Methods and Techniques for the Formation of Reading Literacy among Students in the Process of Studying Historical Disciplines

Abstract

The relevance of this research is connected with the need to improve the quality of Russian education, the growth of its competitiveness in the conditions of the XXI century, which is impossible without the development of functional literacy, of which reader literacy is an integral part. When analyzing the methodological methods of teaching students of pedagogical universities, attention is focused on the training of future teachers who are able to further develop reading literacy among secondary school students. The development of reading literacy is a complex and lengthy process implemented during the study of various disciplines, including historical ones. The formation of reading literacy involves the use of various types of text: continuous, discontinuous, mixed, composite, as well as various tasks aimed at developing such skills as finding and extracting information from the text, the ability to integrate and interpret the text, the ability to comprehend and evaluate the text and use the knowledge obtained from the texts for practical purposes. The development of reader literacy is carried out using such techniques and methods as the analysis of historical sources, the use of infographics, working with cases, and more. The study was practically tested in the course of the author's work with control and experimental groups of students. In the context of modern teaching methods, reader's literacy acquires a universal or supra-objective character. At the same time, this issue is a new, little-studied and promising technology not only within the framework of secondary, but also higher education.
