In recent decades, increasing numbers of studies have focused on metacomprehension accuracy, or readers’ ability to distinguish
between texts comprehended more vs. less well. Following early findings that suggested readers are fairly poor at doing so,
a number of studies have identified specific tasks to supplement a single reading of text that have resulted in greater metacomprehension
accuracy. One assumption underlying these studies is that, in the absence of such tasks, metacomprehension accuracy is uniformly
poor, and given their implementation, readers uniformly improve. Here we describe the individual variation that occurs both
in the absence (e.g., within a single text reading manipulation) and presence (e.g., within a rereading or selective rereading task manipulation) of these supplementary tasks (N = 214), in order to make a case for greater attention to individual differences in metacomprehension accuracy. We also introduce
a new manipulation in metacomprehension research, selective rereading, and argue that certain types of tasks may be more likely
to reveal individual differences in metacomprehension accuracy due to the nature of the task being more or less demanding
on working memory capacity. 相似文献

The effect of metacomprehension judgment task on comprehension monitoring and metacognitive accuracy
Yasuhiro Ozuru Christopher A. Kurby Danielle S. McNamara 《Metacognition and Learning》2012,7(2):113-131
The authors investigated differences in the processes underlying two types of metacomprehension judgments: judgments of difficulty and predictions of performance (JOD vs. POP). An experiment was conducted to assess whether these two types of judgments aligned with different types of processing cues, and whether their accuracy correlated with different factors such as sensitivity to processing ease and reading ability. Participants (n?=?72) read an extended text about brain structure and after each sentence made either a JOD or POP. Results suggested that JODs and POPs were made based on different sets of cues because different factors correlated with the accuracy of metacomprehension judgments. JOD accuracy correlated with sensitivity to processing ease and POP accuracy most strongly correlated with reading ability. Engaging in different metacomprehension judgments during reading may alter the information sources to which a reader attends and which factors influence metacognitive accuracy. 相似文献

The objective of this paper is to review and synthesize two interrelated topics in the adult metacomprehension literature:
the bases of metacomprehension judgment and the constraints on metacomprehension accuracy. Our review shows that adult readers
base their metacomprehension judgments on different types of information, including experiences with current tasks and pre-formed
expectations of performance affected by factors such as self-perception of ability. We propose a model that shows the anchoring
and adjustment mechanism (Tversky and Kahneman, Science 185:1124–1130, 1974) underlies metacomprehension judgments. Specifically,
due to test uncertainty, people may judge future comprehension performance by starting with an anchor such as pre-formed performance
expectations and then (insufficiently) adjust away from it based on experiences with current tasks. This anchoring and adjustment
model of metacomprehension judgment sheds light on what constrains metacomprehension accuracy. We conclude that two main accuracy
constraints are the anchoring effect and the poor diagnostic validity of experiential cues. Based on the review, we discuss
avenues for future research that will further our understanding of the mechanisms underlying metacomprehension. 相似文献

The ability to monitor the status of one’s own understanding is important to accomplish academic tasks proficiently. Previous studies have shown that comprehension monitoring (metacomprehension accuracy) is generally poor, but improves when readers engage in activities that access valid cues reflecting their situation model (activities such as concept mapping or self-explaining). However, the question still remains as to which process, encoding or retrieving, causes the improvement of metacomprehension accuracy, and the findings of previous research on this matter have been inconsistent. This study examined whether college students’ metacomprehension accuracy improves when they expect, at the time of reading, that they will explain the content later (active encoding) or when they actually generate an explanation (encoding plus active retrieving). In the experiments, college students read five texts. During reading, some students expected that they would generate explanations but did not actually generate them. In contrast, some students actually generated an explanation of the text after reading. All students then rated their comprehension of each text. Finally, they completed tests on the materials. Results of both studies revealed that metacomprehension accuracy, operationalized as the association between comprehension ratings and test performance, was greater for the group that actually generated explanations than for the expectancy or control groups. 相似文献

Individual and developmental differences in reading monitoring: When and how do children evaluate their comprehension? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This paper examines evaluation in reading. Evaluation refers to the processes by which readers monitor their ongoing text
comprehension to assess performance and task difficulties. Monitoring is assumed to explain a large proportion of individual
differences in text comprehension, in that individuals need to be aware of their objectives and difficulties in order to adjust
their strategies to match task requirements. The participants were French children in grades 3 and 5. Study 1 examined their
evaluation-related knowledge (i.e., knowledge about reading objectives, sources of difficulties, comprehension awareness).
Study 2 examined the children’s actual evaluation behavior during a comprehension task. The results showed that few children
provided elaborate verbalizable knowledge about reading tasks, goals and corresponding skills, and that in most cases the
children were highly confident in their responses to text comprehension questions, regardless of the correctness of their
answer. The contribution of metalinguistic awareness to literacy acquisition as well as the implications of this type of study
for educational practice are discussed. 相似文献

The present research examined the effect of illustrations on readers' metacomprehension accuracy for expository science text. In two experiments, students read non-illustrated texts, or the same texts illustrated with either conceptual or decorative images; were asked to judge how well they understood each text; and then took tests for each topic. Metacomprehension accuracy was computed as the intra-individual correlation between judgments and inference test performance. Results from both studies showed that the presence of decorative images can lead to poor metacomprehension accuracy. In the second study, an analysis of the cues that students reported using to make their judgments revealed that students who used comprehension-relevant cues showed more accurate metacomprehension. A self-explanation instruction did not alter either comprehension-relevant cue use or metacomprehension accuracy, although some advantages were seen when readers were prompted to self-explain from texts illustrated with conceptual images. These results suggest that students may need more explicit instruction or support to promote the use of valid cues when engaging in comprehension monitoring with illustrated text, and that seductive information such as decorative images may undermine comprehension monitoring. 相似文献

In this study we explore the development of phonological and lexical reading in dyslexic children. We tested a group of 14
Italian children who have been diagnosed with dyslexia and whose reading age is end of grade 1. We compared this group with
a group of 70 typically developing children who have been tested for reading at the end of grade 1. For each dyslexic child
we also selected a participant who was attending the same grade, was close in age, and showed typical reading development
when tested with a narrative passage reading task (Cornoldi, Colpo, & Gruppo MT, 1981) for correctness and reading speed. Children in this group are “same grade controls.” We used a reading task consisting of
40 three syllables words. A qualitative and quantitative method of coding children’s naming allowed us to distinguish several
components of their reading performance: the grapheme and word recognition, the size of orthographic units involved in the
aloud orthography–phonology conversion, the reading process used to recognize words. The comparison of the dyslexic group
with the reading age and the same grade control groups reveals different trends of delayed reading processes. Considering
dyslexic children’s chronological age, lexical reading is greatly delayed. Considering dyslexic children’s reading age, the
type of reading process that is more deeply delayed is phonological reading. The rate of fragmented phonological reading (i.e.,
a type of syllabized phonological reading) is much higher in dyslexic children compared to the reading age group, suggesting
that some factors undermine the possibility of internalizing the orthography–phonology conversion and the blending processes. 相似文献

Today’s emphasis on using children’s literature as a tool to teach reading and writing sub-skills distracts teachers’ attention
from looking to children’s books for their historical role in helping children navigate the intellectual, social, and emotional
terrains of childhood. This article argues, first, that early childhood educators must remain fluent in the use of literature
that supports young children’s psychosocial development. Second, teachers must establish criteria for choice. By way of example,
it examines two popular books for young children, Sendak’s (1963) Where the Wild Things Are [New York: HarperCollins Publishers] and Shannon’s (1998) No, David! [New York: Blue Sky Press] Three theoretical perspectives guide the analysis. The first combines Dewey’s (1938/97) [Experience and education. New York:Touchstone] impetus for learning and Vygotsky’s (1978) [Mind in society. Cambridge: Harvard University Press] theory that learning precedes development through scaffolded social
interaction. The second is Erikson’s (1950, 1985) [Childhood and society. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc.] theory of psychosocial development in light of the
4–6-year-old’s drive towards self-regulation, control, and independence. The third is Rosenblatt’s (1978) [The reader, the text, the poem. Urbana, IL: National Council of Teachers of English] transactional nature of reading. 相似文献

The paper discusses the children’s novel Gaffer Samson’s Luck (1984), by Jill Paton Walsh, from three different perspectives; those of a cultural geographer, a literary scholar and an English
teacher. It is part of a larger research project on children’s perception of their place-related identities through reading
and writing. The novel is used as a case study to develop a multidisciplinary approach, drawing upon theories of literature
and reading, and a conceptualisation of space in cultural geography. Employing ideas from different disciplines, the paper
offers an original interpretation of the text as well as innovative analytical tools for future research and for classroom
application. 相似文献

Performance on a standardized reading comprehension test reflects the number of correct answers readers select from a list of alternate choices, but fails to provide information about how readers cope with the various cognitive demands of the task. The aim of this study was to determine whether three groups of readers: normally achieving (NA), poor comprehenders (CD), with no decoding disability, and reading disabled (RD), poor comprehenders with poor decoding skills, differed in their ability to cope with reading comprehension task demands. Three task variables reflected in the question-answer relations that appear on standardized reading comprehension tests were identified.Passage Independent (PI) question can be answered with reasonable accuracy based on the reader's prior knowledge of the passage content.Inference (INFER) questions required the reader to generate an inference at the local or global test level.Locating (LOCAT) questions require the reader to match the correct answer choice to a detail explicitly stated in the text either verbatim or in paraphrase form. The relations among reader characteristics, cognitive task factors and reading comprehension test scores were analyzed using a structural relations equation with LISREL. It was found that the three reading groups differed with respect to the underlying relationship between their performance on specific question-answer types and their standardized reading comprehension score. For the NA group, a high score on PI was likely to be accompanied by a low score on INFER, whereas in the CD and RD groups, PI and INFER are positively related. The finding of a negative relationship between background knowledge and inference task factors for normally achieving readers suggests that even normal readers may have comprehension difficulties that go undetected on the basis of a standardized scores. This study indicates that current comprehension assessments may not be adequate for assessing specific reading difficulties and that more precise diagnostic tools are needed. 相似文献

The PISA studies of reading achievement of 15 year old students in OECD and partner nations show Anglophone nations to have
continuing high proportions of weak readers (≤Level 2), with no improvement in this area from 2000 to 2006 (OECD, Science
competencies for tomorrow’s world: Executive summary, 2007). The nations which have decreased their proportions of low achievers all use highly regular (transparent) orthographies,
which expedite the development of efficient reading and writing skills (Galletly and Knight, Aust J Learn Disabil 9(4):4–11,
2004). While international scrutiny is being focussed on socio-cultural differences in education as a basis of nations’ achievement
differences, little consideration is currently being applied to the speed of reading accuracy and spelling development. This
is surprising, given the volume of research showing that orthographic regularity significantly expedites development of reading—accuracy
and spelling—with very low rates of reading difficulties in nations with highly regular orthographies (Seymour et al., Br
J Psychol 94:143–174, 2003, p. 174; Share, Psychol Bull 134(4):584–615, 2008, p. 615). This paper proposes Transition-from-early-to-sophisticated-literacy (TESL) as a variable for use when considering
cross-national achievement differences. It is proposed that Complex TESL nations (including Anglophone nations) will need
paradigmatically different mechanisms to those used by Resolved and Facilitated TESL nations, for improved literacy and academic
outcomes by lower achievers. 相似文献

This meta-analysis integrates 296 effect sizes reported in eye-tracking research on expertise differences in the comprehension
of visualizations. Three theories were evaluated: Ericsson and Kintsch’s (Psychol Rev 102:211–245, 1995) theory of long-term working memory, Haider and Frensch’s (J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cognit 25:172–190, 1999) information-reduction hypothesis, and the holistic model of image perception of Kundel et al. (Radiology 242:396–402, 2007). Eye movement and performance data were cumulated from 819 experts, 187 intermediates, and 893 novices. In support of the
evaluated theories, experts, when compared with non-experts, had shorter fixation durations, more fixations on task-relevant
areas, and fewer fixations on task-redundant areas; experts also had longer saccades and shorter times to first fixate relevant
information, owing to superiority in parafoveal processing and selective attention allocation. Eye movements, reaction time,
and performance accuracy were moderated by characteristics of visualization (dynamics, realism, dimensionality, modality,
and text annotation), task (complexity, time-on-task, and task control), and domain (sports, medicine, transportation, other).
These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for theories of visual expertise in professional domains and their
significance for the design of learning environments. 相似文献

This discussion explores the role that storytelling and stories might have in leading children towards an awareness of uncertainty
and ambiguity in relation to Holocaust representation. It focuses on Morris Gleitzman’s Once (2006), its sequel Then (2008), and John Boyne’s The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2006) to consider the narrative techniques used to draw young readers into an understanding of the Holocaust. In particular, the
discussion examines the role of silence within these narratives to suggest that a meaningful dialogue with silence is a crucial
aspect in communicating the fractured nature of Holocaust history. Literature aimed at a young audience engages explicitly
with the oft-cited injunction not to forget the Holocaust by setting out to inform a new generation of readers about the horrors
of the Nazi genocide. In my analysis of these texts, however, I want to consider whether we should assume that such works
do necessarily perform a progressive educative role. The article argues that the blunt didacticism of Boyne’s text might close
down possibilities for the child reader’s imaginative engagement with the ungraspable nature of the Holocaust. In contrast,
Gleitzman’s novels confront the child reader with a complex set of ideas about the relationship between narrative and subjectivity. 相似文献

Uncovering the effect of text structure in learning from a science text: An eye-tracking study 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This study examined whether reading a refutational or non-refutational text would induce different cognitive processing, as
revealed by eye-movement analyses. Unlike a standard expository text, a refutational text acknowledges a reader’s alternative
conceptions about a topic, refutes them, and then introduces scientific conceptions as viable alternatives. Forty university
students read one or the other type of text about the phenomenon of the tides. All had alternative conceptions about the topic.
Findings showed that at post-test (off-line measure) refutational text readers learned more than non-refutational text readers.
Outcomes regarding indices of visual behavior (on-line measures) during reading revealed that refutational text readers fixated
the text segments presenting scientific concepts for a longer time overall than non-refutational text readers, in particular
during the second-pass reading. Refutational text readers also fixated the refutational segments for a shorter time than non-refutational
text readers for the control segments. Furthermore, all indices of visual attention predicted learning only for the refutational
text readers. The more the students’ reading of the refutational text was strategic, the better they learned from it. Implications
about eye-tracking methodology and the refutational effect are drawn. 相似文献

Research shows that misconceptions are usually detrimental to text comprehension. However, whether misconceptions also impair metacomprehension accuracy, that is, the accuracy with which one self-assesses one’s text comprehension, has received far less attention. We conducted a study in which we examined students’ (N = 47) comprehension and metacomprehension accuracy (prediction accuracy and postdiction accuracy) of a statistics text as a function of their statistical misconceptions. Text comprehension and metacomprehension accuracy referred to both conceptual and procedural aspects of statistics. The results showed that students who had more misconceptions achieved poorer conceptual text comprehension and, at the same time, provided more overconfident predictions of their conceptual and procedural text comprehension than students who had fewer misconceptions. In contrast, postdiction accuracy of conceptual and procedural text comprehension was not affected by misconceptions. 相似文献

Previous studies have revealed that preschool-age children who are not yet readers pay little attention to written text in
a shared book reading situation (see Evans & Saint-Aubin, 2005). The current study was aimed at investigating the constancy of these results across reading development, by monitoring eye
movements in shared book reading, for children from kindergarten to Grade 4. Children were read books of three difficulty
levels. The results revealed a higher proportion of time, a higher proportion of landing positions, and a higher proportion
of reading-like saccades on the text as grade level increased and as reading skills improved. More precisely, there was a
link between the difficulty of the material and attention to text. Children spent more time on a text that was within their
reading abilities than when the book difficulty exceeded their reading skills.
This research was supported by grants from the Canadian Language and Literacy Research Network (CLLRNet) to Jean Saint-Aubin
and to Mary Ann Evans. This article was part of Annie Roy-Charland doctoral exam. 相似文献

Informative narratives are enriched expository texts that provide to-be-learned conceptual information within a storyline with the aim to foster comprehension. However, research casts doubt on such a benefit for comprehension. Additionally, it is an open question how informative narratives impact metacomprehension accuracy. The results of two experiments (N1 = 63 and N2 = 70 university students) showed that informative narratives were less or not at all beneficial to text comprehension compared with expository texts. Moreover, informative narratives often led to more overestimation of comprehension in terms of predictions, postdictions, and response confidence than expository texts. This seemed to be particularly true, as Experiment 2 revealed, for readers with a lower need for cognition because they were more transported into the storyline of informative narratives. The findings suggest that informative narratives prime the activation of a narrative-specific reading goal and, thus, distract readers from learning and accurately monitoring the to-be-learned conceptual information. 相似文献

There are not enough reading tests standardized on adults who have very low literacy skills, and therefore tests standardized
on children are frequently administered. This study addressed the complexities and problems of using a test normed on children
to measure the reading comprehension skills of 193 adults who read at approximately third through fifth grade reading grade
equivalency levels. Findings are reported from an analysis of the administration of Form A of the Gray Oral Reading Tests—Fourth
Edition (Wiederholt & Bryant, 2001a, b). Results indicated that educators and researchers should be very cautious when interpreting test results of adults who have
difficulty reading when children’s norm-referenced tests are administered. 相似文献

Justification and Persuasion about Cloning: Arguments in Hwang’s Paper and Journalistic Reported Versions 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0

We examine the argumentative structure of Hwang et al.’s (2004) paper about human somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT, or ‘therapeutic cloning’), contrasted with four Journalistic Reported
Versions (JRV) of it, and with students’ summaries of one JRV. As the evaluation of evidence is one of the critical features
of argumentation (Jiménez-Aleixandre 2008), the analysis focuses on the use of evidence, drawing from instruments to analyze written argumentation (Kelly et al. 2008) and from studies about the structure of empirical research reports (Swales 2001). The objectives are: 1) To examine the use of evidence and the argumentative structure of Hwang et al.’s Science, 303: 1669–1674 (2004) original paper in terms of the criteria: a) pertinence of the evidence presented to the claims; b) sufficiency of the evidence
for the purpose of supporting the claims; and c) coordination of the evidence across epistemic levels. 2) To explore how the
structure of Hwang’s paper translates into the JRV and into university students’ perceptions about the evidence supporting
the claims. The argumentative structure of Hwang’s paper is such that its apparently ostensible main claim about NT constitutes
a justification for a second claim about its therapeutic applications, for which no evidence is offered. However, this second
claim receives prominent treatment in the JRV and in the students’ summaries. Implications for promoting critical reading
in the classroom are discussed. 相似文献

This study explored third-graders’ oral reading fluency (ORF) in easy text in relation to their third- and fourth-grade reading
comprehension. It also examined the children’s performance on two different measures of text exposure, a self-report questionnaire
and a title-recognition test. Although third-graders’ ORF related significantly to their reading comprehension, oral language
comprehension accounted for most of the variance in reading comprehension, whereas single word reading speed accounted for
most of the variance in ORF. Third-grade reading comprehension and ORF each predicted unique variance in children’s scores
on a fourth-grade state-mandated reading comprehension assessment. Scores on the self-report questionnaire correlated significantly
with third-grade ORF and fourth-grade reading; the self-report accounted for reliable variance in ORF even with all of the
other reading ability variables entered first. Results are consistent with the viewpoint that text exposure affects reading
fluency. They also demonstrate that ORF is a valuable predictor of middle-elementary children’s reading comprehension, even
when the ORF measure employs very easy text in which children achieve near-perfect word accuracy. 相似文献
