La educomunicación como secuencia didáctica significativa en la competencia oral y escrita en estudiantes de educación elemental de la Unidad Educativa Doce de Octubre

Abstract

Abstract: The research project Educommunication as a Meaningful Didactic Sequence arose in response to the misuse of technological devices at early ages. To address this, a didactic proposal was designed as a meaningful strategy. The main objective was to strengthen oral and written communication skills through the use of photography in this age group. The participants in this study were 12 second- and third-grade students from the Doce de Octubre Educational Unit, located in the La Pituca neighborhood, Timbara parish, Zamora canton, Ecuador. The study was conducted using a qualitative, explanatory approach with a participatory action research design. Interviews were used as the data collection technique to analyze the students' initial oral and written expression skills. A key finding indicates that student participation improved, with greater confidence in recounting their experiences, overcoming their limitations, and becoming more easily heard by their classmates. This achievement represents progress in their social, emotional, and educational development.
