Fortalecimiento de la competencia lectora mediante la narrativa de una página web para estudiantes de grado tercero

Abstract

The Information and Communication Technologies in educational institutions represent an alternative of didactic change, which allow working according to new forms of teaching. In this sense, the present study aimed to contribute to the strengthening of reading competence through the narrative in a web page for third grade students of the Pueblo Totoró Agricultural Educational Institution, New Orleans Headquarters, of the municipality of Totoró, department of Cauca. Methodologically, it is an Action Research study for which a proposal preceded by a diagnosis has been developed. For the same, a test of reading comprehension was applied whose results reflected scarce reading skills. The results of the diagnosis reflected low comprehension rates, which allowed to initiate a plan of action containing seven didactic activities where medicinal plants were used to create a digital Web page. The activities were highly significant, since a final test was applied with the same tests of the diagnosis, after the development of the sequences, whose results reflected that some children improved their comprehension levels. One of the conclusions allows us to reflect on the didactic work with medicinal plants through the use of technology, which constitutes a very useful instructional medium that allowed a greater participation of children in reading activities. The knowledge that we now have about the cultural value of medicinal plants, the accompaniment of the elderly to perpetuate and strengthen this knowledge and the digital construction of the website allow to strengthen reading in students.
