Pages 55-71 | Published online: 23 Jan 2014
 

Resumen

El presente estudio investiga los procesos y estrategias de lectura que emergen cuando los estudiantes leen varios textos que abordan una misma temática y resuelven dos tipos distintos de preguntas. Se creó una situación experimental en la que estudiantes universitarios leyeron tres textos complementarios y contestaron una pregunta global o cuatro cuestiones breves, todo ello mediante presentación electrónica gracias al programa Read&Answer. Para analizar en detalle las estrategias promovidas por el tipo de tarea y el nivel de competencia del estudiante, nos servimos fundamentalmente de la metodología de pensar en voz alta. El análisis de los protocolos verbales que los estudiantes emitieron mientras resolvían su tarea desveló que el tipo de tarea influye en el uso de distintas estrategias lectoras y de contestación, así como el nivel de competencia de los participantes.

Abstract

The study analyses reading processes and strategies that emerge when students are asked to read several texts on the same topic and answer two kinds of questions. In the experimental situation, university students read three complementary texts and answered either a general question or four short questions. An electronic presentation was employed using Read&Answer software. To analyse in detail the strategies promoted by the type of task and student's level of competence, we used thinking-aloud methodology. Analysis of students' thinking-aloud protocols recorded while solving the task revealed that their strategies were clearly influenced both by the type of question and level of success in the task.
