vol. 10 núm. 1 (2020): el sentido del juego en el ocio y la recreación latinoamericana

This article is the result of a research process that raised the relevance of considering the game as a determining factor in human development - from individual and social perspectives. For this, a bibliographic review was made, from the perspective of critical theory, on the main concepts of the research: game and human development. Subsequently, an analysis of those common aspects in both concepts was carried out, understanding the way in which these are related from the approach of aspects such as: creativity-reproduction; collectivity; solidarity-competition; freedom-subordination.
