Abstract

Integral education in childhood is fundamental to develop cognitive, communicative, affective, social, creative and practical abilities of students. For that reason, the dynamization of teaching-learning strategies with a holistic approach acquires relevance. This paper presents the aief –an innovative, successful and happy classroom–, a strategy for an integral education in childhood, focused on innovation, playfulness, art, and the development of scientific thought, emotional intelligence and meaningful learning in the training process, which includes the innovative use of technologies and their relationship with the cultural context. Additionally, we present guiding principles and a set of transversal didactics that can be applied directly or with context adaptations by other teachers. Thus, this strategy allows to generate processes where both the student and the teacher are constantly renewed and, from their praxis, they become aware of the transformations of their role, that circulates between learning and teaching.
