Abstract

The mediation of reading as a conscious interference in the formation process of readers is the subject of this research, which aimed to analyze the process of formation of students of the Social Sciences course at the Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), as readers, and the interferences of the mediation of reading in the curricular component Documentation II. The research is configured as descriptive that adopted the case study method. We opted for the technique of applying a questionnaire to students, enrolled in the aforementioned curricular component, in order to obtain information about the taste for reading; the use of information sources; and the mediator's interference in reading formation. In order to carry out the research, it was necessary to reflect, in the light of the literature, that addressed the topic of reading from the perspective of Perrotti (1999) and Dumont (2020); as well as reading mediation based on Bortolin's conceptions (2010); Jesus and Gomes (2019); Cavalcante (2021) and Santos, Sousa and Almeida Júnior (2021). It is concluded that in higher education, reading subjects must also be supported to achieve autonomy in the process of critical reading, which allows for a reflection on themselves and their actions as a protagonist.
