Lectura inferencial de leyendas en estudiantes de sexto año de E.G.B: secuencia didáctica

Abstract

Based on an empirical observation, a necessity for improvement was identified on the inferential reading skills of a population of students at Ignacio Escandón Public School in Cuenca, during the 2020 – 2021 academic year. Thus, the present research project was conducted with the purpose of refining reading comprehension on the inferential level on this population. Employing a qualitative methodology, a diagnostic study was conducted. This, in turn, backed up the construction of a didactic sequence based on the narrative resource of folk legends to motivate student engagement during learning sessions. The research population consisted of 25 students on whom the diagnostic instruments and didactic intervention were applied. The findings showed evidence that the designed didactic sequence supported improvement on certain dimensions related to critical and reflexive capacity of students. Therefore, it is recommended to continue using these instruments to answer the students’ needs on the immediate and long term.
