Influencia del uso de videos educativos en la comprensión lectora en estudiantes de octavo año de Educación General Básica

Abstract

Abstract: This research project, entitled "Influence of the Use of Educational Videos on the Reading Comprehension of Eighth-Grade Students in Basic General Education," implemented educational videos to improve reading comprehension. The methodology employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, using non-probability sampling and employing inductive, analytical, and synthetic methods. The pedagogical test served as the data collection technique, allowing for the collection of accurate results through a rigorous analysis of the phenomenon under study. Two groups were used: a control group and an experimental group. A pretest was administered to both groups to conduct an initial assessment of their reading comprehension level. A posttest was given to the control group after a traditional lesson, and a posttest was given to the experimental group after the lesson using educational videos. These instruments provided evidence of the results regarding the implemented strategy. The results demonstrate a significant difference in reading comprehension improvement between the control and experimental groups, showing greater motivation and participation with the implementation of these videos.
