La lectura en medios digitales y el proceso lector de los docentes en formación

Résumé

21st Century citizens combine reading in print and on screens, which means that two different reading processes are combined.Reading teaching is facing the challenge of enriching a reading literacy method including multimodal digital texts, which entails, at the same time, digital literacy. In this context, it is interesting to take into account the reading habits and processes of the teachers in charge of developing this multiliteracy, which will condition their teaching methods. This research aims to study the preferences in reading format of 236 teachers in training and how this is reflected in their metacognitive reading strategies. A cross-sectional, quantitative and descriptive study has been carried out with a sample belonging to three educational levels (future teachers of Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary Education). The results show a preference for reading in digital format both for academic and recreational purposes. There are statistically significant differences depending on the educational level and age. In addition, a correlation between reading preferences and perception of reading metacognition has been demonstrated.
