Evaluación de la aceptación del profesorado en juegos tradicionales basados en el movimiento creativo para aumentar la imaginación de niños de preescolar

This research aims to explore the urgency, content expectations, and teachers' attitudes towards learning creative dance based on traditional folk games in building the imagination of preschool children. Knowledge about the teacher's urgency, content, and attitude is needed to develop a creative dance learning model that can increase the imagination of preschool children using traditional folk games. A survey conducted on 40 preschool teachers in Malaysia showed that teachers felt an urgency to improve children's imagination (mean = 4.48), proposed some content related to traditional games (mean = 4.45), and saw that traditional games could inspire a creative movement to increase children's imagination (mean = 4.41). This research is still in the early stages of evaluating teacher needs and readiness and has not yet reached the design or empirical testing of the Active-Tradir model. Nevertheless, these findings provide a strong basis for further development and implementation of a future creative movement learning model based on traditional games, which we have named "Creative Movement Based on Folk Traditional Games (Active-Tradir)."
