Strengthening Communicative Competencies Through a Digital School Radio in High School Students

Abstract

Communication is indispensable in human life; however, students exhibit a deficit in the interpretation and creation of texts. Therefore, it was proposed to strengthen communication competencies through a school radio for ninth-grade students in the Municipality of San Juanito – Meta, Colombia. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, specifically descriptive with action research methodology, utilizing a diagnostic test, observation grid, and a survey to investigate communication competencies applied to a sample of 24 students. The results led to the conclusion that the use of a school radio improved students' communication competencies, demonstrating a significant improvement in text comprehension, written production, and students' performance during oratory in radio programs. This underscores the significance of innovative pedagogical tools in enhancing communication competencies and contributing to educational success.
