In terms of purpose, the study was developmental–applied; in terms of research nature, it was an interpretive study with an inductive approach; in terms of data type, it was qualitative; and in terms of time dimension, it was a cross-sectional study. The statistical population consisted of children aged 6 to 9 years, from whom 10 children were selected as the sample through purposive sampling. The research instruments included observation and semi-structured interviews. The data obtained from the interviews and the textual materials derived from the researcher’s observations were analyzed using two techniques: phenomenological analysis based on Colaizzi’s seven-step method and thematic analysis conducted with MAXQDA software. In the phenomenological analysis of children’s reactions, diverse observations were obtained regarding how children perceive and experience this content. These reactions indicate the development of identity, moral growth, and emotional processing in children, which contribute to their holistic development in emotional, moral, and cognitive dimensions.</p> https://journalapes.com/index.php/apes/article/download/211/254
