Objeto virtual de aprendizaje gamificado (OVA): una alternativa pedagógica para el fortalecimiento de la comprensión lectora en estudiantes del “Programa Volver a la Escuela” del colegio Ciudadela El recreo Sonia Osorio de Saint-Malo.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental process for human beings, as it is present in the various contexts in which they operate. This research project aims to strengthen reading comprehension skills, specifically at the literal and inferential levels, in students belonging to the “Programa Volver a la Escuela” at the Ciudadela el Recreo Sonia Osorio de Saint-Malo School. These students, who are in a situation of over-age and have experienced educational gaps, require pedagogical strategies that are both flexible and adapted to their specific needs.The methodology is framed within a qualitative approach and a participatory action research model. The strategy involves the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) through the design and application of didactic sequences integrated into a gamified Virtual Learning Object (VLO) hosted on the Chamilo platform. The study explores the first two progressive levels of reading: the literal level, which allows the reader to locate specific data and explicit information, and the inferential level, which involves an articulation process between evident information and meanings woven from the text. Although the conceptual framework acknowledges the critical level as a more elaborate cognitive process for creating a personal stance, it is not addressed in the development of this specific investigation.In conclusion, this work embraces a gamified didactic alternative to transform traditional teaching practices into participatory educational environments. The main implication of this project is the improvement of school performance and the motivation of students by aligning educational practices with the digital demands of the 21st century.
