Abstract

This article describes the educational experience of a pre-service teacher of the Bachelor's Degree in Preschool Education at the "Valle del Mezquital" Normal School, with a third-grade group from a kindergarten in the municipality of Tlahuelilpan, Hidalgo. It analyzes the professional practice and implementation of a didactic proposal that arises from the students' concern about high temperatures in their municipality, based on changes in the climate, for which they express concern and conjecture about the consequences. The STEAM methodology was adopted for didactic design, through which results were achieved around contextualized learning. This gave rise to the design of two prototypes that were developed to reduce the consequences of heat in the school environment, in a process of solving a real and significant problem for the group. From this, they developed skills for inquiry, collaboration, and creation. For her part, the pre-service teacher acquired the initial experience and knowledge of this approach to preschool education.
