Methodological strategies for the development of reading comprehension in high School Students of the Miguel Ángel Zambrano Educational Unit, period 2022

Abstract

Middle school students present demotivation and little interest in learning, additionally they present deficiencies in reading comprehension, which leads to having difficulties in correctly learning the subjects corresponding to that level. But it is important to point out that low performance cannot be attributed only to the students but also to the way of teaching and tools used by the teacher. In Latin America, 51% of students present low performance, a percentage that almost doubles in OECD countries, for which it is proposed to solve our research question: What methodological strategies contribute to the development of reading comprehension in the high school students of the Miguel Ángel Zambrano Educational Unit, period 2022?, for this, a descriptive, non-experimental cross-sectional investigation will be carried out, based on a questionnaire applied to a convenience sample of 49 high school students of the Miguel Ángel Zambrano Educational Unit, period 2022. It is found that the indicators that need the most reinforcement by the teacher are those related to identifying paragraphs, ordering actions, and drawing conclusions from the text. For this reason, a body of strategies is proposed to help strengthen all the indicators and not only in a specific area, for which it is proposed to use strategies such as Snake Ladder, Roulette, Text Puzzles, The Literary Sociogram, Build your own story, Creating my little illustrated book, the magic box, Title Collage, among others, adapting them to the reality of the subject and students that the teacher has.
