Abstract

The objective of this research project was framed in designing a methodology to improve the digital literacy method and decrease the dropout rate of participants, reflected in previous courses of digital literacy, between 2011-2013. We worked with participants of the SiTEC project, belonging to the Technological Classroom of the Unidad Educativa Duchicela Shyri XII, from the community Llin-Llin. The research is of quasi-experimental type since the groups used are heterogeneous; the inhabitants of the community made up of 16 participants were determined as an experimental group and like control group made up by 22 teachers. The hypothesis was tested using the T-student statistical method. In this sense, the variable attendance of the study group was compared and it was determined that the application of the methodology, did influence the presence of the participants, obtaining a higher number of graduates in relation to the participants who completed the course in 2011 that reached the three graduates and in 2015 were 14 inhabitants of the community. The conclusions determine that the methodology applied in the digital literacy course allowed to increase the attendance rate, participation, motivation, learning and number of graduates, through the learning environment, collaborative activities and autonomous learning, the interaction and integration between the participants and the teacher, generating a comfortable, reliable and safe environment. The integration of all these elements that make up the methodology reflected an improvement in the final average achieved by the participants and the dropout rate was significantly reduced.
