Digital experience in teaching Ch’ol in Chiapas, Mexico

Abstract

The work deals with the construction of a digital object for teaching the Ch’ol language with students from the Intercultural University of Chiapas, in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas. The research has a qualitative basis because it considers the object of study interpretively and holistically in digital educational processes. The semistructured interview application, the field diary and the participant observation allowed to gather information that evidenced the development of a digital resource in the learning of the original language with relevance and efficiency in higher education. In addition, it was obtained that technology allows autonomous interaction and strengthens communication between students and teachers in the classroom. Finally, it is suggested to build a digital intercultural education policy that articulates with the demands of the knowledge society for the strengthening of the linguistic and cultural identity of university students, in Chiapas.
