Description
Summary:This article presents the analysis of 34 experiences conducted in Universities in Colombia that involved reading and writing. This analysis was based on an exploratory study conducted between 2008 and 2010 as part of the Literacy Network in Higher Education (Red de Lectura y Escritura en Educación Superior-REDLEES). This study emerges as a necessity to reconstruct the history of the initial motivations that prompted several Colombian universities to propose different courses and programs in order to strengthen students' processes of reading and writing. As a result, the tendency to design courses with remedial nature, individual and non-institutional efforts, and the conception of reading and writing as skills are confirmed.
