    Análisis crítico de los recursos educativos digitales aplicados por profesores de inglés en instituciones públicas
    (Identidad Bolivariana, 2023-10-13) Berrones Astudillo, Estefani; Armijos Jumbo, Sonia; López López, Jacqueline
    El presente artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio de investigación que promueve la innovación y buenas prácticas en el uso de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones en la gestión y utilización de recursos educativos digitales por parte de docentes de inglés en instituciones públicas del Ecuador. Inicialmente se realizó un análisis técnico para evaluar los recursos educativos digitales -Módulos Pedagógicos en Inglés- mediante el instrumento LORI-AD, que evalúa las etapas de diseño, implementación y calidad de estos recursos educativos digitales disponibles en el repositorio institucional del Ministerio de Educación. Simultáneamente, a través de una encuesta voluntaria administrada a 102 profesores de inglés a nivel nacional, se recolectó información mediante una escala Likert, que permitió comprender las perspectivas subjetivas de los docentes sobre el uso de los módulos pedagógicos en inglés durante y después de la pandemia. Finalmente, los resultados cuantitativos y cualitativos obtenidos demuestran los escenarios en los que los recursos educativos han sido utilizados por los docentes y su calidad, integración con las TIC, usabilidad y relevancia para el aprendizaje.

    Content based method instruction applied to hospitality technical english, speaking b1 level
    (Malagón, B. Universidad Bolivariana del Ecuador, 2025-04-01) Álava Zambrano, María Rosario
    This research explores the application of the Content-Based Instruction (CBI) method in teaching Hospitality Technical English at a B1 speaking level. A mixedmethod approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative analysis, was employed to assess the effectiveness of this methodology. To diagnose the initial proficiency and perceptions of students regarding the subject, a diagnostic test and student surveys were conducted. Additionally, interviews with the Career Director and hotel supervisors provided valuable insights into the industry’s language demands. A documentary observation sheet was used to analyze the syllabus and determine its alignment with real-world needs. To measure the impact of the CBI method, a pre-test and post-test were administered, allowing for a comparative analysis of students’ progress in speaking skills. The findings revealed that integrating technical English with hospitality-related content enhanced student engagement, improved their communication skills, and increased their confidence in using the language in professional settings. The study concludes that the Content-Based Instruction method is an effective approach for developing Hospitality Technical English proficiency, as it bridges the gap between academic learning and industry requirements.

    How cultural awareness influences senior year students to achieve curricular standards through Ecuadorian literature
    (Revista Latinoamericana de CIencias Sociales y Humanidades, 2023-10-10) Lara Ramirez, Andrea Aurora; López López, Jacqueline Elizabeth
    English proficiency is a global necessity, and Ecuador is no exception, where it has been integrated into the education curriculum to enhance language skills. However, student performance in English has remained below the desired level, falling short of the B1 proficiency standard set by the Ecuadorian Curriculum. This research focuses on assessing the influence of cultural awareness on EFL high school students through the integration of Ecuadorian literature, with the goal of aiding them in achieving the B1 proficiency level by the culmination of their senior year. For this end a survey was administered to thirty (30) high school senior students at an all-girls high school in the city of Cuenca to ascertain their stance on the incorporation of cultural material related to Ecuadorian literature in English classes following the implementation of a demonstration class. Employing a mixed-method approach, quantitative data were gathered through surveys, while qualitative insights were gleaned via open-ended questions. The findings convey a notable interest among students in embracing local literary works within their English classes, with a substantial proportion expressing a distinct preference for this pedagogical approach. These results underscore the potential of culturally relevant pedagogical strategies in language instruction.

    Huertos escolares: estrategia interdisciplinaria para fomentar el trabajo en equipo y el cuidado ambiental en séptimo año de Educación Básica
    (MQRinvestigar, 2025-03-31) Cando Loor, Vicky Zelandia; Andy Rivadeneyra, Flor Maria; Vergel Parejo, Elizabeth Esther; Espín Landázuri, Marco Antonio
    La combinación del trabajo colaborativo y el cuidado ambiental en proyectos escolares promueve una formación más integral y pertinente para los desafíos actuales. Iniciativas como los huertos escolares fortalecen el aprendizaje interdisciplinario y forman valores como la solidaridad, la empatía y la responsabilidad colectiva. La investigación utilizó un enfoque mixto, con un nivel explicativo, y diseño preexperimental con el objetivo de proponer una estrategia interdisciplinaria basada en huertos escolares que fomente el trabajo en equipo y el cuidado ambiental en estudiantes de séptimo año de Educación Básica, de la institución educativa EE, provincia EE, Ecuador, en el periodo lectivo 2024-2025. El diagnóstico causal evidenció carencias en las habilidades de trabajo en equipo y actitudes hacia el cuidado ambiental, atribuidas a recursos limitados, falta de experiencias significativas y enfoques educativos tradicionales. Estas debilidades resaltan la importancia de implementar cambios pedagógicos que promuevan una mayor reflexión crítica y propuestas prácticas ante los problemas ambientales. La implementación de la estrategia interdisciplinaria basada en huertos escolares mostró un impacto positivo en el trabajo en equipo y el cuidado ambiental. Los indicadores evaluados presentaron mejoras en la media, reducción en la dispersión de los datos y un aumento general en el desempeño. Estas transformaciones resaltan el potencial de las estrategias interdisciplinarias para fortalecer competencias socioambientales en contextos educativos.

    The influence of the CommonLit platform on the development of reading skills as an academic reinforcement for A2 students
    (Revista Arandu UTIC, 2024-09-13) Buñay Illapa, Elsy; Bajaña Rosales, Mónica Elizabeth; Campoverde López, Johnny Segundo; Bonilla Tenesaca, Josué
    Ecuador, a country of privileges due to its geographical location, has varied socio-ideological and cultural influences that significantly impact the learning and acquisition of a foreign language. Few students are aware of the importance of English. However, many do not feel a real interest in or the need to use the language in their daily activities in a society where they only try to cover a momentary requirement. The complexity of mastering a new language like English is even worse because learners have to face environmental, and emotional difficulties, as reflected in the quantitative study carried out, which suggests energizing their learning acquisition using the qualitative method that promotes their voluntary interest in reading comprehension, as stated by a survey and class observation carried out in the First “A” of Accountancy at the Isabel de Godin Educative Unit in Riobamba. Therefore, the implementation of the CommonLit platform will determine academic progress and reading proficiency as the main tool to improve their reading skills by addressing challenges according to different levels of English proficiency. In this sense, with the platform's interactive activities, adaptive learning tools, and variety of interesting information, participants' reading abilities significantly improve, according to the findings. Therefore, the CommonLit platform is a useful tool for students who intend to achieve A2 in their reading development since it enhances the academic level and cultivates an enduring enjoyment for reading.
