Transformando la lectura y la escritura, mediante el Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos

Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of Project-Based Learning (PBL) on the development of reading and writing skills in first-grade students at Colegio Belén in Montería. Based on John Dewey’s pedagogical approach, it argues that learning is more effective when it is rooted in experience and interaction with the environment. The research follows a qualitative approach, employing techniques such as participant observation, documentary analysis, and interviews with teachers and students. The findings reveal that implementing PBL not only enhances literacy skills but also fosters critical thinking, autonomy, and student motivation. Additionally, collaborative work and the application of knowledge in meaningful contexts strengthen reading comprehension and written production. This study contributes to the discussion on innovative educacional methodologies, emphasizing the relevance of PBL in the early years of academic training.
