Abstract
According to PISA 2009 results
(OCDE, 2010), the Reading literacy
of Spanish teenagers is under the
international average, and reading
motivation and reading habits are
highly related to reading
performance. And ass research
reveals that teachers can be very
important for the development of
reading pleasure (Gambrell, 1996;
Guthrie, 2008) specially if they are
reading models (De Neaghel & Van
Keer, 2013), the objective of this
study is to explore reading habit and
reading motivation in preservice
teachers.
To do so, it has been used a reading
habit questionnaire for university
students (Larrañaga & Yubero, 2005)
and the reading motivation scale
develop for PISA 2009 (OCDE,
2010) with 433 Education
undergraduates of the University of
Castilla-La Mancha.
Results confirm the significant
association between reading habits
and reading motivation. However,
while a high proportion of the
participants declare high or very high
intrinsic reading motivation, very few
are frequent readers. In addition,
differences in reading motivation and
reading habit depending on the course
were not found.
Implications of the discrepancies found
between what future teachers say and do
as readers are discussed.
