Abstract

 
 
 This project was conducted at the Benemérita Sociedad Filantrópica Educational Unit in the seventh grade of basic education, school year 2015 - 2016. The objective of the research was to examine the influence of critical reading on the quality of meaningful learning through a bibliographic study and statistical field analysis. The research used surveys that were applied to teachers, administrators and students of the school, the data analysis detailed the lack of interest shown by students towards reading, making the comprehension of reading complex. From the students' perspective, the readings done in class become theoretical and tedious, which leads them to be easily distracted in the teaching-learning process. This has created barriers at the moment of encouraging active interaction among class members. On the other hand, it was found that some teachers did not apply dynamic activities that relate educational content with different experiences, minimizing the development of meaningful learning in students. This series of aspects led to the elaboration of a proposal that allows teachers to apply innovative activities that can be adapted to the different educational content present in the area of Language and Literature.
 
 
Highlights
Nowadays it is essential that students can count on a quality education that allows them to understand each of the contents developed in class in a comprehensive and meaningful way, minimizing the impact of the different aspects that affect the normal development of the student, when there are deficiencies in critical reading, the student is directed to minimize the essential analysis processes in the school stage, which directly influences their academic performance
This study focuses on a field research that allowed to attend the place where the problem arises, for the same the participation of the different strata belonging to the educational community was considered, analyzing in detail the perspective provided by each of them, checking the degree of knowledge about the influence of critical reading in the meaningful learning of students
Critical reading is influential to a high degree which is demonstrated by the Chi-Square test which statistically demonstrates its influence on the quality of students' deficient development of meaningful learning
Summary
Nowadays it is essential that students can count on a quality education that allows them to understand each of the contents developed in class in a comprehensive and meaningful way, minimizing the impact of the different aspects that affect the normal development of the student, when there are deficiencies in critical reading, the student is directed to minimize the essential analysis processes in the school stage, which directly influences their academic performance. One of the aspects observed is framed in the traditional pedagogy applied by several teachers, which does not allow the development of an environment that favors the active participation of each of the students to integrate their knowledge in the resolution of situations and problems that are generated in daily life, taking away the necessary relevance of critical reading. The lack of strategies that promote a more critical reading in students is one of the problems that most affect the low school performance of students in the area of language and literature, because it fails to grasp the message of reading and does not give the necessary importance at the time of using it in the resolution of situations that arise in the school environment.
