Abstract
Introducción: El estrecho contacto con el entorno natural, la actividad física y la educación ambiental se presentan como elementos esenciales en el desarrollo infantil, en cuanto a la construcción de un estilo de vida saludable y sostenible.
Objetivo: El propósito fue analizar la influencia del contacto con el entorno natural en la actividad física y la educación ambiental durante la primera infancia (0-6 años) como parte de la formación integral en los centros educativos.
Metodología: Se aplicó el protocolo PRISMA, buscando artículos científicos en español e inglés en cuatro bases de datos: Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC y Dialnet. De los 413 documentos encontrados, 10 cumplieron los criterios de inclusión previamente establecidos, incluyendo artículos relativos a programas de intervención, análisis de concepciones de profesorado y artículos teórico-pedagógicos relacionados con el objeto de estudio.
Resultados: Se comprobó una contribución positiva del contacto con el entorno natural a la actividad física y, en la mayor parte de los casos, un gran potencial para la educación ambiental.
Discusión: Los resultados van en la línea de investigaciones recientes que destacan el papel relevante de la práctica de actividad física en el medio natural para la mejora de la salud, el respeto por el medio ambiente y la importancia de la educación para el desarrollo sostenible.
Conclusiones: La educación ambiental en la primera infancia es fundamental para formar individuos responsables con el entorno desde edades tempranas y, para esto, se percibe la necesidad de una mejor formación docente en este ámbito
Introduction: Close contact with the natural environment, physical activity and environmental education are as essential elements in children's development, in terms of building a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Objective: The purpose was to analyze the influence of contact with the natural environment on physical activity and environmental education during early childhood (0-6 years) as part of comprehensive education in schools. Methodology: The PRISMA protocol was applied, searching for scientific articles in Spanish and English in four databases: Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC and Dialnet. Of the 413 documents found, 10 met the previously established inclusion criteria, including articles related to intervention programmes, analysis of teachers' conceptions and theoretical-pedagogical articles related to the object of study. Results: Contact with the natural environment was found to have a positive contribution to physical activity and, in most cases, immense potential for environmental education. Discussion: The results are in line with recent research highlighting the significant role of physical activity in the natural environment for improving health, fostering respect for the environment, and the importance of education for sustainable development. Conclusions: Environmental education in early childhood is essential for developing individuals who are environmentally responsible from an early age. Therefore, there is a perceived need for better teacher training in this area
