Leitura profunda em meios digitais : uma revisão sistemática de literatura

Abstract

This dissertation aims to investigate the effects of digital media, in comparison to print media, on the development of skills associated with deep reading, understood as a type of reading that involves sustained attention, immersion, self-monitoring and inferential comprehension. The motivation for this research arose from pedagogical concerns experienced in Basic Education and was intensified by the reading of studies by Mangen (2008) and Wolf (2019), which discuss the impacts of digitalization on reading practices. To this end, a systematic review of the international scientific literature published between 2013 and 2023 was conducted, in order to identify, categorize and synthesize results from discussions on how the reading medium can influence readers' cognitive engagement. The search included articles from academic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and ERIC, considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results reveal that, although there are benefits in the use of digital devices, especially in terms of access and individualization, print media still stands out when it comes to supporting concentration, immersion and the comprehension of longer or more complex texts. The discussion also highlights the importance of considering the reading audience, the strategies involved and the type of text used in studies on the effects of the reading medium. By gathering the available evidence, this study seeks to contribute to academic debate and to the development of more critical and informed educational practices in the current context of technological transition.
