New publication: Reading, understanding and learning. Proposals to promote learning from texts
Núria Castells, member of the Institute of Research in Education, participates in this recently published work.
What are the characteristics of reading comprehension processes linked to learning curricular content? What do we know about the most frequent texts and tasks when it comes to reading to learn? What happens specifically when reading to learn has more than one text as a reference? What are the characteristics of reading in digital texts? What can be done to favor it and to avoid some of its inconveniences? The reader can find answers to these and other questions in the pages of this book.
Based on theoretical assumptions about reading, learning and teaching, the authors, with extensive experience in teaching and research, outline a set of suggestions and useful contents for classroom intervention, structured in six chapters that include numerous examples, most of them taken from teaching / learning situations. Teachers, as the main recipients of the book, but also psycho-pedagogical advisors and teacher trainers, will identify numerous elements to analyze their own practice and incorporate certain proposals subject to facilitate students the acquisition of knowledge from text reading.
