Because trucks aren’t bicycles: orthographic complexity as an important variable in reading research
Severe enduring reading- and writing-accuracy difficulties seem a phenomenon largely restricted to nations using complex orthographies, notably Anglophone nations, given English’s highly complex orthography (Geva and Siegel, Read Writ 12:1–30, 2000; Landerl et al., Cognition 63:315–334, 1997; Share, Psychol Bull 134(4):584–615, 2008; Torgesen and Davis, J Exp Child Psychol 63:1–21, 1996; Vellutino, J Learn Disabil 33(3):223, 2000). They seem rare in transparent orthography nations such as Finland, which use highly regular spelling and few spelling rules beyond letter sounds, and most children read and write with impressive accuracy by the end of Year 1 (Holopainen et al., J Learn Disabil 34(5):401–413, 2001; Seymour et al., Br J Psychol 94:143–174, 2003; Spencer and Hanley, Br J Psychol 94(1):1–29, 2003; J Res Read 27(1):1–14, 2004). Orthographic complexity has strong and diverse impacts on reading, writing and academic development (Aro, Learning to read: The effect of orthography, 2004; Galletly and Knight, Aust J Learn Disabil 9(4):4–11, 2004; Aust Educ Res 38(3):329–354, 2011). Despite these strong effects, orthographic complexity is rarely included as a variable in reading research studies considering evidence from both Anglophone (complex orthography) and transparent-orthography readers, or included in discussion of factors influencing results. This paper discusses the differences in reading-accuracy development and difficulties evidenced in studies of Anglophone (complex-orthography) and transparent-orthography readers. It then explores instances of orthographic complexity not being considered in studies where it may have impacted results. This disregarding of orthographic complexity as a variable in research studies appears an oversight, one likely to be contributing to continuing confusion on many aspects of reading and writing development in both healthy- and low-progress readers. Needs for research in these areas are discussed. 相似文献

We present a meta-analysis to test the validity of the Simple View of Reading Gough & Tunmer (Remedial and Special Education,
7:6–10, 1986) for beginner readers of English and other, more transparent, orthographies. Our meta-analytic approach established that
the relative influence of decoding and linguistic comprehension on reading comprehension is different for readers of different
types of orthography during the course of early reading development. Furthermore, we identified key differences in the relations
among different measures of decoding and reading comprehension between readers of English and other more transparent orthographies.
We discuss the implications for reading instruction and the diagnosis of reading difficulties, as well as our theoretical
understanding of how component skills influence reading comprehension level. 相似文献

This study investigated the relationship between children’s ability to regulate emotions and display of appropriate behavior
in social settings. A sample of 33 children representing a wide range of social economic status was randomly selected from
a Head Start Program and an Early Childhood Development Center in the Midwest. Data were collected using the Emotion Regulation
Checklist (ERC) developed by Shields and Cicchetti (Dev Psychol 33:906–916, 1997, J Clin child Psychol, 27:231–395, 1998). A “Behavior Recording” checklist was developed and used to record appropriate and inappropriate behavior observed during
children social interactions. Teacher ratings identified children as generally high emotion regulators. Girls had generally
higher scores than boys in emotion regulation ability. A high relationship (r = .76) was also found between emotion regulation and display of appropriate behavior. Results indicate the importance of
emotions in relation to a child’s well being and academic achievement. Additionally, these findings suggest a need for parents
and early childhood educators to teach children appropriate emotional behavior when confronted with situations that are in
conflict with societal norms. 相似文献

A primary goal of educational systems is to provide learners with the information, skills, and dispositions needed to be an
effective member of a complex and information-rich society. To effectively address this goal, educators and educational psychologists
need to understand both the ability and the willingness of learners to grapple effectively with information. A psychological
construct that may illuminate heretofore unexplored aspects of learners’ willingness or reluctance to grapple with information
is the need for closure (Kruglanski, Psychol Inq 1(3):181–197, 1990; Kruglanski and Webster, Psychol Rev 103:263–283, 1996; Webster and Kruglanski, J Pers Soc Psychol 76(6):1049–1062, 1994). The purpose of this article is to provide educational psychologists with a theoretical overview of need for cognitive closure,
highlighting its applicability to instructional settings. We will also discuss what closure needs may look like within the
classroom and the conditions under which they may be exhibited. We argue for the relevance of the need for closure construct
for improving educators’ understanding of teaching and learning processes. 相似文献

This paper describes research that compares preservice early childhood teachers’ cultural values and the values they believe
are held by scientists. Using the Schwartz Values Inventory (SVI) (Schwartz (1992) Adv Exp Soc Psychol 25:331–351) preservice early childhood teachers cultural values were assessed, followed by an assessment
of the values they believed were held by scientists. Schwartz postulated that cultural values could be aggregated into 11
domains (universalism, benevolence, tradition, self-direction, stimulation, hedonism, achievement, power, conformity, spirituality,
and security). Paired T-tests indicated significant differences between preservice early childhood teachers’ cultural values from those they believed
scientists held on the domains of power, achievement, stimulation, benevolence, conformity, and security. The discussion explores
the meaning of these results and provides implications for early childhood science teacher education. 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

Developmental dyslexia is associated with functional abnormalities within reading areas of the brain. For some children diagnosed
with dyslexia, phonologically based remediation programs appear to rehabilitate brain function in key reading areas (Shaywitz
et al., Biological Psychiatry 55: 101–110, 2004; Simos et al., Neuroscience 58: 1203–1213, 2002). However, a non-trivial number of children diagnosed with dyslexia fail to respond to these interventions (Torgesen, Learning Disabilities Research & Practice 15: 55–64, 2000). A cross-sectional fMRI study investigating post-treatment effects was conducted in an effort to better understand differences
in brain function between treatment responders and non-responders. Educational testing and brain activation measured after
treatment suggested that the reading intervention used in the present study rehabilitated several basic level reading processes
in all participants diagnosed with dyslexia. However, activation in the left inferior parietal lobe differentiated treatment
responders and non-responders in comparison to non-impaired readers. Children with persistent deficits in single word decoding
(treatment non-responders) demonstrated significantly less activation in the left inferior parietal lobe when compared to
non-impaired readers. 相似文献

The purpose of this article is to qualitatively explore the affordances for risky play in two different preschool outdoor
environments, an ordinary preschool playground and a nature playground, based on Gibson (The ecological approach to visual
perception, 1979) theory of affordances and Heft’s and Kytte?’s (Heft in Children’s Environ Qual 5(3) 29–37, 1988; Kytt? in J Environ Psychol 22:109–123, 2002, Kytt? in J Environ Psychol 24:179–198, 2004) extended work on this theory. Observations of risky play in two Norwegian preschools, one ordinary preschool (where play
took place on an ordinary playground) and one nature and outdoor preschool (where play took place in a nature area) were conducted.
In addition, the children were interviewed about their actualized affordances of risky play, their mobility license, and the
constraints on risky play. The results show that both play environments afford an extensive amount of risky play among the
children, and that the degree of mobility license tolerated by the staff is an important factor for the children to actualize
these affordances. Differences in the qualities and features in the two play environments were found to have an impact on
the degree of riskiness in the play situations. As such, the nature playground afforded a higher degree of risk in children’s
risky play. 相似文献

Engaging young children in literacy activities at home is one way for families to augment and enrich the home literacy setting
and to participate in their child’s education at an early age (St. Pierre et al. in Dev Psychol 41(6): 953–970, 2005). Burgess et al. (Read Res Quart 4(4): 408–426, 2002) suggested that the resources families have at their disposal, the quality of literacy role models provided by parents, and
the types of literacy and language activities in which parents and children engage, are all related to young children’s developing
literacy and language abilities. Other studies demonstrated that even modest literacy-promoting interventions can significantly
enhance a young child’s early literacy environment by increasing the frequency of parent–child book-sharing activities (Weitzman
et al. in Pediatrics 113(5):1248–1253, 2004). Dever (J Early Educ Fam Rev 8(4):17–28, 2001) and Dever and Burtis (Early Child Dev Care 172(4):359–370, 2002) emphasize the use of family literacy bags for early childhood development. Developing and sharing take-home literacy bags
is an exciting literacy-promoting activity that may be shared with children and families to provide support for emergent literacy.
This article explores the development of the BAGS (Books and Good Stuff) take-home literacy kits and provides suggestions
for content, construction, implementation, and evaluation. Sixteen current books are reviewed and recommended by theme. 相似文献

The research project presented in this article was designed to provide a better understanding of the stable and significant
differences in the PISA results between two otherwise very similar Nordic welfare states, Denmark and Finland. In the PISA
studies, Finnish students repeatedly achieve the highest Nordic (and partly worldwide) scores in e.g. reading, science and
math, while Danish students score lower. Even though Denmark has one of the world’s most expensive educational systems, the
OECD ranks the Finnish school system as the world’s best both in terms of quality and equity (OECD 2004). The basic research question is why these differences continue to persist. The case study methodology was mainly inspired by Kirsti Klette’s classroom research (Klette 2003) which involves both interviews and observations. Thus, the overall design could be labeled mixed methods (Johnson and Onwuegbuzie Educational Researcher, 33(7): 14-26, 2004). Five regular public schools in each country were sampled for the comparative classroom studies. The basic theoretical approaches
follow Hundeide’s theory of pedagogical communication and relations (2003) and Csikszentmihalyi’s flow-theory (1992). Both this study and statistical studies (S?rensen 2008) show that the difference in the Danish and Finnish PISA results mainly consists in the relatively better score by the lowest
scoring 25% of the Finnish pupils compared to the lowest scoring Danish quartile. The results of this study point to a number
of possible classroom related reasons why the Finnish school system can produce a better outcome for the lowest scoring quartile
of pupils. These reasons are presented and discussed in the article. The study underlines the need to focus more on good classroom
management in Denmark—and recommends further international, comparative research in order better to understand the huge differences
shown in large scale international programmes such as PISA, PIRLS and TIMMS. The study also reveal the need for more knowledge
about inclusive classroom practices, the use of teacher assistants and free, healthy school meals for all pupils. 相似文献

This investigation examined developmental aspects of 155 second‐graders' intrinsic reading motivation and reading achievement at the beginning and end of a school year. Reading motivation remained at the same level through the school year, while reading achievement was significantly higher at the end of it than at the beginning. According to word reading skills, low reading achievers (n = 63) and typical readers (n = 92) evinced significant differences in reading motivation. The former scored lower in overall reading motivation and self‐concept as a reader, as well as in reading achievement. Throughout the school year, low reading achievers showed a decline in overall motivation, self‐concept as a reader and literacy outloud, and did not improve in reading comprehension achievement. Reading motivation in typical readers remained high and steady during the school year. Implications of the results are discussed in relation to previous studies. 相似文献

The way in which students view science and its practitioners, particularly during their late elementary and early secondary
grade levels, has been at the core of numerous studies dating back to research by Mead & Metraux (Science 126:384–390, 1957). In this study, we used the Draw-a-Scientist Test Checklist developed by Finson, Beaver & Cramond (Sch Sci Math 95(4):195–205,
1995) to explore and document Colombian and Bolivian students’ perceptions of scientists. Despite the wealth of information from
years of study, there is a lack of research on images held by students in Latin American nations. This study involved Colombian
and Bolivian students (N = 1,017) in 5th to 11th grades and was aimed at providing an original account of how these students picture scientists and
science. Results suggest differences on how students perceive scientists based on nationality, grade and school type. We discuss
how features may be associated with educational and socioeconomic status in each school community. 相似文献

This paper explores the possibilities of working with White, working-class teacher education students to explore the “complex
social trajectory” (Reay in Women’s Stud Int Forum 20(2):225–233, 1997a, p. 19) of class border crossing as they progress through college. Through analysis of a course that I have developed, Education and the American Dream, I explore political and pedagogical issues in teaching the thousands of teacher education students who are the first in
their families to attend college about social class. Arguing that faculty in teacher education too often disregard the significance
of deep class differences between themselves and many of their students, I propose that teacher education include coursework
in which upwardly-mobile students (a) draw upon their distinctive perspectives as class border-crossers to elucidate their
“complex social positioning as a complicated amalgam of current privilege interlaced with historic disadvantage” (Reay in
Women’s Stud Int Forum 20(2):225–233, 1997a, p. 25) and (b) complicate what Adair and Dahlberg (Pedagogy 1:173–175, 2001, p. 174) have termed a cultural “impulse to frame class mobility as a narrative of moral progress”. Such coursework, I suggest,
has implications for the development of teacher leaders in stratified schools. The paper draws upon the literatures on social
class and educational attainment, on the construction of classed identities in spite of silence about class in public and
academic discourse, and on pedagogies for teaching across class differences. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Wer Schule in Deutschland und in Nordamerika vergleichend beobachtet, dem fallen bald für den Alltag von Schülerinnen und
Schülern relevante Unterschiede auf, die in der erziehungswissen-schaftlichen Forschung bisher kaum bearbeitet wurden: Hierzu
geh?rt — neben der unterschie dlichen Bewertung des in Nordamerika verp?nten, in Deutschland aber fast zum guten Ton geh?renden
‘cheating’/Schummelns — die Bewertung guter Schulleistungen durch Peers. W?hrend gute Leistungen in Nordamerika unter Peers
hoch im Kurs zu stehen scheinen, werden sie in Deutschland — insbesondere in der Sekundarstufe I — oft mit dem Strebervorwurf
belegt. Der hier vorgelegte Text wendet sich der Frage zu, ob der Strebervorwurf Auswirkungen auf tats?chliche Schulleistungen
im Bereich der Mathematik hat. Er vertritt die These, dass befürchtete negative Peer-Sanktionen als Folge besonders guter
Leistungen in Mathematik bei guten Schülern und insbesondere bei leistungsstarken M?dchen die Aussch?pfung des vorhandenen
Leistungspotentials begrenzt und auf Dauer auch die Leistungsf?higkeit reduziert. Vorgestellt wird zum einen die Forschungsidee
eines im DFG-Schwerpunktprogramm „Bildungsqualit?t von Schule“ gef?rderten Projekts, zum anderen erstes empirisches Material
aus zwei Vorerhebungen des Projekts, mit dem die empirische Plausibilit?t der Forschungsidee untermauert werden soll.
Summary Do Nerds Refuse Achievement? Project idea and first data from a study on mathematical achievement Whoever compares schooling in Germany and North America, will soon come across differences with everyday relevance for the school life of students that have rarely been addressed in educational research: Besides the different attitudes towards cheating — being a complete taboo in North America, but a lesser sin in Germany — there is the attitude towards high achievement by peers. Whereas in North America high achievement seems highly valued, high-achieving students in Germany are often accused of being nerds or teacher’s pets, particularly in grades 7–10. The present article deals with the extent to which the nerd accusation has consequences for real achievement in mathematics. The hypothesis is formulated that fear of negative sanctions by peers, as a consequence of being particularly good in math, encourages high achievers to reduce their efforts. Particularly among high-achieving grils, this is presumed to even affect the objective achievement potential in math in the long run. Firstly, the research idea for a study funded by the German Research Council (DFG) in the framework of its focal program on “Quality of Education in Schools” is presented. Secondly, first empirical material from two pilot studies is presented in order to underscore the plausibility of the research idea.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

This is a design study meant to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating three rather different theoretical perspectives
for future efforts in multimedia instructional design. A multimedia instructional grammar program contextualized within the
teaching of English as a Second Language (ESL) was developed and evaluated. The program design was grounded in Mayer’s multimedia
learning theory (2001), Sweller’s cognitive load theory (CLT, 2005), and cognitive training theory using an inductive reasoning
paradigm (Klauer and Phye, Rev Educ Res 78(1):85–124, 2008). A successful integration of cognitive training theory into program design is expected to facilitate the transition of student’s
declarative knowledge of a grammar concept of passive voice to procedural knowledge (Phye, Contemp Educ Psychol 16:87–94,
1991; Phye et al., Empirical methods for evaluating educational interventions, Academic Press/Elsevier, San Diego, 2005). Two studies involving ten and four adult ESL learners were conducted in a Midwest community college. Grammar teaching occurred
within the context of history and geography of the USA. Students with low prior knowledge of passive voice grammar concepts,
intermediate level of general vocabulary, and adequate basic knowledge of content (basic geography and history) benefited
most from the program. Preliminary results are encouraging for the aforementioned integrative efforts. 相似文献

Integrating both quantitative and qualitative approaches, this study examined the knowledge and application of strategic reading
among Taiwanese adolescents learning to read English as a foreign language. A total of 144 Grade 11 students participated
in this study. Correlational analysis and t-tests were applied to analyzing quantitative data, including an English reading
comprehension test and two sets of reading strategy questionnaires; the constant comparative method (Glaser and Strauss 1967) was used for analyzing qualitative data, comprising semi-structured interviews and think-aloud protocols. Results from quantitative
analysis show a relatively strong link between the perceived use of first language (L1, Chinese) and second language (L2,
English) strategies. Nonetheless, metacognitive and cognitive strategies were reportedly used more frequently for L1 reading,
whereas support strategies were more often used for L2 reading. One salient theme that emerged from the qualitative analysis
is that the reading of the English texts more closely resembled the reading of the texts written in the classic literary style
of Chinese than the reading of the texts written in contemporary Chinese. These findings to some extent support the reading
universals hypothesis (Goodman in Journal of Typographic Reseach, 103–110, 1970); yet, skills transfer is not uniformly automatic (Bell in TESOL Quarterly, 687–704, 1995; Urquhart and Weir 1998). 相似文献

Robinson, McKay, Katayama, and Fan (Contemporary Educational Psychology, 23, 331–343, 1998) reported that women were underrepresented in terms of authorships, editorial board memberships, and editorships in the field
of educational psychology based on membership trends. More recently, Evans, Hsieh, and Robinson (Educational Psychology Review, 17, 263–271, 2005) reported that women had made gains as editors but had not kept pace with organizational membership in terms of authorships
and editorial board memberships. Our goal in this paper was to further examine women’s participation in educational psychology
journals by extending the datasets of Robinson et al. and Evans et al. The number of female authors per article, particularly those from non-US institutions, has continued to increase. However,
consistent with Evans et al., although females are continuing to make numerical gains in both authorships—both primary and secondary—and editorial board
memberships, their involvement has not kept pace in relation to membership trends. 相似文献

This study investigated the role of speech perception accuracy and speed in fluent word decoding of reading disabled (RD)
children. A same-different phoneme discrimination task with natural speech tested the perception of single consonants and
consonant clusters by young but persistent RD children. RD children were slower than chronological age (CA) controls in recognizing
identical sounds, suggesting less distinct phonemic categories. In addition, after controlling for phonetic similarity Tallal’s
(Brain Lang 9:182–198, 1980) fast transitions account of RD children’s speech perception problems was contrasted with Studdert-Kennedy’s (Read Writ Interdiscip
J 15:5–14, 2002) similarity explanation. Results showed no specific RD deficit in perceiving fast transitions. Both phonetic similarity and
fast transitions influenced accurate speech perception for RD children as well as CA controls. 相似文献

《Australian Journal of Learning Difficulties》2013,18(3):139-145
Abstract Australian results on PISA 2000 (Program for International Student Assessment; OECD, 2002) show polarised reading achievement, with large proportions of strong readers (>40%) but also large proportions of weak readers (>30%). From the results it would seem that current instruction meets many readers’ needs, but not those of this lower third. With reading accuracy not emphasised in Australian reading instruction in recent decades, reading accuracy difficulties may underlie this weak achievement. This paper discusses issues that underlie the optimising of reading instruction in Australia, the importance of applied research at school level in resolving these issues, and the merits of use of rigorous reading accuracy tests in this research. The Test of Word Reading Efficiency (TOWRE) is discussed as a potential test for gathering such evidence and data, and the findings from testing of 1200 students in one Queensland region are discussed. 相似文献
