Ava para la comprensión lectora en la asignatura de lengua y literatura de los estudiantes de cuarto año EGB Rumiñahui

Abstract

This research is based on the integration of the use of a VLE for comprehensive reading in the areas of language and literature. The use of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is considered as a creative initiative to promote cooperative, active, relevant and independent learning, enhancing the role of the teacher as a guide and moderator. The concept of educational innovation is considered in this sense as the embodiment of an initiative aimed at introducing modifications in the instructional process through information and communication technologies in order to make it easier for teachers to evaluate their students. To develop the prototype of the project, the Chamilo platform was used, which contains a simple to use interface where it is possible to create courses and add the material needed through lessons that allow you to order and present content in an organized manner to students, especially it can be used through any mobile device. The intention of this study is to propose the AVA environment as a pedagogical support for the practice of reading in the subject of language and literature. For this purpose, it was applied to the basic education school "Rumiñahui", where the population was the entire educational institution, and the sample consisted of 23 students of the 4th grade EGB, also with the advice of the teacher, tutor of that course. In such a way that we resorted to the use of qualitative and quantitative approaches where a pretest and posttest were used, applying an interview and a survey, which were used to collect data on the different interactions they had with the prototype and their point of view. To calculate the data, we chose to use the SPSS program (IBM), because it allows a visual representation of the values that allows us to make a comparison in a more interpretative way. The graphs in SPSS are very useful to summarize a large amount of data or to make reports, which facilitates in its results, in addition to being able to choose between several designs that are found, improving the productivity of the project. In the first experience the AVA Chamilo prototype was presented to the teacher of the subject, where an induction of its functionalities and components was made and then proceeded to conduct an interview to know her suggestions, in the second experience the prototype was presented to the students with their respective changes suggested by the teacher and then proceeded to the application of Pretest and Posttest surveys in order to evaluate the resolution obtained. In conclusion, through the interview and surveys it was found that the Virtual Learning Environment proved to be a great reinforcement strategy for the teaching processes, because during the experiences a great acceptance was achieved by the teacher and the students since they felt comfortable using the platform in class and maintained a constant motivation to use it.
