AN ANALYSIS OF PASSIVE TO ACTIVE PROMOTING CRITICAL ENGAGEMENT WITH TEXT
Keywords:
Active Critical Reading, Reader EngagementAbstract
Reading competence serves as a pivotal element in achieving academic excellence, as it underpins a wide array of intellectual abilities, including critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and the capacity to synthesize and construct new knowledge. Despite the centrality of reading in higher education, many university students remain entrenched in passive reading habits. These students tend to approach texts as repositories of facts to be memorized rather than as complex arguments to be interrogated and reflected upon. They absorb content at face value without questioning the author’s purpose, evaluating the validity of claims, or relating the material to broader academic or real-world contexts.
