El microrrelato y La sueñera (1984) de Ana María Shua como estrategia activa para la mediación lectora en estudiantes de EGB superior

Abstract

Among the challenges faced by EGB teachers when promoting the construction of the reading habit in their students is the lack of didactic strategies designed to achieve this goal. As a contribution to solve this problem, this project aims to design a series of active strategies of reading mediation using as an instrument seven micro-stories from the book La sueñera (1984) by Ana María Shua, whose theme is centered on the oneiric. In these works the author covers dreaming and waking, presenting dark and colorful images by associating reality and fantasy. For this project, seven active strategies proposed by Cangalaya (2010) were taken as a basis, which were adapted to the micro-stories of La Sueñera and tested with students in the tenth grade of EGB superior of the "Martha Bucaram de Roldós" Public Education Unit. Methodologically, it is a qualitative research design that considers two phases: literary analysis and didactic design. For the literary analysis of the selected micro-stories, a hermeneutic perspective was used (Garrido Dominguez, 2004), while the didactic design was based on the research/action method, which considered the design, implementation and evaluation of the strategies (Colmenares and Piñero, 2008). We consider that our work will contribute to improve the teaching-learning process, helping the teacher in his task of developing reading abilities, cognitive-affective skills and, above all, the students' reading habit
