Abstract (English): Reading comprehension levels are a cause for concern in Chile. According to the Reading Test administered by the Education Quality Agency (Agencia de Calidad de la Educación), the average score in this sector reaches only 230 out of 600 points, negatively affecting students' academic performance and future opportunities. To address this challenge, the contribution of a method designed to improve reading comprehension and writing in Adult and Youth Education (EPJA) students attending an Adult Education Center in Viña del Mar, Chile, was assessed. This mixed-methods study included a pretest to evaluate initial skills, application of the method, a posttest, and a focus group. Quantitative results showed that 99% of students improved by at least 1.2 points on a 1.0-7.0 scale with a 60% passing threshold. Qualitative findings indicated that participants highlighted the development of meaningful learning, which strengthened their academic performance. These findings underscore the relevance of the method as an effective tool to enhance 21st-century skills in young people and adults who are resuming their education. These results are expected to contribute to the development of pedagogical strategies in similar contexts, promoting comprehensive educational trajectories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): En Chile, los niveles de comprensión lectora son preocupantes. Según la Prueba de Lectura de la Agencia de Calidad de la Educación el promedio en este sector alcanza solo 230 puntos sobre 600, lo que impacta negativamente en el rendimiento académico y las oportunidades futuras de las y los estudiantes. Ante esta problemática, se evaluó la contribución de un método diseñado para mejorar la comprensión lectora y la escritura en un Centro de Educación Integrada de Adultos en la ciudad de Viña del Mar, Chile. La investigación, de enfoque mixto, incluyó un pretest, la aplicación del método, un postest y un grupo de discusión. Los resultados cuantitativos mostraron que el 99% de las y los estudiantes mejoró al menos 1,2 puntos en una escala de 1,0 a 7,0 con un 60% de exigencia. En el plano cualitativo, las y los participantes destacaron el desarrollo de aprendizajes significativos que fortalecieron su desempeño académico. Estos hallazgos subrayan la relevancia del método como una herramienta efectiva para potenciar habilidades del siglo XXI en jóvenes y adultos que retoman su formación educativa. Se espera que estos resultados contribuyan al desarrollo de estrategias pedagógicas en contextos similares, promoviendo trayectorias educativas integrales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
