A month and a half or six weeks, from the beginning of the school year in the Costa-Galapagos regime, will be used to diagnose and level students who return to classrooms with 100% capacity after two years of pandemic, although that time It will be referential.

According to the Ministry of Education, the Training Leveling Strategy will be implemented, which seeks to strengthen the development of student skills. It will have two stages: diagnosis and leveling.
In the diagnosis, the state of the student’s skills will be identified at the beginning of the school year, while in the leveling the development of their skills is equated to continue with the academic curriculum.
This process will be flexible and the particularities and needs of each student or group of students will be taken into account.
This State portfolio recommended, in the diagnosis, that there be no assignment of grades, this because, at the beginning of the school year, it tends to penalize students.
The leveling will be applied to the areas of Mathematics, Language and Literature, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences articulated with reading comprehension and problem solving.
Examples of how the strategy could be applied for both diagnosis and leveling are given in a guide to that State portfolio.
For the subject of Natural Sciences, for example, for the intermediate level, in the case of diagnosis, in order to recognize the differences and similarities between animals that have and do not have a backbone, students could be asked to write in a table and a cell is located animals with backbone and in another cell animals without backbone.
Also, draw the animals that correspond to each cell.
In the case of leveling in Biology aimed at high school, to understand the theories of the origin of life, the guide recommends screening a documentary on the subject and asking students to make a synthesis or micro-essay on each theory.

For Napoleón Vásquez, an educational psychologist, attention, memory and concentration of students should be checked.

“That he is irritable, that he has a bad temper, a bad character, that he hits his brothers, etc., is anxiety,” Vásquez indicated, as an example of what some behaviors would be like.

“Students should not be piled with homework on the pretext of leveling,” he added.
Herlinda Bosquez, of the Network of Teachers of Zone 8, which includes Guayaquil, Durán and Samborondón, maintained that two weeks will be allocated to diagnosis and four weeks to leveling and in this way work has already been done in the 2021-2022 school year with good results. .
