La lectura en el medio escolar: una experiencia pedagógica

Abstract

The first objective of this study was to analyze pedagogical aspects of reading teaching & learning within the classroom of the sixth grade of Basic Education (Trujillo, Venezuela). The second objetive was to propose an alternative methodology for training young readers. This included an action-research design developed in four stages: (1) classroom evaluation; (2) reading lesson plans; (3) development of transforming action; and, (4) experience assessment. After qualitative analysis of collected data, the study concludes that reading teaching & learning is a constructivist process that contributes in training critical and autonomous readers. It is also an alternative methodology to the traditional way of teaching reading.
