Read carefully the following instructions:

For advance 1, you must follow the instructions of the model that you will find in the PF Regulations, which
will be taken into account to evaluate your future progress.

The advance 1 includes:

1. Beginning of the introduction (whatever can be completed so far). It is not a chapter. It does not
number.
2. Theoretical framework. It is chapter 1.
3. Methodology. Chapter 2. It seems that there is repeated information in the spreadsheet, but notice that it
they request, after the section 'Study', information depending on the type of research that
you develop.
4. Bibliography. You should continue to complete the bibliography you are using up to this point.
5. Annexes: You must include in the annexes at least the models of data collection instruments.

paragraphs; etc. To address the formal aspects of formatting, you should consult the Manual of aspects

The main part of the PF (from introduction to conclusions) has a minimum length of 80 pages. These
They are distributed as follows: 10% introduction and 10% conclusions-recommendations (5 pages each) and 20%
Each of the three chapters (20 pages). There are 10 left to distribute. Therefore, chapters 1 and 3 can be
of 25 pages. This is a reference, everything depends on the structure of the PF, the important thing being the
balance between the sections.

In the explanation of the instruments, this logic should be followed: instrument, technique or method, its objective, to
who applies, Annex in which it is found. Procedure for preparation and application procedures.
You can include some isolated quote and reference, but this is not the objective of this chapter; rather, it is to explain its
methodological design. It is the longest part of the chapter, which must have a minimum of 20 pages.
I suggest you pay attention to the writing and the use of APA standards. Be especially careful with the use of information without
quote. Remember that you must 'dialogue' with the authors, use textual quotes judiciously (always
citing). In the case of indirect citations, also cite the authors. Failure to comply with these
elementary requirements delay progress a lot. To avoid plagiarism, it is suggested to read the
materials that are available in this regard on the Campus, in the section dedicated to the Final Project.
A guide with the APA rules adapted to the University can be consulted at: www.normativa-
academica.info/en/pf/info/development-documents/apa-style-regulations/.
Another important element is the coherence that the work must maintain: the use of concepts without
replace them with synonyms, no contradictions in the statements at different points in the work.
One must also be careful when writing something like: 'this work seeks...'. This type of phrase is
statements of objectives, and if they do not say the same about the declared objectives, contradictions arise.
The use of specialized databases or scientific dissemination is suggested, where you can find
recent materials to argue your discussion: EBSCO (can be accessed through the library of
virtual campus); CLASS (clase.unam.mx); LATINDEX (latindex.org); Scielo. You must prioritize sources from the
last five years.
You have to complete the bibliography from the next submission.

8. METHODOLOGICAL PROPOSAL

8.1 Methodological Approach

Qualitative approach because our project will be based on the evidence with which
we will deeply describe the disorders of dyslexia that affect students with
the purpose of understanding it and explaining it through different methods and techniques.
Qualitative research assumes a subjective, dynamic reality composed of multiplicity.
contexts. The qualitative research approach prioritizes deep and reflective analysis of
the subjective and intersubjective meanings that are part of the studied realities.

In this way, a deep observation will be made of the students who have the
dyslexia problem at the upper basic level, that is, to closely examine the phenomena
in a direct and real way to obtain the desired information.

According to Piura (2006), observation is a method of collecting primary information about

object studied through direct perception and recording of all factors concerning the
object studied, significant from the perspective of the research objectives.

8.2 Type of study

If the research is qualitative, the type of study can be:

Action research design (I-A) because it is aimed at seeking viable and applicable solutions.
for students who suffer from dyslexic disorders.

This design is based on the non-neutral and close positioning of intervention - not neutral or distant - of

will encompass the study

Our population will be the students of the upper basic education level of the institution.

livestock farming, agriculture, palm oil production, and forest resources. Families

8.5 Justification of viability.

The research methodology is framed within three areas: theoretical-diagnostic, design,

application and the assessment of the results obtained in the research.

The questionnaire, the survey, and the knowledge test were also used as instruments.
 which was applied to one teacher and twenty students. With the obtained results, it was possible to
diagnose that twenty-five percent of students have dyslexia and their teacher uses
traditional strategies that do not allow for improvement in their difficulty.

It is concluded that there are different models of methodological strategies such as

comics, use of textual structures and visual discrimination; with the due
the selected and organized theoretical-methodological foundation allowed for knowledge and contribution to

improvement of dyslexia in seventh grade students. Through intervention with

the alternative workshops on methodological strategies to improve dyslexia in
students, it was evident that it significantly helped the students improve their difficulty

8.6 Expected results

The design of a proposal based on the prior characterization of dyslexia problems in the
class to expand our approach to the teaching staff through different workshops.

New elements will be established to be integrated into teaching-learning strategies.

We will finally obtain a new proposal for comprehensive practical strategies for the process.

8.7 Ethical considerations

Ethics in research requires that the practice of science be conducted according to principles
ethics that ensure the advancement of knowledge, understanding, and improvement of the human condition
and the progress of society. The focus of interest is on the consideration of the ethical aspects of the
research, in its nature and purposes (respect for human dignity, for autonomy of
