RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Literacies and the Development of Social, Critical, and Creative Thought in Textbook Activities for Primary Education in Social Sciences and the Spanish Language A1 Ortega Sánchez, Delfín A1 Sanz de La Cal, Esther A1 Ibáñez Quintana, Jaime K1 Reading conception K1 Literacies K1 Social thinking K1 Textbook activities K1 Primary education K1 Educación K1 Education K1 Libros de texto K1 Textbooks K1 Comprensión lectora K1 Reading comprehension AB The skills of thinking, reading conceptions and reading practice (literacy levels) found in textbook activities for the sixth year of Primary Education in Social Sciences and Spanish Language in Spain are analyzed in this paper. A mixed methodology is used to triangulate the data, integrating the critical analysis of discourse and two types of statistical analysis: descriptive (frequencies and percentages) and inferential (χ2, ANOVA, and the Mann-Whitney U Test). The results inform us of both the permanence and the strengthening of the design of an activity oriented toward the development of traditional conceptions of linguistic-cognitive reading. In the framework of education for global citizenship, the conclusion is the need for student reading practices that begin with the principles of critical literacy directed at the acquisition of social, critical, and creative thinking skills.
