Resumen

Un número creciente de estudios indica que la exposición temprana a la música y el movimiento (M&M) impacta positivamente en la autorregulación infantil. Sin embargo, se ha prestado poca atención a lo que las y los docentes de infantil saben y creen sobre la relación entre M&M y la autorregulación, y menos aún a cómo sus propias experiencias de M&M se relacionan con sus conocimientos y creencias. El presente estudio investiga dichos temas utilizando datos de encuestas de 306 maestros de infantil de Hong Kong. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos, de correlación y pruebas t de muestras independientes. La mayoría de participantes creían poseer un alto nivel de comprensión sobre el tema, en particular aquellas con experiencia en M&M. Dichas participantes tenían creencias más sólidas de que M&M fomenta la autorregulación infantil, específicamente las habilidades de coordinación motora, el control de impulsos y el manejo emocional. Concluimos que el conocimiento y las creencias de las y los docentes de infantil sobre el papel de la M&M para apoyar la autorregulación están influenciados por sus propias experiencias de M&M. A mayor experiencia, más profundo será su entendimiento sobre cómo la M&M contribuye a las habilidades de autorregulación infantil. La principal implicación es la necesidad de exponer aún más a las y los docentes de Infantil a las experiencias de aprendizaje de M&M, ya sea de manera formal o informal.
