Pregrado en pensamiento crítico y lectura de textos académicos
Resumen
Este artículo buscó investigar si siete estudiantes de pregrado malayos pudieron responder de manera crítica a los textos académicos que se les entregaron y a las estrategias de lectura que emplearon para leer esos textos. Los datos se recopilaron a través del protocolo de pensamiento en voz alta y la entrevista retrospectiva, y posteriormente se transcribieron, tradujeron y analizaron para los temas recurrentes. Los hallazgos indican que los siete participantes respondieron críticamente a los textos dados, como lo demuestra la adopción de todas o algunas de las estrategias de lectura crítica de interpretación, análisis, evaluación, deducción, explicación y autorregulación; siendo la interpretación la estrategia más utilizada. Los resultados del estudio también revelaron que aunque los estudiantes universitarios podían utilizar las estrategias de lectura crítica, solo podían hacerlo hasta cierto punto. Se concluye instando a los instructores y formuladores de políticas a considerar seriamente la enseñanza de la lectura crítica, ya que les da un propósito y una orientación a los estudiantes universitarios para que piensen críticamente y se preparen para un mejor desempeño académico y los desafíos futuros.
