Ambientes mixtos de aprendizaje como estrategia didáctica activa en áreas integradas con estudiantes de 5to año “Suscal” de educación básica de la U.E.C.I.B.

Abstract

This research was carried out in the Bilingual Intercultural Community Educational Unit "Suscal'' (UECIB "Suscal''), with a pedagogical accompaniment of the fifth-year teacher of Basic Education, Lic. A.O., during 5 weeks of virtual pre-professional practices, through the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. This research was based on participating observation, collaborative accompaniment and virtual dialogues with the teacher A.O. It allowed us to identify inconsistencies on the development of inter-learning guides, absence of Internet connectivity for the students, an inadequate teacher's communication strategy with her students and directive methods used on a distance learning process. It was also observed that the WhatsApp application used by the teacher to send inter-learning guides was not effective in the process of receiving-sending students’ tasks and activities. For all this reason, mixed learning environments and resources were designed, applied and evaluated as an active didactic strategy on the teaching-learning process of integrated areas (Natural Sciences, Language and Literature, Mathematical Social Sciences and Kichwa Language), stablished in the Kichwa MOSEIB (2017) curriculum, in order to share new strategies and resources for teaching-learning processes through a more dynamic interaction between students and teacher. Likewise, a workshop was prepared and given to the teacher (Lic. A.O.), to develop inter-learning guides with integrated areas using mixed learning environments and resources off-line. The results obtained were: a) The mixed learning environments generated interest, curiosity and greater participation in the students’ task resolution of activities proposed to them in the Integrated InterLearning Guide designed. b) The teacher Lic. A.O. learned about using new active didactics strategies and mixed learning environments and resources in a distance teaching-learning process.
