El modelo de Kolb como estrategia efectiva para desarrollar la comunicación de estudiantes de educación Básica

Abstract

Abstract: The effectiveness of the Kolb model as a strategy to improve the communication skill of students from the middle basic sublevel of a pedagogical reinforcement program in Guayas was evaluated. A sample of 48 seventh grade students was taken, who were applied a previous rubric to identify their initial level of communication skill. Subsequently, the Kolb model was implemented for 4 weeks, through playful and structured activities. Finally, a subsequent rubric was applied to compare their communication skill with respect to their initial level. The results showed that the application of the Kolb model resulted in a significant improvement in the communication skill of the students, as it allows them to live, reflect, understand and practice the language in different contexts and situations. They showed progress in their ability to express themselves clearly and concisely, to organize their ideas logically and to answer questions effectively. These results suggest that the model can be applied in children and not only in adults or young people.
