„Czytanie nie gryzie, ale…” Postawy gimnazjalistów wobec literatury
The article is drawn from interviews and a questionnaire survey conducted on lower secondary school pupils, their teachers, parents and librarians and from analysis of student essays on reading. It attempts to answer a few pivotal questions: What kind of attitudes are reported by lowe secondary school pupils to compulsory and non-compulsory literature, and what conditions those attitudes? What are the differences between the reading attitudes of boys and girls? What is the role of the internet in developing readership?
