Las herramientas digitales y la comprensión lectora

Abstract

This research analyzes the impact of digital tools on the reading comprehension of fifth-grade students at the "González Suárez" Educational Unit. A mixed-method approach was applied, combining quantitative techniques, such as the CLP (Progressive Linguistic Complexity) test and Chi-square analysis, with qualitative strategies based on the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model). The results revealed that digital tools fostered a significant improvement in students’ comprehension skills, particularly in the literal and inferential levels of reading. Interactive platforms such as Educaplay, Cokitos, Liveworksheets, and Cerebriti promoted student engagement and facilitated differentiated learning. Additionally, the study identified positive student attitudes toward digital technologies, suggesting their high potential for sustainable integration into the curriculum. The findings support the implementation of pedagogically aligned digital strategies to strengthen reading comprehension and encourage autonomous, reflective learning. The study also provides recommendations for future research, emphasizing teacher training and the creation of dynamic, inclusive digital learning environments.
