Leitura de e-book em formato linear e em formato de mapa conceitual: compreensão, processamento e estratégias

Abstract

The objective of the study is to examine the reading of e-books on the theory and practice of Portuguese language teaching, in both linear and conceptual map formats, during the final years of high school. The idea is to assess understanding, thinking, and use of strategies. The analysis is based on psycholinguistic studies on reading in relation to education, as well as on conceptual maps, computational skills, instruments and e-books. The sample was made up of 20 professors. Data was gathered electronically through the Reading Comprehension Test and a software that captures subjects’ processing and strategies during reading in each one of the formats. Results show similar scores in the two formats, as well as use of the same strategies for detailed reading and bottom-up processing, thus demonstrating the potential of the e-books studied in terms of fulfilling their objective.
