FACTORES DINAMIZADORES DE LA COMPETENCIA LECTORA EN ESTUDIANTES DE SECUNDA-RIA

The objective of the study was to diagnose the current state of reading competence in high school students and to identify factors that stimulate this competence. A study of mixed approach and sequential design was developed, being applied research with emphasis on diagnosis, cross-sectional and of explanatory scope, surveying 60 students in the quantitative phase, from which 10 were selected for the qualitative phase. The techniques applied were the reading proficiency question-naire and the interview. The results showed better competence at the literal (82%) and evaluative (66.66 and 83.34%) levels, being lower in the inferential (65%). The factors that stimulate reading competence were found to be the introduction to the development of reading (anticipation), recovery of previous knowledge, general integration of the text, hypothesis testing, relationship between text and previous knowledge, formulation of questions, evaluation of the answer and application in daily life. We conclude by revealing the importance of school-family mediation as a dynamizing nucleus in the management of students’ reading competence; noting the need to continue deepening the processes of family involvement and influence, as well as in the configuration of new roles and shared meanings between family and school.
