diseño e implementación de una app educativa innovadora que favorezca la comprensión lectora en la asignatura lengua y literatura de los estudiantes de octavo año de educación general básica de la unidad educativa "república del perú

Abstract

The objective of this degree work is the design and implementation of a mobile educational application as a strategy that favors reading comprehension of eighth grade students of the “República del Perú” High School. For its respective development, the researchers made previous observations, which detailed the need to strengthen the reading skills of young people, since it is a key competence for them to relate new knowledge with previous ones, thus achieving a deeper and more meaningful learning. This initial diagnosis revealed that many students had a low interest in traditional reading, which affected their ability to analyze and understand texts, affecting other areas of knowledge. Therefore, the application seeks to motivate students through technological and interactive experiences, promoting effective communication, critical thinking and problem solving skills. For its effective development, an approach based on the ADDIE methodology was applied, which allows a structured and flexible planning, ensuring that all contents and sections are relevant and attractive, thus aligning with the educational needs of the users. This methodology not only focused on design and implementation, but also guarantees that Cáneze-Reading is evaluated in real classroom conditions, ensuring its pedagogical relevance . This methodology also facilitates constant evaluation of the product, which is indispensable for optimizing its functionality. A key innovation is the incorporation of a section where the student can listen to the texts through audio, which not only improves reading comprehension, but also caters to different learning styles and reinforces listening skills. The first phase, i.e. experience I, was carried out with the participation of the teacher in charge, who provided a didactic unit plan as a basis for the development of the resources and activities integrated in the mobile application. After an initial presentation and navigation, her opinion was gathered through an interview to determine whether the tool is adequate to improve the learning process and what adjustments would be necessary for its optimization. This feedback was fundamental to ensure its correct application with the students in the second interaction. In the second interaction, a demonstration class was carried out, which was applied directly with the students, including a pre-test and a post-test during the development of this experience. The pre-test allows measuring the initial reading skills, while the post-test evidences the impact of Caneze-Reading on the students' progress. The results obtained were elaborated in bar graphs with the help of the SPSS program, for subsequent analysis and interpretation. These data confirmed that the mobile application mostly fulfills the objective by significantly increasing reading comprehension, consolidating itself as an innovative and effective strategy in the educational context. In addition, the positive comments from the students reflected that the tool increased their motivation towards reading, contributing to comprehensive learning.
