Resumo(s)
O presente estudo teve como principal finalidade conhecer de perto o desempenho
da leitura dos alunos de origem africana que frequentam o 2° ciclo do ensino básico,
comparativamente aos alunos lusos, pertencentes ao mesmo meio sócio-económico e à
mesma escola.
A partir de uma amostra de 80 alunos, foram aplicadas duas provas de leitura e um
questionário. As provas tiveram como finalidade avaliar quatro das competências
específicas de leitura - compreensão literal, compreensão inferencial, localização da
informação e reconhecimento global de palavras -, enquanto o questionário permitiu
recolher os dados considerados pertinentes relativamente à identificação dos alunos e
aos respectivos hábitos de leitura.
De acordo com os resultados do estudo apresentado, foi possível constatar que os
alunos de origem africana apresentam piores desempenhos do que os alunos lusos a
nível da leitura, destacando-se, em particular, a localização da informação e o
reconhecimento global de palavras, as duas competências onde se verificou que a
diferença de desempenhos entre os dois grupos é estatisticamente significativa. O
mesmo foi possível constatar em relação ao valor global das quatro competências em
análise.
A par destes resultados, ficou patente que são as raparigas que apresentam os
melhores desempenhos na generalidade das competências de leitura, evidenciando-se
também, quer nos alunos de origem afiicana, quer nos alunos lusos, uma relação
positiva entre o desempenho da leitura e duas das variáveis analisadas, nomeadamente,
o aproveitamento escolar e a classificação obtida na disciplina de Língua Portuguesa no
final do terceiro período.
Já em relação ao nível etário, apesar de os alunos mais novos apresentarem
melhores resultados, verificam-se algumas excepções relativamente aos alunos de
origem afiicana, no caso da localização da informação e da compreensão literal, embora
os resultados continuem a ser globalmente mais altos nos alunos mais novos.
The current research aimed at a better understanding of the reading performance of african origin students compared with portuguese students belonging to the same social-economical background and studying in the same school in the sixth grade - Primary school. We have applied two reading tests and a questionnaire to a sample of 80 students. The tests aimed at evaluating four of the specific reading competences - literal reading comprehension, inferred reading comprehension, localized information and global word recognition - as to the questionnaire, it allowed us to collect relevant data concerning the students' identity and reading habits. According to the results of this research, we could conclude that african origin students present worse performances than the portuguese ones in reference to reading, with special stress to locating information and global word recognition, two of the competences where it could be verified that performance difference between the two groups is statistically significant. The same conclusion could be drawn from the global value of the four analysed competences. Alongside with these results, it became clear that female students present the best performances in the over-all of the reading competences. It was also evident that with both african and portuguese students, there was a positive relationship between the two analysed variables, namely the scholastic results and grades obtained in the Portuguese Language course by the end of the third term of the school year. In reference to the tested age levels, though younger students show better results, there are, however some exceptions found among african origin students, in reference to locating information and literal comprehension, though the over-all results are higher with younger students.
