Nem érti, amit olvas! Kinek a feladata az olvasás tanítása?

Abstract

The aim of this paper is (1) to provide an overview of Hungarian students′ reading performance in an international context, (2) to present the causes and consequences that are associated with poor reading comprehension results, and (3) to outline some possible directions for improving students′ reading performance. In terms of directions for the way forward, this work focuses primarily on the possibilities for development within school settings and argues for the need for criterion-oriented development of reading comprehension embedded in the subjects after lower primary school. To support this, it seems essential to develop a support programme combining research findings on reading strategies and reading motivation.
