El plan lector como estrategia didáctica para el fortalecimiento de las competencias lectoras de los estudiantes de primaria en la institución educativa San Luis Beltrán del municipio de Sardinata (Norte de Santander)

Abstract

The Colombian State, through the Ministry of National Education, permanently seeks to measure the progress and achievements in learning of 186 Primary Basic Education students with the purpose of determining cognitive deficiencies and improving the reading skills of schoolchildren. In line with this intention, a research project was developed whose general objective seeks to design a teaching strategy that contributes to improving the reading skills of 59 primary school students from the San Luis Beltrán Educational Institution, in the Municipality of Sardinata, Norte de Santander, taking into account the particularities of the context and the difficulties evident. In the methodological aspect, it was supported by the qualitative approach, the descriptive design and the documentary review technique based on the consultation of official documents of the Ministry of National Education. This proposal, after its investigative journey, was able to show the following: the weaknesses found in the Educational Institution studied correspond to a national and regional reality, in which 54.33% of 3rd grade students reached a level of learning low, while on average 74.66% of 5th grade students reached low and very low levels on average in the years 2016, 2017 and 2018 of the knowledge tests regarding reading competence. The San Luis Beltrán Educational Institution is in the last category (D) according to the Colombian Institute for the Evaluation of Education, Icfes (2021), in terms of academic performance, compared to other official institutions within the municipality of Sardinata. To face this alarming reality, this investigative work makes a proposal based on a Reading Plan, which has its own objectives, cooperative learning methodology, pedagogical model of the Escuela Nueva Activa, ENA, literary component, teaching and learning activities, and evaluative activities.
