The reception of the traditional tale in the Primary classes and in the Training Centers of Teachers. Active readings to return to the tale

Abstract

This article has as its main objective to analyze the reception of the traditional story tale in the readers and readers of the 21st Century to detect the elements that produce in them the greatest challenge in order to propose a way to return them to the story based on dialogic reading, rewriting and the textual recycling. For that, after a bibliographical review on the reception of the account at the end of the 20th Century and the first quarter of the 21st Century, activities have been designed to carry out, on the one hand, in classes at the Faculty of Education and, on the other hand, in primary third level classes. Thus, by means of a qualitative methodology and research-action, it has been possible to gather information on the reception of the traditional tale in university and medium-level students. The conclusion to which we have come is that what the greatest challenge generates in relation to the traditional account are cultural markers left by the collectors, but that current readers and female readers, by means of an active and creative reading, are perfectly capable of detecting and modify these markers respecting the structure and conventions of the traditional tale.
