Contenido principal del artículo
La educación actual requiere estrategias innovadoras que integren saberes disciplinares para desarrollar competencias complejas. Este artículo analiza los efectos de las inserciones curriculares en competencias educativas de estudiantes de educación básica (grados 5 y 6). Se utilizó un diseño cuasiexperimental con 240 estudiantes (grupo experimental n=120, grupo control n=120) durante un ciclo lectivo completo. Se evaluaron pensamiento crítico, resolución de problemas, comprensión lectora y habilidades socioemocionales mediante rúbrica validada. Los resultados indicaron mejoras significativas en el grupo experimental en todas las competencias (p < 0.001), con tamaños de efecto grandes (d > 1.2). La implementación de inserciones curriculares demostró ser una estrategia efectiva para el desarrollo integral de competencias en educación básica, aunque su éxito depende de formación docente, recursos institucionales y contexto socioeconómico.
Current education requires innovative strategies that integrate disciplinary knowledge to develop complex competencies. This article analyzes the effects of curricular insertions on educational competencies of basic education students (grades 5 and 6). A quasi-experimental design was used with 240 students (experimental group n=120, control group n=120) during a complete school cycle. Critical thinking, problem-solving, reading comprehension, and socioemotional skills were evaluated using a validated rubric. Results indicated significant improvements in the experimental group across all competencies (p < 0.001), with large effect sizes (d > 1.2). The implementation of curricular insertions proved to be an effective strategy for comprehensive competency development in basic education, although its success depends on teacher training, institutional resources, and socioeconomic context.
