Reading and education: aiming at evaluations that take (indeed) digital environments in consideration

Abstract

We discuss in this paper, different reading matrix of abilities used at large scale reading assessments, and how they incorporate aspects related to digital literacy. We analyze reading skills measured in Brazilian evaluations such as Saeb and Enem, as well as reading skills evaluated in international assessments such as Pisa, which incorporates online reading. In addition, we analyze the reading skills listed by ISTE, which understand the act of reading as part of process that involves research and problem solving. We also analyze the matrix of digital literacy developed by Dias and Novais and that has been taken as reference for many researches. We conclude this text showing that a set of literacy skills must be constructed, evaluated and reformulated by educators in order to meet the specific demands of each school and each school community.
