Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify the level of reading comprehension of philosophical texts in students of the tenth grade of the John F. Kennedy Educational Institution of the municipality of Ortega Tolima. The work proposes actions and strategies based on the theoretical sources consulted, as well as on the results found in the selected population, in order to promote the development of reading comprehension in the students. As theoretical bases, the conceptions and strategies focused on the reading comprehension of Cassany (2003) were considered; Serafini (1994), De Zubiría, (2001), among others. The qualitative research method was used. Some of the instruments used for data collection were: unstructured observation and diagnostic questionnaire. The work had the following stages: problematization, diagnosis, and presentation of a proposal in order to improve reading comprehension in the area of ​​Philosophy. After analyzing the instruments through which the information was collected, it can be found that the students present difficulties in terms of the three levels of reading that are evaluated by the SABER test, and these are: literal, inferential and critical. In addition, the exercises carried out during the classes, in which the philosophical texts were the center of the development of the same, let see that the young people have problems to argue their answers. With the results obtained as a result of observation and testing, it is necessary to think of a pedagogical proposal that links the area of ​​Humanities, Castilian, to work together in a didactic project through which students begin their work with learning strategies focused mainly on reading.
