Estudio sobre alfabetización académica en la Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata

Academic literacy refers to the knowledge required for learning in college. Taken into account a previous diagnostic study in the Veterinary General Pathology course, in the present work we performed an evaluation of the academic literacy in the remaining courses of second year of the Veterinary Medicine Career, School of Veterinary Sciences, UNLP. Our objectives were to know the relevance given in the courses to reading and writing, to inquire into the teacher conceptions about the academic literacy, to analyze the literacy activities proposed, and to know the challenges they should go through during reading and writing academic texts. Here we analyze planning and evaluation of each course, class descriptions and texts written by students. Class observations and surveys directed to teachers and second-year students were made. The results showed that reading and writing activities are present in the practical curriculum as in the formal one. The writing activities are predominantly present in the evaluations. Surveys directed to teachers reveal teachers that recognize responsibility of the university in the academic literacy and teachers who do not. In addition, surveys directed to students revealed many difficulties in reading, while the analysis of writing showed some difficulties. Knowledge of the current situation will allow designing intervention projects aimed to facilitating the process of incorporation of students to the academic culture.
