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

Abstract

Abstract: This study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate a didactic proposal based on Ecuadorian legends supported by artificial intelligence to strengthen literacy skills in high school students. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, with a descriptive scope and a non-experimental, cross-sectional design. The population consisted of students and teachers from the Roberto Rodas Educational Unit. A non-probability convenience sample of 100 students from the Unified General Baccalaureate program and five key informants (teachers and administrators) was selected. Data was collected through a structured survey and semi-structured interviews. The results revealed a favorable perception among students regarding the use of Ecuadorian legends as a pedagogical resource to strengthen reading comprehension, creative writing, and the appreciation of cultural identity. Participants also expressed a positive view of the use of artificial intelligence as a tool to support text comprehension, idea generation, and written production. The validation of the proposal showed high levels of acceptance and adequate reliability (α = 0.891). It is concluded that the integration of Ecuadorian cultural heritage with artificial intelligence tools constitutes an innovative didactic strategy that enhances the teaching and learning processes of Language and Literature.
