Use Of Information And Communication Technologies In Reading Comprehension: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The present documentary review arises from the need to analyze from secondary sources the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in reading comprehension, so the question arose: Does the use of information and communication technologies improve understanding? reading comprehension in students?, which allowed us to formulate the research objective: Describe the use of information and communication technologies that improve reading comprehension in students.

The method adopted in the research was a review of the scientific literature, based on a documentary design, involving the stages that include exploring the sources, carrying out the filtering process to select the most significant and relevant studies, then interpreting the results and subsequently analyzing them. The type of research was a systematic, retrospective, observational review. The databases considered were Scopus, Scielo, EBSCOHOST and Sciencedirect. As inclusion and exclusion criteria, studies from the last 5 years were taken into account, which considered the research variables taking them in a general or specific way and no books, theses or conference documents were taken. The presentation of the results was used following the PRISMA method adapted from 2020.

In conclusion, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) offer significant improvements in reading comprehension by providing dynamic and adaptive learning environments. The integration of these technologies not only makes reading more attractive, but also facilitates the understanding of complex concepts, at different levels.
