Percepciones docentes sobre los resultados de las pruebas Ser Estudiante (2022-2023) en Lengua y Literatura: Implicaciones pedagógicas para mejorar el rendimiento académico

Abstract

In the Ecuadorian context, the Ser Estudiante (SETS) tests for the 2022-2023 period in the area of Language and Literature have shown negative results, as a high percentage of students do not reach the established basic achievement levels, especially in the Elementary, Middle, and Higher Basic levels. This article aimed to analyze the perceptions of Language and Literature teachers regarding the results of the 2022-2023 Ser Estudiante tests, with the purpose of identifying pedagogical implications that could contribute to improving students' academic performance. A mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative) was applied, using a survey of 50 teachers and semi-structured interviews with 10 of them. The results indicate that the Ser Estudiante tests are a mechanism for analyzing educational quality and allow for decision-making aimed at continuous improvement. It is concluded that the Ser Estudiante tests represent an important tool that contributes to educational quality, and their impact on teaching practice is significant, but it is limited by the lack of teacher training, so it is recommended to strengthen teacher training and promote the use of active methodologies that allow the development of communicative skills from initial levels.
