Läsintresse och läsmotivation hos barn i årskurs 3 : En kvantitativ och kvalitativ studie av barns läsning utifrån flerspråkighet och kön

Sammanfattning: This study aims to investigate reading interest and motivation of pupils in grade 3 in relation to multilingualism and gender. The methods used are quantitative methods through surveys and qualitative methods through follow-up interviews that investigate what attitude to fiction the pupils express and what the pupils themselves think affect their attitude. The results of the study show that pupils multilingualism and gender affiliation have no significance for their reading interest and reading motivation. Multilingual pupils and monolingual pupils showed equal reading interest and motivation and the results of the study showed no differences between girls and boys reading interest and motivation. The result of the study is however not a generalizable result due to the low participation as it only was 41 out of 56 pupils that participated in the survey.
