Abstract

It is true that research skills are developed throughout life, however, it is the duty of schools to promote and encourage children from childhood to develop these problem-solving skills, whose process is the problematization, analysis, solution and verification of problematic situations. We must also highlight the use of scientific ICT as a virtual pedagogical resource, which allowed us to develop scientific thinking skills in children. We seek to apply the "scientific ICT" program to strengthen research skills in five-year-old children. An experimental type of research was carried out, whose design was pre-experimental, the non-probabilistic sampling represented children28 of initial education, who worked with the "Scientific Tic" program, executing pedagogical activities to develop scientific skills in children, making use of digital platforms; descriptive and inferential statistics and SPSS hypothesis testing were applied. The results show that the implementation of the Scientific ICT program had a significant influence on the achievement of research skills in children. It is concluded that the application of the scientific ICT as a pedagogical resource does develop scientific skills.
