    El prop贸sito fundamental de este estudio consisti贸 en fortalecer la competencia ortogr谩fica de estudiantes de quinto grado pertenecientes al colegio Salvador de Entregas, a trav茅s de la implementaci贸n de estrategias l煤dicas. Esta investigaci贸n, caracterizada por su naturaleza de acci贸n, se desarroll贸 empleando un dise帽o de acci贸n participativo. La muestra estuvo conformada por un docente y treinta alumnos de quinto grado de educaci贸n b谩sica primaria durante el a帽o lectivo 2018. Para llevar a cabo la recopilaci贸n de informaci贸n pertinente, se opt贸 por utilizar la encuesta y el test como t茅cnicas, utilizando como instrumentos espec铆ficos el cuestionario y la prueba diagn贸stica respectivamente. Los resultados obtenidos revelaron notables deficiencias en el dominio de aspectos fundamentales de la ortograf铆a por parte de los estudiantes, particularmente en 谩reas vinculadas con la acentuaci贸n, los diptongos y los hiatos. Asimismo, se identific贸 el uso recurrente por parte del docente de m茅todos de ense帽anza tradicionales, lo cual incidi贸 en estos hallazgos. En virtud de estos resultados, se justific贸 plenamente la necesidad de dise帽ar una estrategia pedag贸gica que se apoyara en actividades l煤dicas. Como resultado de la implementaci贸n de la propuesta educativa denominada "Aprender ortograf铆a jugando", se constat贸 un impacto positivo significativo en las competencias relacionadas con la escritura, la redacci贸n, la pronunciaci贸n de vocablos y la interpretaci贸n de textos entre los estudiantes evaluados.The fundamental purpose of this study was to strengthen the spelling competence of fifth grade students belonging to the Salvador de Entregas school, through the implementation of playful strategies. This research, characterized by its action nature, was developed using a participatory action design. The sample was made up of one teacher and thirty fifth grade students of primary basic education during the 2018 school year. To carry out the collection of relevant information, it was decided to use the survey and the test as techniques, using the questionnaire and the diagnostic test respectively. The results obtained revealed notable deficiencies in the students' mastery of fundamental aspects of spelling, particularly in areas related to accentuation, diphthongs and hiatuses. Likewise, the teacher's recurrent use of traditional teaching methods was identified, which influenced these findings. Based on these results, the need to design a pedagogical strategy that was supported by recreational activities was fully justified. As a result of the implementation of the educational proposal called "Learn spelling while playing", a significant positive impact was found on the skills related to writing, composition, pronunciation of words and interpretation of texts among the evaluated students

    Este estudio explora la pertinencia de las actividades institucionales en el desarrollo de las habilidades de pensamiento cr铆tico en estudiantes de educaci贸n media, tanto en entornos urbanos como rurales del departamento del Atl谩ntico, dentro del 谩mbito del sector p煤blico. Se adopta un enfoque metodol贸gico mixto, respaldado por un paradigma interpretativo, en un dise帽o de car谩cter descriptivo. Para llevar a cabo la recopilaci贸n de datos, se implementa una variedad de instrumentos, incluyendo el an谩lisis de documentos institucionales, observaciones en las aulas, registros en diarios de campo, la administraci贸n del test de Watson-Glasser y la aplicaci贸n de cuestionarios socio-demogr谩ficos. El estudio abarca un total de 216 estudiantes y 11 docentes de distintas disciplinas en dos instituciones educativas. Los resultados arrojados por el an谩lisis revelan carencias notables en las competencias de pensamiento cr铆tico, incluyendo 谩reas como la inferencia, deducci贸n, formulaci贸n de supuestos, interpretaci贸n y capacidad argumentativa. Asimismo, se identifica una disonancia entre la visi贸n institucional, la pr谩ctica pedag贸gica y el grado de adquisici贸n y desarrollo de habilidades cr铆ticas por parte de los estudiantes. Este hallazgo subraya la imperativa necesidad de que las instituciones educativas, tanto en entornos urbanos como rurales, generen reflexiones profundas y emprendan acciones concretas destinadas a fomentar el pensamiento cr铆tico.His study explores the relevance of institutional activities in the development of critical thinking skills in high school students, both in urban and rural environments of the department of Atl谩ntico, within the scope of the public sector. A mixed methodological approach is adopted, supported by an interpretive paradigm, in a descriptive design. To carry out data collection, a variety of instruments are implemented, including the analysis of institutional documents, observations in classrooms, records in field diaries, the administration of the Watson-Glasser test and the application of socio-demographic questionnaires. The study covers a total of 216 students and 11 teachers from different disciplines in two educational institutions. The results obtained from the analysis reveal notable deficiencies in critical thinking skills, including areas such as inference, deduction, formulation of assumptions, interpretation and argumentative ability. Likewise, a dissonance is identified between the institutional vision, pedagogical practice and the degree of acquisition and development of critical skills by students. This finding highlights the imperative need for educational institutions, both in urban and rural settings, to generate deep reflections and undertake concrete actions aimed at fostering critical thinking
