Factores que influyen en el (des) interés por la lectura en los niños de cuarto a séptimo de Educación General Básica

Abstract

The following research has as a general objective to identify the “Factors that influence in the (dis) interest for reading in fourth graders and in seventh graders from Elementary school”. This topic is very interesting since reading is one of the most important tools to acquire new learnings, which will serve us in our daily life. To substantiate this point we used the constructivist model from David Ausubel, which states that the student is an active subject and constructor of its own knowledge. This research allowed us to get closer to our educational reality, as it allowed us to precise the roll of the teacher, family, and mass media in the development of students´ (dis) interest for reading. We have compiled a number of strategies to faster the interest for reading. We believe that these strategies will serve as guidelines to increase reading in schools as well as homes. We hope to have demonstrated that the strategies can be enjoyable and entertaining so that the students do not see reading as something mechanic and boring. It is necessary to precise that all these gatherings have guidelines based on the Planning Guidelines and Curriculum Guidelines from the Education Ministry.
