Abstract
La industria del software está centrando sus esfuerzos en el sector de edades que comprenden la etapa de educación infantil aprovechando las cualidades multimedia de la tecnología existente. Sin embargo, estas cualidades tecnológicas no son suficientes. Para que un software sea de calidad y cumpla con el objetivo de educar debe ajustarse a características específicas de los usuarios finales. De esta manera, con el fin de hallar estas características específicas se realizó una exploración de diferentes herramientas educativas para niños de la primera infancia a través de un estudio cuasi-experimental. A partir de los resultados se generaron lineamientos a tener en cuenta en el desarrollo de herramientas educativas interactivas para el desarrollo psicomotriz en niños de 3 a 5 años de edad, los cuales fueron validados a través de un prototipo experimental llamado “Jugueteando en mis primeros pasos.” Los productos de la investigación pretenden aportar buenas prácticas para los desarrolladores de software que tienen como objetivo este tipo de usuarios, además de presentar una herramienta potencial de apoyo pedagógico en los procesos de estimulación para el desarrollo psicomotriz

Educative technology and the theoretical emphasis associated with teaching/learning activities during the twentieth century impacted educational practices in these educational organizations
In recent years the software industry is focusing its efforts on the age range of Childhood Education, under the old formula “playful learning”, and taking the utmost advantage of multimedia qualities offered by computer equipment (Urbina, 2000)
When selecting educative resources to use in teaching, besides its objective quality, metrics of specific characteristics should be considered. (Ministerio de Educación y Cultura Española, 2003)

Educative technology and the theoretical emphasis associated with teaching/learning activities during the twentieth century impacted educational practices in these educational organizations. The training of teachers, selection, use and evaluation of media allowed the assessment of contributions to educative system without neglecting the concepts of learning theory and didactic contribution to improvements in the twentieth century (Ferrer & Salas, 2009). In recent years the software industry is focusing its efforts on the age range of Childhood Education, under the old formula “playful learning”, and taking the utmost advantage of multimedia qualities offered by computer equipment (Urbina, 2000). Nowadays, educative tools can be acquired whose users include even those less than three years old. When selecting educative resources to use in teaching, besides its objective quality, metrics of specific characteristics should be considered.
