Enhancing Academic Development with Comprehensive Reading Techniques in Education Students

Abstract

The study focused on the relevance of developing efficient reading skills in first-semester students in the Education program. The lack of application of comprehensive reading strategies, partly attributed to a lack of prior training in various reading techniques, was identified. The methodology included surveys and historical-logical analysis to understand student practices and perceptions. The results revealed significant patterns, highlighting deficiencies in knowledge and application of reading techniques. In response, a specific intervention was proposed to strengthen these skills from the beginning of the program. The goal was not only to improve educational quality but also to contribute to the professional development of educators. The research emphasized the importance of addressing reading habit formation from the early university semesters to positively impact academic and professional performance. These findings underscored the need for systematic approaches in curricular training, emphasizing that mastery of reading techniques is an essential pillar for student success and the effective development of future educators.
