Educaplay en la lectoescritura de los estudiantes del quinto año EGB de la Escuela Zoila Ugarte de Landívar período 2021

Abstract

Within this research, the found qualities of the object of study are presented, which arose from the need to promote the creation of virtual activities to develop literacy skills through the Educaplay platform aimed at 5th year EGB students from the Zoila Ugarte school of Landívar of the El Guabo canton, with the intention of encouraging the active participation of both the student and the teacher. The teaching-learning of literacy should not be mechanized with traditional and behavioral resources, but rather should be constructivist, for which the teacher must use technology as a didactic means to develop their activities, taking into account that educational platforms provide the facility to design and work with activities of various kinds, that is, with any content and subject, such is the case of Educaplay, which provides activities in which students can interact and activate their language skills and competencies. The methodology used is quantitative-qualitative approach based on the type of applied field research, with theoretical and numerical data, developed in an exploratory, explanatory and descriptive way that correspond to the research levels. Intentional non-probability sampling was also used to determine the population sample. The results of the research were obtained mainly from a survey applied to 5th year teachers where questions related to the domain of digital platforms and the development of literacy skills were asked, obtaining a positive result regarding the proposed hypotheses, where It was found that teachers are not trained to address content through virtual activities, much less use digital platforms, so students do not present a substantial development of reading and writing habits with which they can continue with the following levels of school training Reading and writing are linguistic skills that every child must develop perfectly at an early age in the first years of their school year in order to continue their cognitive development and acquire meaningful learning, but this is not possible if they are applied Always strategies, the same repetitive reading as usual is done, therefore, it is necessary to make use of technology to make the most of the resources and facilities that they can offer us, of course you need to be trained to be able to work through educational platforms. The teaching and learning processes present a constant transformation, so ingenuity and creativity is very important to motivate students and awaken their abilities and skills. Therefore, educational platforms are an excellent alternative to teach content related to reading and writing. Within the research, we present the Educaplay platform as an educational tool capable of activating the learner's skills and developing their language skills through interactive activities that help improve the academic performance of students with an active and dynamic methodology that encourages constructivism.
