How has the game changed during confinement?
A study by the University of Navarra will analyze how family recreational habits have changed, and is calling for volunteers with minor children.
Board games, arts and crafts, video games... at final, family entertainment has changed since home confinement began. A study by the University of Navarra seeks to analyze how families with minor children played before home confinement, and how they play during quarantine.
"With this research we intend to know and improve the conditions of play in childhood", explain the researchers of project Apolinar Varela, professor of the School of Education and Psychology of the University of Navarra, and Silvia López-Gómez, professor of the University of Santiago de Compostela and UNIR.
The study seeks volunteers, with minor children, who would like to participate by completing the following form questionnaire.
Furthermore, the research aims to explore how parents perceived play before confinement, and how they do so now. In addition to the above-mentioned objectives, there is another long-term goal deadline: "In future research, our goal is to improve perspectives on the right to play in childhood," say the experts.
"This research will provide a good opportunity to increase the knowledge and understanding of the reality of play in the home during childhood and adolescence," the researchers note.
