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

Abstract

Abstract: The present research explores the pedagogical impact of a didactic proposal centered on the analysis and creation of Ecuadorian legends using artificial intelligence as a supporting tool. This subject arises from the need to strengthen young people's interest in reading and develop their creative and linguistic skills through writing. Far from being a conventional project, the proposal integrates legends as the central axis of learning, incorporating AI tools and audiovisual resources in order to promote the development of literacy skills and promote the appreciation of Ecuadorian cultural heritage. The methodology is based on Project-Based Learning (PBL), and its impact is measured through pre- and post-application surveys. The research is validated through the results obtained with students, as well as through interviews with professionals in the field. The final results show favorable perceptions toward reading motivation, written production, creativity, and cultural identity, which, enhanced by students' affinity with the technological resources used, position this as an innovative, culturally relevant, and replicable didactic proposal in similar educational contexts.
