Resumen
This documentary research aims to determine the importance of didactic materials in Peruvian early childhood education. Based on the analysis of national and international theoretical and empirical sources, the study explores the role of didactic materials in three fundamental learning dimensions: discovery learning, social learning, and meaningful learning. First, the findings show that didactic materials support discovery learning by encouraging children to explore, manipulate, and interact actively with their environment, as proposed by Bruner. Second, from Vygotsky's perspective, these materials promote social learning by facilitating peer interaction and teacher mediation, creating collaborative settings that enhance cognitive and emotional development. Third, aligned with Ausubel’s theory, didactic materials enable children to connect new knowledge with their prior experiences, fostering meaningful learning that is practical, contextualized, and enduring. This study adopted a qualitative approach, utilizing a documentary research method. The bibliographic technique was key for data collection, involving a comprehensive review and content analysis of primary and secondary sources that underpin the research; in addition to the use of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Obtaining from this search a documentary sample consisting of 30 bibliographic references. Overall, the research highlights that didactic materials are essential tools for providing playful, inclusive, and dynamic learning experiences in early childhood education. Their effective use contributes to the integral development of children and the continuous improvement of educational quality.
