Evaluación del aprendizaje cooperativo y su influencia en la expresión oral en educación general básica: estudio realizado en un contexto de educación multigrado

Abstract

Abstract: The ability to express oneself verbally is a fundamental communicative skill for the integral development of students, since it favors social interaction in an effective, coherent and clear manner in different situations. The objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness of Cooperative Learning (CL) as an active methodology in the development of oral expression skills in students of General Basic Education (EGB) of a multigrade institution. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design of correlational scope was adopted. The deductive, analytical and descriptive method was used with descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. A sample of 16 students participated in the Pretest-Posttest, comparing traditional teaching with CA. The positive quantitative results determined the effectiveness of CA in the development of oral expression as opposed to the traditional method, which showed that CA is a suitable active methodology for the development of oral expression in multigrade contexts.
