The use of multimedia story applications on touch-interactive mobile devices has become prevalent in early education settings. However, despite the promise of multimedia story applications for early learning outcomes, there has been a dearth of research on the educational benefits of such tools, and whether their effects can be strengthened with the integration of questioning strategies. This study investigated the effects of multimedia story reading and questioning on children’s literacy skills, including vocabulary learning, story comprehension and reading engagement. Using a 2 (multimedia vs. paper) × 2 (question vs. no question) design, a total of 72 participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: multimedia story reading, multimedia story reading with questioning, paper story reading, and paper story with questioning. To identify the effects of Media and Questioning on children’s vocabulary learning, story comprehension, and reading engagement, we conducted a series of two-way ANCOVAs, controlling for different covariates as appropriate. The results showed significant interaction of media and questioning on target vocabulary and significant main effect of media for engagement, but the results showed no significant main effects of either media or questioning for comprehension. This study demonstrated research tools to examine children’s learning and engagement with interactive mobile devices, and suggested potential benefits of multimedia story reading and questioning for learning. We discuss implications of these findings for the design and use of multimedia storybooks. 相似文献

The reading comprehension and visual word recognition in 50 deaf children and adolescents with at least 3 years of cochlear implant (CI) use were evaluated. Their skills were contrasted with reference data of 500 deaf children without CIs. The reading comprehension level in children with CIs was expected to surpass that in deaf children without implants, partly via improved visual word recognition. Reading comprehension scores of children with implants were significantly better than those of deaf children without implants, although the performance in implant users was substantially lagging behind that in hearing children. Visual word recognition was better in children with CIs than in children without implants, in secondary education only. No difference in visual word recognition was found between the children with CIs and the hearing children, whereas the deaf children without implants showed a slightly poorer performance. The difference in reading comprehension performance of the deaf children with and without CIs remained present when visual word recognition was controlled for. This indicates that other reading-related skills were also contributing to the improved reading comprehension skills of deaf children with CIs. 相似文献

In this study, the reading comprehension of deaf children and adolescents in the Netherlands is examined along with their
word identification. The reading comprehension of 464 deaf students and the word identification of 504 deaf students between
6 and 20 years of age was examined. The results show the reading comprehension scores of deaf children to be far below the
scores of hearing children. On average, the deaf subjects scored at a level equivalent to a hearing child in the first grade.
The word identification scores of the deaf children, however, were almost equivalent to the scores of hearing children. Although
reading comprehension and word identification appear to be related, this relation does not completely explain the comprehension
difficulties encountered by deaf children. Additional factors are required to explain deaf children’s difficulties with reading
comprehension. 相似文献

Effects of consistency and adequacy of language information on understanding elementary mathematics word problems 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Two types of elementary mathematics word problems involving different linguistic structures were devised to examine the understanding
and solution of these problems by 91 Grade 3, 4, and 5 children divided into “more able” and “less able” subgroups. One task
consisted of 12 consistent and 12 inconsistent language problems on the basic processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division. Another task consisted of a total of 36 word problems with 12 items each containing adequate, inadequate, and
redundant information, respectively, for problem solution. Subsidiary tasks of general ability, vocabulary, reading comprehension,
mathematics concepts, reflection on mathematics learning, and working memory were also administered to provide estimates of
the contribution of these “nonmathematics” tasks to the solution of elementary mathematics problems. Analyses of variance
and covariance of group data showed significant main effects of grade, consistency, and adequacy of linguistic information
in problem solution. Word problems containing inconsistent information were more difficult than those with consistent information.
Further, word problems containing inadequate and redundant information were more difficult to classify, and for the children
to explain, than those items with just enough information. Interviews with 12 individual children provided further insight
into their strategies for problem solutions. Both cognitive and developmental perspectives are important for mathematics learning
and teaching for children with or without learning disabilities. 相似文献

Listening and reading comprehension can be assessed by analyzing children’s visual, verbal, and written representations of
their understandings. “Talking Drawings” (McConnell, S. (1993). Talking drawings: A strategy for assisting learners. Journal of Reading, 36(4), 260–269 is one strategy that enables children to combine their prior knowledge with the new information derived from
an expository text and “translate” those newly-acquired understandings into other symbol systems, including an oral discussion
with a partner, a more detailed drawing, and written labels for the drawing. The Talking Drawings strategy begins by inviting
children to create pre-learning drawings. These initial drawings are a way of taking inventory of a child’s current content
knowledge about a particular topic. After pre-learning drawings are created and shared, children listen to or read an expository
text (e.g., information book, passage from a textbook) on the same topic as their drawing. Pairs of students discuss the information
and either modify their pre-learning drawings to be more detailed or create completely new drawings that reflect the recently-acquired
information. Students are encouraged to label their drawings with words in a diagram or schematic fashion. By evaluating the
“before” and “after” artwork, educators can identify advances in students’ reading and listening comprehension of the terminology,
facts, and principles on a particular topic. 相似文献

Comprehension emerges as the results of inference and strategic processes that support the construction of a coherent mental
model for a text. However, the vast majority of comprehension skills tests adopt a format that does not afford an assessment
of these processes as they operate during reading. This study assessed the viability of the Reading Strategy Assessment Tool
(RSAT), which is an automated computer-based reading assessment designed to measure readers’ comprehension and spontaneous
use of reading strategies while reading texts. In the tool, readers comprehend passages one sentence at a time, and are asked
either an indirect (“What are your thoughts regarding your understanding of the sentence in the context of the passage?”)
or direct (e.g., why X?) question after reading each pre-selected target sentence. The answers to the indirect questions are
analyzed on the extent that they contain words associated with comprehension processes. The answers to direct questions are
coded for the number of content words in common with an ideal answer, which is intended to be an assessment of emerging comprehension.
In the study, the RSAT approach was shown to predict measures of comprehension comparable to standardized tests. The RSAT
variables were also shown to correlate with human ratings. The results of this study constitute a “proof of concept” and demonstrate
that it is possible to develop a comprehension skills assessment tool that assesses both comprehension and comprehension strategies. 相似文献

Grade 1 literacy skills of twin children in Australia (New South Wales) and the United States (Colorado) were explored in
a genetically sensitive design (N = 319 pairs). Analyses indicated strong genetic influence on word and nonword identification, reading comprehension, and
spelling. Rapid naming showed more modest, though reliable, genetic influence. Phonological awareness was subject to high
nonshared environment and no reliable genetic effects, and individual measures of memory and learning were also less affected
by genes than nonshared environment. Multivariate analyses showed that the same genes affected word identification, reading
comprehension, and spelling. Country comparisons indicated that the patterns of genetic influence on reading and spelling
in Grade 1 were similar, though for the U.S. but not the Australian children new genes came on stream in the move from kindergarten
to Grade 1. We suggest that this is because the more intensive kindergarten literacy curriculum in New South Wales compared
with Colorado, consistent with the mean differences between the two countries, means that more of the genes are “online” sooner
in Australia because of accelerated overall reading development. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to examine the predictive value of a dynamic test of English and French lexical specificity on at-risk reading classification in 13 at-risk and 44 not at-risk emerging English (L1)–French (L2) bilingual Grade 1 children (M = 75.87 months, SD = 3.18) enrolled in an early French immersion program in Canada. Lexical specificity was assessed with a computerized word learning game in which children were taught new English (e.g., “foal” and “sole”) and French (e.g., bac “bin” and bague “ring”) word pairs contrasted by minimal phonological differences. The results indicated that the dynamic test of lexical specificity in English contributed significantly to the prediction of children’s French at-risk reading status at the end of Grade 1 after controlling for French phonological awareness and nonverbal reasoning skills. However, French lexical specificity did not predict children’s reading risk classification in French after controlling for French phonological awareness. Thus, it may be feasible to identify at-risk status in emerging bilinguals using dynamic measures in their stronger language. 相似文献

There are three parts to this paper. First, I review briefly the signposts from research, theory, and application in developmental
dyslexia in the 1960s and the 1970s that have led us from there to here, and show the pitfalls to avoid. Second, I discuss
some of the pertinent issues of the 1980s: the role of intelligence in the diagnosis of children with specific reading disabilities,
the distribution of reading difficulties and disabilities, and the important place of verbal efficiency. Third, I project
to the 1990s to emphasize the challenge of the computer technology as mediated learning and the challenge of “bounded rationality”
and “collective rationality” in education. Throughout this survey, the paramount role of knowledgeable and caring teachers
is implicit.

In this article we analyze the dialogic learning of one pair of students in order to investigate how these students cope with a collaborative learning situation in the classroom. Our aim is to substantiate the claims that not only are young students (8 year olds) capable of solving mathematical problems collaboratively, but that they also take an active role in regulating their collaborative learning activities. More specifically, our claim is that children appear to apply constructs of “mathematical level raising”, “social interaction” and “division of time” to steer their own collaborative learning and that they are rather successful in balancing these three aspects. The analysis is exploratory, but this new perspective on collaborative learning is relevant theoretically and consequential for classroom practice. 相似文献

This study examined the extent to which mora deletion (phonological analysis), nonword repetition (phonological memory), rapid
automatized naming (RAN), and visual search abilities predict reading in Japanese kindergartners and first graders. Analogous
abilities have been identified as important predictors of reading skills in alphabetic languages like English. In contrast
to English, which is based on grapheme-phoneme relationships, the primary components of Japanese orthography are two syllabaries—hiragana
and katakana (collectively termed “kana”)—and a system of morphosyllabic symbols (kanji). Three RAN tasks (numbers, objects,
syllabary symbols [hiragana]) were used with kindergartners, with an additional kanji RAN task included for first graders.
Reading measures included accuracy and speed of passage reading for kindergartners and first graders, and reading comprehension
for first graders. In kindergartners, hiragana RAN and number RAN were the only significant predictors of reading accuracy
and speed. In first graders, kanji RAN and hiragana RAN predicted reading speed, whereas accuracy was predicted by mora deletion.
Reading comprehension was predicted by kanji RAN, mora deletion, and nonword repetition. Although number RAN did not contribute
unique variance to any reading measure, it correlated highly with kanji RAN. Implications of these findings for research and
practice are discussed. 相似文献

Life in the Hive: Supporting Inquiry into Complexity Within the Zone of Proximal Development 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

Research into students’ understanding of complex systems typically ignores young children because of misinterpretations of
young children’s competencies. Furthermore, studies that do recognize young children’s competencies tend to focus on what
children can do in isolation. As an alternative, we propose an approach to designing for young children that is grounded in
the notion of the Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky 1978) and leverages Activity Theory to design learning environments. In order to highlight the benefits of this approach, we describe
our process for using Activity Theory to inform the design of new software and curricula in a way that is productive for young
children to learn concepts that we might have previously considered to be “developmentally inappropriate”. As an illuminative
example, we then present a discussion of the design of the BeeSign simulation software and accompanying curriculum which specifically
designed from an Activity Theory perspective to engage young children in learning about complex systems (Danish 2009a, b). Furthermore, to illustrate the benefits of this approach, we will present findings from a new study where 40 first- and
second-grade students participated in the BeeSign curriculum to learn about how honeybees collect nectar from a complex systems
perspective. We conclude with some practical suggestions for how such an approach to using Activity Theory for research and
design might be adopted by other science educators and designers. 相似文献

Our study integrates automated natural language-oriented assessment and analysis methodologies into feasible reading comprehension
tasks. With the newly developed T-MITOCAR toolset, prose text can be automatically converted into an association net which
has similarities to a concept map. The “text to graph” feature of the software is based on several parsing heuristics and
can be used both to assess the learner’s understanding by generating graphical information from his or her text and to generate
conceptual graphs from text which can be used as learning materials. In this study we investigate the effects of association
nets made available to learners prior to reading. The results reveal that the automatically created graphs are highly similar
to classical expert graphs. However, neither the association nets nor the expert graphs had a significant effect on learning,
although the latter have been reported to have an effect in previous studies. 相似文献

This study compared U.S. and Japanese grade school teachers’ perceptions of the strengths and weaknesses of children in their
classrooms identified as fitting commonly used criteria for a learning disability. U.S. teachers identified 4.0 percent of
their children as meeting the criteria and Japanese teachers identified 1.5 percent. The teachers then rated these children’s
abilities in the areas of listening, speaking, reading/writing, reasoning, mathematics, social, and study skills. Overall,
U.S. and Japanese teachers’ rating patterns were similar on 70 percent of the skills. In most areas where significant differences
were found—listening, speaking, reading/writing and study skills—U.S. teachers rated higher percentages of their children
as “weaker” than Japanese teachers. A noteworthy exception was the area of social skills where Japanese children received
higher percentages of “weak” ratings. U.S. and Japanese teachers also differed in their perceptions of causative factors leading
to their children’s learning difficulties. We discuss the findings in terms of U.S.-Japanese differences in writing systems
and cultural expectations. 相似文献

A science teacher and her mentor reflect on their participation in the Learning Research Cycle, a professional learning model
that bridges research and practice in both university and public school contexts. Teachers do scientific research in scientists’
laboratories, then bridge their scientific experiences with the design of new classroom learning environments and teacher-driven
educational research projects. Science students do scientific research via their teachers’ lessons that bridge laboratory
research with classroom learning. Scientists and educational researchers bridge their research interests to create new questions
centered on teaching and learning in authentic science learning environments. The authors engaged in this qualitative inquiry
present their perspectives on “what goes on,” “what we have learned,” and “what it means to the larger community.” 相似文献

Recent research has shown that many people with dyslexia find it unusually difficult to detect flickering or moving visual
stimuli, consistent with impaired processing in the magnocellular visual stream. Nonetheless, it remains controversial to
suggest that reduced visual sensitivity of this kind might affect reading. We first show that the accuracy of letter position
encoding may depend on input from the magnocellular pathway. We then suggest that when children read, impaired magnocellular
function may degrade information about where letters are positioned with respect to each other, leading to reading errors
which contain sounds not represented in the printed word. We call these orthographically inconsistent nonsense errors letter
errors. In an unselected sample of primary school children, we show that the probability of children making “letter” errors
in a single word reading task was best explained by independent contributions from motion detection (magnocellular function)
and phonological awareness (assessed by a spoonerism task). This result held even when controlling for chronological age,
reading ability, and IQ. Together, these findings suggest that impaired magnocellular visual function, as well as phonological
deficits, may affect reading. 相似文献

This article reports on a longitudinal study of reading progress in a group of five-year-old deaf children and a group of hearing controls. All children were prereaders at the beginning of the study and the IQ of the two groups were matched. The deaf children varied considerably on a number of measures, including implicit phonological awareness, oral ability, and familiarity with British Sign Language and fingerspelling. Overall, the deaf children made significantly less reading progress than their hearing peers over the first year of schooling, and they also scored significantly lower on the test of rime and onset awareness. However, considerable variation in the reading progress of the deaf children was positively correlated with oral skills, rime/onset awareness, and language comprehension. Language comprehension, itself, was positively correlated with signing and fingerspelling. The deaf children were assessed again one year later, when learning to read continued to be very delayed, and the pattern of correlation was essentially the same. The implications of these findings for the education of deaf children are discussed. 相似文献

This article examines the role of mode of acquisition (MoA) of word meanings in reading comprehension: children acquire word meanings using perceptual information (e.g., hearing, seeing, or smelling the referent) and/or linguistic information (e.g., verbal explanations). A total of 72 deaf and 99 hearing children between 7 and 15 years of age performed a self-paced reading task. Comprehension scores increased with age in both groups, but reading speed increased over age only for the hearing participants. For both groups, reading times on linguistically acquired words were longer than on perceptually acquired words. Although deaf children scored lower than hearing children in both conditions, comprehension scores for both groups were lower on linguistic items than on perceptual items. Thus, MoA influences reading comprehension, but the deaf show difficulty on both the perceptual and the linguistic items. 相似文献

Gestalt imagery—the ability to create imaged wholes—is a critical factor in oral and written language comprehension. Despite
good decoding, good vocabulary, and adequate background experiences, many individuals experience weak gestalt imagery, thus
processing “parts” rather than “wholes,” from verbal stimuli, spoken or written. This contributes to a Language Comprehension
Disorder that may be accompanied by a commonality of symptoms: weak reading comprehension, weak oral language comprehension,
weak oral language expression, weak written language expression, difficulty following directions, and a weak sense of humor.
Sequential stimulation using an inquiry technique develops gestalt imagery and results in significant improvement in reading
comprehension. 相似文献

Deaf children can improve their reading skills by learning to use alternative, visual codes such as fingerspelling. A sample of 28 deaf children between the ages of 7 and 16 years was used as an experimental group and another sample of 15 hearing children of similar age and academic level as a control group. Two experiments were carried out to study the possible interactions between phonological and visual codes and working memory, and to understand the relationships between these codes and reading and orthographic achievement. The results highlight the relationship between dactylic and orthographic coding. Just as phoneme-to-grapheme knowledge can facilitate reading for hearing children, fingerspelling-to-grapheme knowledge has the potential to play a similar role for deaf readers. 相似文献
