La Programación Orientada a Objetos (POO) es fundamental en el desarrollo de software; sin embargo, su enseñanza enfrenta desafíos debido a la naturaleza abstracta de sus conceptos. Este artículo presenta el EPLM (Embodied Programming Learning Method), un método innovador basado en el aprendizaje incorporado para la enseñanza de la programación orientada a objetos. El método integra actividades interactivas y herramientas tangibles y tecnológicas para facilitar la comprensión de conceptos clave de POO como clases, objetos, métodos, encapsulación, herencia y polimorfismo. La investigación implicó el desarrollo y aplicación del método con 39 estudiantes de educación técnica, divididos en grupos experimentales y de control. Los resultados sugieren ganancias en la comprensión de los conceptos, y el grupo experimental muestra un desempeño superior en todos los conceptos evaluados, oscilando entre el 80% y el 90% de uso, en comparación con el 58-65% del grupo de control. Los resultados también sugieren que el método contribuyó a un mayor compromiso y motivación y que el 95% de los estudiantes recomendaron su aplicación en otros contextos educativos. Este trabajo contribuye a la literatura al presentar un enfoque práctico para la enseñanza de la POO que integra experiencias corporales en el proceso de aprendizaje.
