Propuesta didáctica basada en Leyendas ecuatorianas contadas con IA para potenciar la lectoescritura en estudiantes de bachillerato

Abstract

Abstract: This research study, titled "A Didactic Proposal Based on Ecuadorian Legends Narrated via AI to Enhance Literacy Skills among High School Students at the 'San Vicente Ferrer' Fiscomisional Educational Unit in Chuquiribamba Parish, Loja City and Province," aims to implement a teaching approach that preserves and integrates tradition with innovation, thereby strengthening students' reading and writing skills. The study sample consisted of fifty students and two Language and Literature teachers who collaborated in the research process. A non-experimental, cross-sectional design with a mixed-methods approach combining descriptive and analytical methods was employed. Furthermore, data collection techniques such as surveys, interviews, and observations were used, supported by structured instruments to gather reliable information on literacy practices. The results demonstrate that the use of legends enhanced by artificial intelligence improves reading motivation, strengthens writing skills, and reinforces cultural identity; the study concludes that legends, when used as an innovative pedagogical resource, constitute a relevant strategy for enhancing literacy among high school students.
