dc.description.abstractThe current study took place in a private Higher Education Institution (HEI) in Sincelejo-Sucre; which focus group was six last semester-learners who were around twenty and thirty years old, chosen based on pre-test results, using the two highest, the two medium, and the two lowest scores to describe how the GBA enhanced these learners’ reading comprehension skills by using expository (cause-effect) texts. To this effect, only the deconstruction stage of the aforementioned cycle was developed to expose learners to the structure, language features, common words, expressions, and organization of this type of text, which was led by the teacher in an entire modeling stage. The data was gathered using three different quantitative and qualitative techniques: two pre-tests and two post-tests were implemented, and some surveys in forms of questionnaires were done to the focus group in order to triangulate the results objectively. The results revealed the positive incidence of the GBA in the subjects’ reading comprehension levels (literal, inferential, and critical thinking), enhancing their skills individually and contributing with some other findings. To conclude, it is essential to acknowledge learners’ weaknesses and strengths, since GBA was applied taking into account their needs, interests and context.eng
dc.description.abstractEl presente estudio se llevó a cabo en una Institución de Educación Superior (IES) privada en Sincelejo-Sucre; el grupo focal estuvo compuesto por seis estudiantes de último semestre, con edades comprendidas entre los veinte y los treinta años, elegidos en función de los resultados de una prueba previa, utilizando las dos puntuaciones más altas, las dos medias y las dos más bajas para describir cómo el ABP mejoró las habilidades de comprensión lectora de estos estudiantes mediante el uso de textos expositivos (causa-efecto). A tal efecto, sólo se desarrolló la etapa de deconstrucción del ciclo antes mencionado para exponer a los estudiantes a la estructura, las características del lenguaje, las palabras comunes, las expresiones y la organización de este tipo de texto, lo cual fue dirigido por el profesor en una etapa de modelado completo. Los datos se recopilaron utilizando tres técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas diferentes: se implementaron dos pruebas previas y dos pruebas posteriores, y se realizaron algunas encuestas en forma de cuestionarios al grupo focal con el fin de triangular los resultados objetivamente. Los resultados revelaron la incidencia positiva del ABP en los niveles de comprensión lectora de los sujetos (pensamiento literal, inferencial y crítico), mejorando sus habilidades individualmente y contribuyendo con algunos otros hallazgos. Para concluir, es esencial reconocer las debilidades y fortalezas de los estudiantes, ya que el ABP se aplicó teniendo en cuenta sus necesidades, intereses y contexto.spa
