Na tela e no papel: um estudo de compreensão leitora com alunos do 9° ano em Tanguá - RJ

Abstract

The present research is about a study of reading comprehension in the light of psycholinguistics through the scientific method of problem solving, having as theoretical support some authors who work with reading and text comprehension in the area of Psycholinguistics, such as Leffa (1996), Morais (1996), Smith (2003), Kenedy (2013), Scliar-Cabral (2018) and Maia (2018;2019). To broaden our reading vision, we used other authors who also study the topic, but under other approaches, especially from a pedagogical point of view, such as Kato (1990), Kleiman (2007) and Sánchez Miguel, Garcia and Rosales (2012) In addition, it was also necessary to consult authors from Cognitive Psychology, such as Wolf (2008) and Carr (2011), who address topics such as the neuroplasticity of the human brain and the possible consequences of excessive use of screens for cognition. The main objective was to investigate the reading comprehension, when performed in print and digital media, from students enrolled in the 9th grade class XXX of a public school located in the city of Tanguá-RJ. During Portuguese Language classes, the class carried out two reading comprehension activities, composed of ten short texts each, one of them in print and the other one in digital media, using Google Forms. The study, analyzed using the T Student test, suggests that the class under study presented significantly better results when reading in print.
