Diseño, construcción y evaluación de un plan de unidad didáctica para el fomento de la literacidad crítica en 10. ° de EGB

Abstract

Critical literacy is a little-known concept in the classroom; the Ecuadorian national curriculum barely mentions critical thinking; however, there are few guidelines on its development and its implementation in teaching practice. A concrete proposal on the development of critical thinking has been proposed from the concept of critical literacy, which we will deepen in this paper. This also focuses on designing and implementing a didactic sequence for the development of critical thinking through written language. For this purpose, a process was carried out based on the method model called "didactic engineering", with which we started from a phase that allowed us to know the students' conceptions about the term criticality, diagnose their levels of criticality and design activities that promote critical literacy. Although the time and modality of work was not in favor, the fact of having left a small guideline in the students to appropriate literate practices in the field of critical literacy, encourages us to continue working on future occasions with this topic that, during the development of this research, has been observed to take a role of vital importance within the learning processes.
