Validation of an instrument to evaluate oral communication

Abstract

The didactic of the Oral Communication and its development in the classroom has been little treated in recent years. This study analyzes the didactic elements that intervene in the development of oral communication in students of 10th year of schooling. Didactic strategies are proposed for both, listening and speaking. As a central axis, it presents an evaluation instrument for oral communication that has been scientifically validated through Cronbach's Alpha. The instrument develops the three key elements of the integral formation of students: knowledge, skills and values. It has been shown that the sustained work processes of oral communication allow students to develop in an effective way and they can qualitatively be evaluated and measured.
