Motivation to read is important for (in)formal lifelong learning. Researches PISA (2018), PIRLS (2021) point to the necessity of active reading for employment on the labor market. Research at the University of Ostrava (2023) investigated the content of school reading of literary texts at technical secondary schools in the Czech Republic through a content analysis of "Matriculation Reading Lists". Interviews with 12 students were further to find out what kinds of non-cognitive aspects influence reading in students. An interesting finding is that the majority (75%) of respondents consider the motivation to read from their parents as key and the reading list only as a study obligation.
