La práctica del canyoning y el turismo de aventura, caso de estudio: Cascada Cashaurco, cantón Baños

Abstract

The present research work was carried out in the Educational Unit Gral. Eloy Alfaro located in the province of Cotopaxi in the Salcedo canton, in order to determine the influence of social skills on the learning styles of the students of this institution. In Chapter I, the theoretical framework was developed, highlighting key concepts about social skills and the six existing dimensions. Additionally, the importance of learning styles was established along with each style described by Honey and Alonso. Subsequently, in Chapter II, a mixed approach, an exploratory, descriptive and correlational level of research was proposed through a cross-sectional design. In addition, the evaluation instruments with which the two variables were measured were established. Chapter III presents a detailed analysis of the results of the evaluation of a sample of 90 students between the ages of 12 and 17. By means of this, it became evident that the students evaluated have a good level of social skills and the most prevalent style is the theoretical style. Therefore, in Chapter IV, taking into account the data obtained, the creation of a chatbot on the Telegram platform has been proposed, which has relevant information that can provide advice and general strategies on the two variables.
