Influencia de la Lectura en la Comunicación de los Niños y Niñas del Grado Transición del Centro Educativo El Maravilloso Mundo de los Niños de Puerto Carreño Vichada.

Abstract

This qualitative study with an interpretive approach seeks to understand how children in the transition grade of the educational center 'El Maravilloso Mundo de los Niños' in Puerto Carreño (Vichada) perceive the influence of reading in their communication, considering their experiences and cultural realities. Through an action research design, children's narratives are explored to identify meanings attributed to reading practices and their impact on verbal and non-verbal skills and social interactions. Specific objectives include: to examine personal histories of reading, to analyze emotions linked to this activity, and to compare cultural similarities and differences in their perceptions. The methodology employs semi-structured interviews, focus groups and participant observation with a purposive sample including teachers, children and parents, ethically guaranteeing informed consent and confidentiality. The phenomenological analysis of qualitative data allows interpreting how participants construct meanings in their sociocultural context, in line with the hermeneutic paradigm that prioritizes the subjective understanding of experiences. The expected results will provide inputs to design contextualized pedagogical strategies, recognizing reading as a social practice influenced by cultural factors. The study, of an exploratory nature, is framed within the line of research on pedagogy and children's communication, highlighting the need to address cultural diversity in educational settings. Limitations include the specificity of the context, which restricts the generalization of the findings, and the active role of the researcher in the interpretation of data.
