Abstract

This research analyzes the strategy of creative rewriting and the production of folk tales in fourth-grade students of General Basic Education at the Bautista Educational Unit in the city of Ambato. The study adopted a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) approach, with a pre-experimental design with a longitudinal cross-section, descriptive scope, and bibliographic and field methodology. The population consisted of 26 students who participated in a pretest and posttest on creative rewriting in the production of folk tales. In addition, a semi-structured interview with a script of 12 questions was administered to the teacher. This work is part of the line of research on social and educational behavior. The results show that in the pretest, 91.3% of students obtained scores in the range of <=6.9, placing them at the level of Skill or learning initiated, 8.7% scored between 7.0-8.9, placing them at the level of Skill or learning in progress, and no students scored between 9-10, which means that the students did not achieve the level of Skill or learning. After the intervention, the percentage at the Skill or Learning Initiated level decreased from 91.3% to 34.8%, the percentage at the Skill or Learning in Progress level increased from 8.7% to 30.4%, and the percentage at the Skill or Learning Achieved level increased from 0% to 34.8%. It is concluded that the creative rewriting strategy contributed significantly to the production of folk tales, awakening students' interest in writing texts based on others and strengthening cognitive and creative skills.
