infantil
- Realizar un diagnostico sobre las acciones, programas y estrategias utilizadas en la promocion de la actividad fisica en el curriculo de la Educacion Infantil
- Critical analysis of the representation of the body in curricular and extracurricular materials used in Preschool Education.This line of research aims to describe and understand the construction of the concept of the body in curricular and extracurricular materials used in the Early Childhood Education curriculum. For this purpose, different methodological tools are included to study the construction of the concept of the body such as content analysis and critical discourse analysis of both visual representations and written text. Based on the results of this line of research, it is intended that teachers in practice and in training learn to critically assess the curricular materials they use in their classrooms, as well as to propose alternative curricular materials that promote an appropriate image of children.
- Didactic methods used in children's motor education.This line of research aims to analyse the different teaching methods used in the field of children's motor skills and music that play a leading role in the development of personal autonomy, including musical methods based on expression and body movement as the main form of work. To this end, we use different observational systems used both in psychomotor skills classrooms and in the traditional classroom, which allow us to analyse the didactic knowledge of the content, the role of the teachers and the impact of the space, the curricular materials, the musical elements and the alternative tools used in the Early Childhood Education curriculum.
- Promoting physical activity in the Preschool Education curriculum.This line of research aims to analyse the actions, programmes and strategies used to promote physical activity in the Early Childhood Education curriculum. In general, we analyse the correlates and determinants of physical activity in and out of school that can have a positive impact on the integral development of children. In particular, physical activity behaviour during children's motor skills sessions is analysed by means of qualitative observational systems as well as quantitative systems for measuring physical activity.
- University training in music movement for Preschool Education.The aim of this line of research is, on the one hand, to analyse the methodological proposals and musical tools used in the university classroom to favour the comprehensive development of children in Early Childhood Education. On the other hand, to develop innovative proposals based on musical movement so that future Early Childhood Education teachers who do not specialise in music can apply the multiple possibilities for cognitive, socioaffective, motor and verbal development offered by the application of musical movement activities during this educational stage.
- Attention to functional diversity through Movement with Music.The aim of this line of research is to analyse the impact of musicalised movement and corporal expression practices on pupils with functional diversity in Early Childhood Education. This analysis will allow university lecturers to develop methodological proposals with the appropriate tools to improve the motor skills of these pupils, thus favouring the training of future Early Childhood Education lecturers by enabling them to start researching and verifying the usefulness of the proposed practices in the practical didactic approaches of the university classroom. At the same time, the aim is to develop rehabilitation programmes for gross and fine motor problems in infant education pupils, in which traditional physiotherapy proposals are combined with appropriate musical elements, so as to enhance the expected results and establish new inter- and multidisciplinary lines of action for motor functional diversity.
