El fortalecimiento de competencias comunicativas a través de la creación de podcasts con niños de grado tercero en la Institución Educativa Rafael Bernal Jiménez

Abstract

This educational action-research project is situated within the field of Early Childhood Education, under the line of specialization in Language, Creation, and Communication, and is part of the actions of the Alunantes research group. The project began in 2023 with grade 203 and continued in 2024 with course 301. It responds to the challenges identified among third-grade students in engaging in dialogue and reflection on topics of interest. These challenges, along with a lack of attention to their concerns and the absence of adequate physical and temporal spaces, have left many of their thoughts and ideas in suspension, particularly regarding social and cultural issues that impact their daily lives. From these observed needs, the research question emerged: How can a pedagogical strategy based on the creation of a podcast be implemented to improve the communicative and expressive skills of students in Early Childhood Education? The podcast proposal is presented as an accessible and effective channel that provides children with a space for expression within the dynamics of the school environment. This pedagogical strategy is designed to create meaningful learning experiences, allowing students to develop and strengthen their communication skills through verbal expression exercises and interaction with recording devices, fostering their ability to communicate through the creative exploration that is intrinsic to childhood.
