D-PAL

Adaptive program for teaching digital reading skills in secondary education
Acronym

D-PAL

Description

The rise of the Internet over the past two decades has changed the conception of what constitutes a typical reading situation and what it means to be a competent reader. The digitalization of the classroom has turned the Internet into one of the main sources of information for adolescents, who use it for both academic and personal purposes. Faced with this reality, the recent PISA 2022 results showed that the majority of students have serious difficulties in navigating, integrating and evaluating information on the Internet autonomously. As we have shown in a current project, the increase in the use of digital reading contexts observed in classrooms in the last decade has enhanced - not reduced - the superficial processing of digital texts. Therefore, there is a clear need for studies that examine robust digital Reading intervention programs to overcome comprehension problems arising from the current use of digital devices in the classroom. Thus, the main objective of this project is to promote the understanding of digital reading among secondary education students through long-term adaptive interventions that have the direct participation of teachers from different disciplines both in the first design phases and in their implementation. To achieve this objective, several tasks are proposed from a multidisciplinary approach, which combine the direct participation of teachers, meta-analytic work to review existing literature, reanalysis of results from large databases, small-scale experimentation, and intervention in educational centers throughout two academic years. The emphasis on the adaptive nature of the intervention program seeks to guarantee that all students can benefit from it. The team has extensive experience in the field of digital reading, which is complemented by the active participation of an SME specialized in educational technology and reading comprehension (INTRALINEAS S.L.), as well as renowned international researchers. Likewise, the project incorporates different measures for valorization and transfer of results to guarantee the continuity of the intervention program generated, thus seeking to maximize its social impact over time.
