La relación de la fonología y habilidades de escritura en niños de 7 a 10 años en situación de calle en la ciudad Quito – Ecuador durante el periodo marzo - junio 2025

Abstract

The present research was developed in the city of Quito, addressing the problems of educational exclusion affecting children from 7 to 10 years old in street situation, who face significant barriers to access and stay in the school system. The research seeks to analyze the relationship between phonology skills and writing skills in children aged 7 to 10 years in street situation. The research used quantitative and descriptive methods to analyze a group of 28 boys and girls selected by convenience sampling according to their availability and relevance to the study. The Standardized Scale of Evaluation of the Writing Process (PROESC) and the Standardized Phonemic Awareness Scale (PECO) were used as instruments. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis, this meant using frequencies and percentages. The results showed that most of the children who were tested had low or very low levels of phonological awareness, which meant that they had great problems breaking down and manipulating language sounds. In addition, most of the children were usually unwilling to put their ideas together in a clear way, spell them correctly and organize them. The absence of variability in the results of the writing tests made it impossible to establish a statistical correlation between the two variables. However, the findings serve as testimony to the

existence of an academic profile significantly influenced by social vulnerability and lack of educational stimulation.
