Abstract

Reading is linked to numerous positive outcomes, including academic achievement, reduced stress, and enhanced life expectancy. However, a significant portion of Chilean adolescents engage in limited reading. Notably, male students tend to exhibit lower levels of reading motivation compared to their female counterparts, with declining reading self-concept over time. To address this challenge, this study explores the impact of a 9-month-long pilot reading program aimed at increasing students' reading motivation and volume in an all-boys rural school in southern Chile (N = 120), guided by Self-Determination Theory and adapted from Atwell's reading workshop. The program included four pillars: access to high-interest print books, 90 min per week of in-class independent choice, and peer interactions around reading. t-Tests showed a significant increase in students' reading volume but not in their reading motivation. Nevertheless, multiple regression analyses revealed that, when controlling for students' pre-program reading motivation, achievement, and volume, post-program reading motivation and time allocated for independent reading were significantly associated with the number of pages read during the program. Implications for practice and future research avenues are discussed.

高兴趣书籍、选择和独立阅读:在智利男性青少年中试行阅读计划
阅读与许多积极的结果有关,包括学习成绩、减轻压力和延长寿命。然而,相当一部分智利青少年的阅读量有限。值得注意的是,与女生相比,男生往往表现出较低的阅读积极性,随着时间的推移,他们的阅读自我概念也在下降。为了应对这一挑战,本研究以自我决定理论为指导,并根据阿特维尔的阅读工作坊进行改编,探讨了一项为期 9 个月的试点阅读计划的影响,该计划旨在提高智利南部一所农村男校学生的阅读动力和阅读量(N = 120)。该计划包括四大支柱:获取高兴趣的印刷书籍、每周 90 分钟的课内自主选择以及围绕阅读的同伴互动。t 检验表明,学生的阅读量有显著提高,但阅读动机却没有提高。然而,多元回归分析表明,在控制了学生计划前的阅读动机、成绩和阅读量的情况下,计划后的阅读动机和分配给自主阅读的时间与计划期间的阅读页数有明显的关联。本文讨论了对实践的启示和未来的研究方向。
