Utilización de técnicas de andamiaje (scaffolding) en la enseñanza de habilidades receptivas en la lengua inglesa en dos liceos rurales de la provincia de Ñuble

Abstract

This experimental study aims to analy- ze the use of scaffolding techniques on the teaching of receptive skills in stu- dents who are in the subject of English. The survey technique was used and the instrument was a type of Likert test. The test used was the TOEIC Bridge ((Test of English for International Communica- tion). The sample group was made up of 160 sophomore high school students belonging to two public rural schools in the province of Ñuble. The sample was non-probabilistic and the results indicate that the students improved their results on the standardized ministry of education test (MOE) in both receptive skills, and the hearing ability showed the greatest increase, after an improvement plan was carried out with the teachers and applied by them in the classroom. It can be concluded that on the basis of scaffolding techniques developed on common classroom acti- vities helped to improve student skills. These results suggest that the use of scaffolding techniques improve perfor- mance on standardized tests MOE.
