Guía de actividades para la enseñanza de la lengua de señas ecuatoriana en los estudiantes de tercero de Básica de la Unidad Educativa Sudamericano

Abstract

Ecuadorian Sign Language (LSEC) is conceived as a natural language through which deaf people establish communication with their environment. Children with a certain type of hearing disability come to establish affective relationships with deaf people and with hearing people who can communicate through sign language. From this arises the development of this project, designing a guide of activities aimed at teaching the LSEC to children in the third grade of the South American educational unit, in order to expand the knowledge of the deaf culture and the Ecuadorian Sign Language (LSEC) in students. For this, a bibliographic review of the subject was carried out, with the contributions of several authors with whom the bases of this work are supported. The methodology that is used includes a socio-critical paradigm and a qualitative approach, in addition several instruments for collecting and analyzing information were used and in the same way, the analysis of guides from various countries was carried out, which served as a reference for the design and structure of the activity guide. Finally, a pilot plan of the proposal was applied to determine its feasibility in teaching the LSEC to students between 7 and 8 years old (average age of third-year students).
