Sembrar palabras en el corazón: la actividad de mediación lectora de la fundación Montaña Inversa

Abstract

In conventional educational settings, reading is predominantly linked to the acquisition of historical literary data or to the formal and intricate analysis of specific literary works. This narrow association, however, hinders the realization of a fundamental objective of contemporary literary education: the cultivation of competencies, reading habits, and, by extension, the enjoyment derived from reading. In order to contribute to the achievement of this objective, this research poses the following question: It is imperative to ascertain which activities and resources are conducive to fostering the development of habits and competencies in students, thereby enhancing their enjoyment of reading. In order to respond to this inquiry, it is proposed that the reading mediation practices carried out by the Montaña Inversa Foundation be studied. These practices are aimed at third, fifth, and eighth grade students of the Francisca Dávila de Muñoz Educational Unit. The data were collected through surveys, audio recordings, and photographic registries. The findings demonstrate the efficacy of reading mediation practices in facilitating encounters between readers and literary works, thereby enabling students to engage with written culture and construct pleasurable experiences through it.
