ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research has been to analyze the impact of the “ENFOCÁTE” programme in selective and focalized attention in the third level Primary children at the Trajano school in Mérida. The sample was made by 43 children aged 8-9. Two tests were given to all of them: the caras test and D2 test, after the test, the “ENFÓCATE” programme, designed to improved atentional process, were given to 24 students and after that, we passed the tests again with all the students. The results indicate that we can’t stand by that using this programme has been effective to improve selective and focalized attention on the sample. Nevertheless, it would be neccesary to improve another future studies where conditions in application will change and so we will see the effects with more details. The results indicate that under the conditions in which the study was conducted it can’t be considered that the implementation of the program has been effective on its own (due to participant’s evolution time) to improve selective and focalized attention of the participants. However, we believe that the results cannot be extrapolated and it would be necessary to develop future studies with different conditions to develop the program in order to continue measuring accurately its effectiveness. We believe that researches like this should lead to reflection on how and under what conditions psycho-educational programs are applied to be truly effective.
