Compreensão textual: análise do desempenho de pais e filhos

Abstract

The present research had the objective of analyze the children’s and parents’ textual comprehension. The sample was composed by couples (children and responsible) with children enrolled in the 5th year of Fundamental Education from a public school. To collect the development in comprehension was used the text “The Thing” with the retelling history activity and multiple choice questionnaire. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Among the analyzed children just little could done the inferences and list the information contained in the text with those stored in the memory, this fact also repeats with the responsible. It was also realized that despite the sample was divided in with or without difficulties, there were no difference in the performance; therefore children and parents could get the information contained in the text. It is contrasted that there was a relation between the parents education and the development in comprehension, however correlation between the children and parents comprehension was not verified, despite of being near of significance level. It was set up the hypothesis that the text used was easy in understanding, not being capable in differentiate the groups with or without difficulties; and also that the sample reduced in couples had disadvantaged in the correlation in the children’s and parents’ comprehension. Another interesting fact was that it did not happen relation between the reading/ stimulating habits from the parents and the children comprehension, we can understand that probably the development in reading comprehension from the children were principally because of the stimulus they receive at school.
