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

Abstract

Abstract: The research "Ecuadorian Legends Told with AI" aimed to apply a didactic proposal based on Ecuadorian legends narrated with artificial intelligence to strengthen literacy skills in high school students. It was conducted at the "Sagrado Corazón de Jesús" Fiscomisional Educational Unit, located in the city of Tulcán. The sample consisted of 64 second-year high school students and 4 teachers from the Language and Literature area. A mixed approach was employed: surveys with quantitative treatment administered to students and interviews with qualitative analysis applied to teachers. Both instruments allowed the collection of complementary information that was subsequently triangulated to contrast perceptions and findings throughout the research process. Triangulation revealed that integrating artificial intelligence into the teaching of traditional legends sparks greater interest in reading and stimulates written production. Students reported feeling more motivated when interacting with their own cultural content through technological resources. It is concluded that this fusion between oral tradition and digital innovation represents a pertinent strategy to strengthen communicative competencies in current educational contexts.
