Reading and its place among student youth in the modern information society

Abstract

Students are living proof that they are a universal generation that values the gifts of the past and develops the future. The study shows that the reading crisis still exists, but the practiice of reading paper books remains, despite the rapid development of the information society. In the context of our research, the most common difficulties encountered by most students in understanding, interpreting and analyzing textual information, particularly scientific texts, were identified. These difficulties are mainly related to concentration of attention, interpretation of scientific texts, selection of the main points, structuring of what has been read, ability to critically perceive information. This actualizes the need to find ways that can help students improve the processing of text information.
