La experiencia Kelluwen: Tres años de desarrollo y puesta en práctica de una propuesta de innovación didáctica con uso de TIC

Abstract

Kelluwen validated a holistic didactical strategy incorporating the use of ICT in classroom curricula aiming to improve socio-communicative skills in students from 12 to 16 years old. The didactical strategy is based on the socio-constructivist approach and it is deployed in three axes: the validation of 17 Collaborative Didactical Designs, the development of the Kelluwen Web Platform, and the development of an integral evaluation strategy. The experience in 167 classrooms in schools of southern Chile showed promising results. In the quantitative scope, the analysis of the Cloze test from a sample of 3 classrooms showed a significant improvement of the literacy skills in 63% of the students compared to 45% in the control classroom. In the qualitative scope, the students assessed the learning activities as positive, and the results showed an association with the increase in their levels of ownership, leadership and motivation in the learning process.
