Abstract
En este trabajo se informan los resultados de una investigación cuyo objetivo fue comprobar la eficacia del programa estatal It’s my Turn, implementado por el Ministerio de Educación de Chile, para el autoaprendizaje del inglés en contextos rurales de todo el país. Se midió el aprendizaje de 120 estudiantes de 10 escuelas rurales de la Región Metropolitana (RM) con pruebas de entrada y salida. Asimismo, se realizaron observaciones para examinar la utilización del recurso, y un cuestionario a los docentes para conocer su percepción del programa. Una prueba t arrojó una diferencia significativa entre las pruebas de entrada y salida (p < 0,0001), lo que respalda la efectividad del programa. Las observaciones pusieron en evidencia métodos heterogéneos de aplicación y los cuestionarios mostraron que los profesores tienen diferentes perspectivas acerca de la eficacia de It’s my Turn. La combinación de resultados cuantitativos y cualitativos apunta a la efectividad del programa, pero también a la necesidad de realizar cambios en su implementación
This paper presents the results of a study that tested the effectiveness of a self-learning program implemented by the Chilean Ministry of Education, It’s my Turn, to promote English learning in rural contexts, throughout Chile. Student learning was measured in 10 rural schools (N students =120) in the Metropolitan Region (Santiago Capital). Pre- and post-tests were used to measure learning; observations were carried out to examine the actual use of the learning resource in the classroom; and questionnaires were applied to find out the teachers’ perceptions of the program. A t-test yielded a significant difference between the pre- and post-tests (p < 0,0001). Classroom observations evidenced that teachers used the program in various ways, and the questionnaires showed that teachers have different views on the program’s effectiveness. The combination of quantitative and qualitative results leads to the conclusion that the program does favor learning, but also suggests the need for changes in its implementation.
