Diseño de libro álbum para motivar la lectura de obras clásicas ecuatorianas dirigido a estudiantes de bachillerato. Caso práctico: La Emancipada.

Abstract

The aim of the present research was to solve the lack of interest in Reading in teenagers through the creation of a specialized method in the design of album books. These are editorial objects of great visual appeal. A thorough compilation of information was performed to understand the nature and detail of the albums. Thus, it could get close to primitive stages of this product in order to make possible its construction. This was possible to carry out when collecting the design method from different authors of album books and compare them to obtain common structural patterns and album books but in a global way, taking into account that each author has different nationalities, this allows having a nearly universal album book design. At the same time, divergences were taken as strategies that can support in the development of album books. Hence, it was possible to guide the methods and strategies of designing album books to adolescents, through the research based on physical and psychological aspects of adolescents and surveys to the students of Unidad Educativa “La Providencia”. With this previous research makes sure the effectiveness of the proposed method to design albums that promote reading, considering variables that may influence the response of teenagers. The method was tested with “La Emancipada” Ecuadorian novel, which was studied earlier in order to achieve a suitable transition to book album through the proposed method. It is concluded that the albums are objects with potential which must be expanded, either to exalt literary classics that are already part of our idiosyncrasy or to exploit them with new ideas. The use of this material as an educational support for the motivation of reading is recommended.
