- Abstract
Understanding students’ relationship to writing and reading is essential to the development of their language abilities, the keystone of their intellectual growth and academic success, as well as their social and personal well‐being. The Scriptura research project on reading and writing, which was conducted in secondary history and science classes in Quebec, studied students’ relationship to writing and reading. Results from 1150 questionnaire responses, and in‐depth interviews with seven tenth‐grade students, allow a partial description of one of the many facets of this relationship, the affective dimension. Our study shows a significant difference between boys’ and girls’ relationships to writing and reading, at least in the affective aspects. Furthermore, all students show a marked lack of interest in writing and reading in history and science classes.
