Research project Testing approaches to reading
The project "Testing approaches to reading. Construction of reading comprehension in disciplinary reading practices" wants to develop a model that can be used to analyze reading practices in school. The study follows teaching in grades 5 and 8.
The main purpose of the project is to provide tools to illuminate how different approaches to working with texts in various school subjects create different conditions for students' disciplinary reading literacy and literacy development. A first aim is to develop a model for analysing reading practices with regard to how teaching is organised as well as how content is construed and encountered by the student. A secondary aim is to investigate how the model can be used to analyse specific practices.
