Abstract
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of using Wayuu myths and legends supported by multimedia applications to strengthen literacy skills in 5th-grade students. The research was descriptive, evaluative, and comparative with a quasi-experimental, cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 37 students, forming an intentional sample of students who completed the 5th grade. A single group of students organized by the educational institution was worked with, to whom a pretest and posttest were applied. The data collection technique was direct observation, using a 18-item knowledge test, with dichotomous, simple selection. Reliability was calculated using the K-20 coefficient of Kuder-Richardson, obtaining 0.82, which is considered highly reliable. The results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon (Z) statistic. In conclusion, it was found in the diagnosis that students show significant differences in the levels of literacy learning when applying the pretest and posttest, and that the use of Wayuu myths and legends supported by multimedia applications improved the levels of literacy learning. It is recommended that teachers use these strategies to improve literacy skills in their students.
