Literate Society

Research findings show that in general Indonesian students’ reading ability is stilllow. This is attributable to, among others, poor reading habit, which is caused by lowreading motivation. Several aspects cause low reading motivation: (1) family andneighborhood environments that do not support reading habit, (2) society’s low bookbuyingpower, (3) limited number of good libraries, (4) negative effects of electronic mediadevelopment, (5) learning model that in general does not make students read, and (6)inappropriate learning system for reading. To improve reading motivation several attemptscan be made: (1) making children get used to reading since their early age, (2) providinginteresting books, (3) creating an environment conducive for reading, (4) reconstructingthe library performance to make it interesting, and (5) developing a learning model forreading that is enjoyable, varied, and educative.Keywords: reading motivation, literate society

Alcohol And Other Drugs

Future teachers will have to develop the reading habit in their students, as this is an essential factor in schoolchildren. The lack of reading motivation among young people and the need to have it in order to transmit it has been evidenced. Young people often prefer to spend their leisure time using alcohol and other drugs rather than reading books for pleasure. The factors that influence reading motivation are varied, but the objective of this research work focuses on establishing the relationship between reading motivation and the problematic use of alcohol and other drugs in future teachers of Preschool and Primary Education. A total of 178 subjects among university students were recruited (56.6% girls). The ages ranged from 18 to 34 (M = 21.59, SD = 3.52). The first scale used was the MULTICAGE CAD-4 for behavioral addiction together with a Scale for Characterizing Motivation for Academic Reading (EMLA). The results of the study indicate that those young people who were more involved in the consumption of alcohol and drugs had a lower reading habit. Likewise, the study also reveals significant mean differences in reading motivation based on gender and age. This shows the need to enact healthy habits from the university related to increasing reading motivation and promoting the reading habit in future teachers.
