Reading: an approach to its historical evolution and conceptualisation

Abstract

Society needs to create a reflexive man, which has the capacity to know his own ways to learn which changes has to perform to learn. It is known that educational objectives are conditioned by social changes, a dominant ideology and a phylosofical conception of humanity. The scientific and tecnological development demands from people a great reading capacity to develop themselves successfully in diferents areas. People need levels of capacity to read and to understand difficult contents.
