Cooperative learning on the development of reading comprehension skills
Resumen
The purpose of this research is to determine the influence of cooperative learning on the development of reading comprehension skills in English students aged 15-16 years old from a public school in the urban area of the city of Chone, Ecuador. Due to the size of the population, the first year of secondary school parallel 'G' was selected as the study sample for convenience. In this context, a documentary review of other research was conducted to identify the need for the implementation of cooperative learning activities that enhance reading comprehension in English. The research process was developed using an exploratory approach with a qualitative methodology, which enabled the analysis of the contributions of cooperative learning activities to the reading comprehension of texts in English through the application of classroom observation techniques and interviews with English teachers at the institution mentioned. The data analysis revealed that cooperative learning has a significant impact on the development of reading comprehension skills in the target age group. This is because it fosters active participation, critical thinking and improves linguistic competence. Furthermore, the cooperative learning environment positively influences students' attitudes towards learning English, leading to increased motivation and confidence in their language skills. These results demonstrate the importance of applying cooperative learning methodologies to facilitate English language acquisition and comprehension in adolescent students.
