Difusión de leyendas relacionadas con la laguna de Colta en niños y niñas de 8 años. Mediante material didáctico.

Abstract

This research compiles legends of the origin of Colta lagoon in the Chimborazo province. There are 28 legends, of which 24 were found in the living memory of the population and 4 are in physical documents. They were chosen 7 to design pop up 3D stories and multimedia as teaching material relevant to the target audience, who are children of 8 years of Educational Unit "Riobamba". Techniques such as interviews and bibliographic records that helped collect information about legends both the living memory of the people, and physical documents are used. They were chosen 7 legends to make arrangements in writing and subsequently they use in the teaching materials. The design theme for both the story and the media are based on scenes and characters with characteristics, traits of Colta population. For validation 38 children in the fourth basic year "B" was performed. They used a check list (file questions) based on 15 questions of the story and 13 of multimedia, with a rating of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. They obtained the following results: the media with 97% acceptance. Thanks to the graphic elements that compose it and the story "Pop up" with the 93% acceptance. In conclusion we can say that technology has influenced the disappearance of legends and folktales. To avoid this we recommend teachers use dynamic teaching materials for better learning, motivating children to discover on their own skills and abilities that make them feel more comfortable when learning in an unconventional way.
