Journal Title: RHS-Revista Humanismo y Sociedad - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2

Abstract

Critical didactics allows addressing social issues that emerge from students’ interests and needs. To implement this proposal, digital multimodal texts can be used, as a way to access information and build knowledge. This paper is the result of a research study that aimed to assess a critical didactic proposal built on digital multimodal texts and implemented with third grade elementary students. A qualitative approach was used under an action research methodology. The information was collected from twenty third grade students of a public educational institution in the municipality of Yondó (Antioquia) through three tools, namely, a discussion group, an observation guide and a questionnaire. The results section highlights the relationship between digital multimodal texts and the social environment, the interaction with information and communication technologies, and teamwork concerning the reading behavior of digital multimodal texts among elementary students. The paper concludes that reading is a social practice for students, as long as it addresses topics of interest that allow them to participate, contribute ideas and experiences of their daily life and interact with other individual from different settings, in such a way that the environment where they live becomes a critical factor favoring their reading behavior.
