USING COMICS AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPING IMAGE COMPREHENSION AND LITERACY IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Summary/Abstract: The study documents from the perspective of literature review on the concepts of literacy, multimodal text, comics, and image interpretation. The education in our country has implemented a series of reforms emphasizing the training of students, the interest shifting from teaching to learning, with the student at the center of attention as the main actor of the educational act. Major changes were made in education policy, reorganizing both the education system and the national curriculum. A new term we find in the new curricula is multimodal text content, and this rethought content helps to develop literacy. Literacy is a new term in the literature and especially in our country, it does not only refer to the ability to read and write, it is much more than that; literacy also includes the skills associated with understanding, interpreting and using written information effectively in different contexts. For primary school students, mutimodal text is beneficial because it fulfills several functions simultaneously: informing, persuading, entertaining or educating. Cu ajutorul benzilor desenate se dezvoltă: abilitățile de interpretare a unei imagini, îmbunătățirea gândirii critice, învățarea permanentă, comunicarea eficientă și nu în ultimul rând, adaptabilitatea. Comics are a tool that plays a significant role in the development of imagination, free expression and understanding of images, all of which contribute to the development of literacy by forming critical and competent readers and communicators. Through the interaction between literacy and multimodal text, a deeper and more nuanced understanding of information is promoted, which is essential for active and informed participation in contemporary society
