El mito como instrumento potenciador para reforzar la lectoescritura en materias integradas

Abstract

The myth as an instrument to reinforce literacy in integrated subjects is the title of this research work, and as mentioned, the main objective is to reinforce literacy skills and strengthen the learning of linguistic codes essential for the understanding and development of the different contents covered in the areas of knowledge. For this research we proposed a qualitative socio-critical methodological approach, of an exploratory type, with an action-research design. We worked with fourth and seventh grade children of the Intercultural Bilingual Community Educational Unit "ABC" of the Tenta-Saraguro Community. Authorities, parents and the community in general also participated in the collection of information. The myth of "Mama Supalata" allowed us during the action research phases to generate activities and contextualized content based on the Kichwa Saraguro oral tradition. It is concluded that the myth not only contributed to the reinforcement of reading and writing, but also to the identification and valorization of instruments and knowledge of the community that contribute optimally to the teaching-learning process of the students.
