Likewise, the following research works are considered as
international antecedents: Ramos (2013) in his research work:
Reading comprehension as a basic tool in the teaching of natural
sciences, proposed the design and implementation of a strategy
based on the posing of questions as a central axis to improve levels
of reading comprehension of scientific texts in the area of natural
sciences of eighth grade students of the Débora Arango Pérez
Educational Institution. Once determined the degree of performance
in reading comprehension in the different levels (literal, inferential
and critical) of the students of grade 8-3 (32 in total) of this
educational institution. Some results obtained when performing the
comparative analysis between the pretest and posttest were: the level
of comprehension of the students at the beginning of the study
ranged between low and medium performance (according to the
range established for the study) and at the end, for the three levels of
comprehension, it ranged between high performance values, given
that the highest percentage of students who were in that range were
48.9%, 48.9% and 56.3% for the literal, inferential and critical levels
respectively; which showed a positive contribution in the reading
comprehension of the students in the study. In addition, an increase
in the number of correct answers was found at the end of the study:
23.1% for literal competence, 22.1% for inferential competence and
18.9% for critical competence. Likewise, the change of some values,
for example, in the literal level decreased from 40.6% to 21.9% of
students in the medium level and increased from 18.8% to 46.9% in
the high level; while for the inferential level, in the low medium it
went from 37.5% to 12.5%, in medium from 25% to 28.1% and high
from 9.4% to 46.8%; and in the critical level it went from 28.1% to
9.4 for low, from 37.5% to 25% in medium low and from 31.3% to
56.3% in the high level. Among his conclusions, he highlighted the
positive contribution of the strategies in the reading comprehension
of the students under study, given that the percentages decreased in
the low levels and increased in the higher levels.
Salas (2012) in his research: El desarrollo de la comprensión lectora
en los estudiantes del tercer semestre del nivel medio superior de la
Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, had two objectives, on the
one hand, to know and describe the achievements and difficulties of
students in relation to reading comprehension and on the other hand,
