Diseño y validación de un material didáctico (libro) para aulas multigrado en contextos de población multi-edad: un enfoque inclusivo y flexible

Abstract

This thesis aims to design and validate a didactic material (book) for multigrade classrooms in night school contexts with multi-age populations, from an inclusive and flexible approach. The research, qualitative and applied in nature, was conducted through a participatory action research methodology, involving students and teachers throughout the process. The material was implemented and evaluated in sixth and seventh grade night classes, showing improvements in the learning of basic operations, fractions, and decimals, as well as in students’ autonomy and participation. The results and teacher feedback confirmed the relevance of the resource, while highlighting the need for adjustments in sequencing and conceptual accuracy. This work contributes to the strengthening of inclusive and context-based pedagogical practices, addressing the challenges and particularities of night education in Colombia.
