Textos argumentativos: principales factores que inciden en la compresión y producción en estudiantes universitarios

Abstract

One of the main objectives of the Ministry of National Education of Colombia is to achieve that throughout the training process of each student who goes through the educational system, critical thinking skills are developed. For this reason, different regulations, projects, decrees, laws, and guidelines have been implemented with which educational institutions training parameters for understanding and producing texts for argumentative purposes. However, despite having these regulations, low results are evidenced in the critical reading area and proof of this are the Saber 11 2019 and PISA 2018 tests, the analysis of which will be exposed throughout this work. The foregoing implies that despite the existence of regulations on teaching and evaluation for the comprehension and production of texts for argumentative purposes, there are gaps in these training processes. Therefore, this work has the purpose of analyzing the main factors that affect the problems of interpretation, understanding and production of argumentative texts in students recently graduated from high school, and who at the time of applying the instruments were studying the first semester of the civil engineering program at the Universidad La Gran Colombia. Therefore, it is proposed to make a conceptualization based on language skills, language teaching and a methodology of socialization of experiences to support each of the findings around the detected problem.
