Este texto resulta de um estudo que pretendia avaliar
comparativamente a compreensão na leitura de alunos de
ascendência africana e de alunos lusos, em final de escolaridade
obrigatória, em Portugal. Para recolha e análise dos dados, aplicouse
um teste de língua a um universo de 170 alunos, metade de
ascendência africana e metade de ascendência lusa a frequentar
escolas da periferia de Lisboa. Os resultados parecem sugerir que
ambas as populações têm dificuldades ao nível desta competência.
Dos resultados pode inferir-se que as condições socioeconómicas
parecem ser mais importantes do que a condição linguística, no que
diz respeito ao desenvolvimento da compreensão leitora.
Abstract: This paper examines the reading comprehension skills of 170 9thgrade Portuguese students. Half of these students are of African descent and the other half come from Portuguese families. All are from low-income families and attending the final year of compulsory education at Portuguese schools on the outskirts of Lisbon. Applying a part of the PISA 2000 test, results showed that the groups were not significantly different and that all subjects featured low levels of reading comprehension. From the results, it can be inferred that socioeconomic background is the most important issue regarding reading comprehension.
