La competencia ortográfica como una necesidad para la escritura en los estudiantes de los terceros años de bachillerato de la Unidad Educativa Andrés F. Córdova , de la ciudad de Cañar, cantón Cañar, 2018

Abstract

Abstract:The present investigation describes the orthographic competences existing in baccalaureate students and the methodologies applied in orthographic teaching. The sample was made up of 20 third-year high school students from the "Andrés F. Córdova" Educational Unit in the city of Cañar, and thirteen teachers who teach this year. Orthographic competences were evaluated through open writing, determining the coefficient of orthographic errors. The teachers were interviewed about their appreciation of the spelling. The results found the most common errors in the use of commas and accents, with a high error coefficient. All the teachers expressed an interest in the correct spelling and willingness to teach it. Spelling is considered as an interdisciplinary component that can be proposed as a transversal axis. From the area of Language and Literature, the bibliography indicates that the best way to work on spelling skills lies in active reading and writing, applied in real situations, as it motivates students, as well as promotes the development of individuality, expression and self-knowledge in students.
