    Metodología lúdica interactiva para el aprendizaje de lengua de señas: Diseño de material didáctico para la Fundación “Escúchame” de Cuenca
    (Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2026) Cruz Defaz Nicole Guadalupe
    This research and design study addresses the communication barriers that exist between members of the "Escúchame" Foundation and individuals with hearing impairments who use Ecuadorian Sign Language as their primary means of communication. Through an evaluation using surveys, semi-structured interviews, and direct observation, a limited understanding of this language and a lack of accessible and engaging visual resources to facilitate its learning were identified. The En-Señas project was created to meet this need, based on Design Thinking and Universal Design for Learning. It is an educational proposal focused on teaching the basics of Ecuadorian Sign Language. The final product consists of an illustrated visual guide containing essential vocabulary, hand gestures, movement and trajectory symbols, and QR codes linked to audiovisual content. The proposal is complemented by a card game for understanding gestures and memory games focused on the alphabet and numbers. The research showed that the use of visual resources and recreational activities is perceived positively, as they contribute to motivation, understanding, practice, and the strengthening of more inclusive communication within the foundation.
