Download or read book The Effect of Tutoring and Metacognition on 5th and 6th grade Students Reading Strategies Reading Comprehension and Attitude Towards Reading written by Beth Hodgen Gudbrandsen and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tutors were observed to implement an array of strategies. The two brief metacognitive sessions on thinking about reading as problem solving appeared to have an impact on students' tutoring; +RPS tutors used significantly more decoding strategies while tutoring than their -RPS counterparts. However, +RPS tutors did not, generally, maintain the greater strategy use when resolving problems to their own reading. One global reading strategy significantly differentiated the three conditions, and all tutors performed marginally better than nontutors on a measure of reading comprehension. Overall, attitude towards reading scores decreased significantly over time and across conditions. However, tutoring may have a protective effect on students' attitude; both tutor conditions maintained significantly better attitudes than did nontutors.

Book excerpt: A book-length study described the metacognitive components of good and poor reading ability, with special reference to comprehension. Subjects were 53 Swedish students in grade 5 or 8 and were either good or poor comprehenders as defined by a combination of a reading test and teacher ratings. Data collection consisted of semi-structured interviews and the recall of three texts with different structures. Results indicted that: (1) good readers organized their knowledge and used it appropriately; (2) good readers' cognitive and metacognitive abilities were well integrated, whereas the pattern of functions in poor readers seemed distorted; (3) poor readers were less confident than good readers--they regarded themselves as poor learners and their verbal responses were less elaborate; (4) poor readers' decoding was often not automatic, leaving less capacity for comprehension; (5) the gap between good and poor readers widened from grade 5 to grade 8, as more independent reading was expected of students; and (6) the younger students believed they would improve, the older students lost interest in studies. Findings suggest that poor and good readers differ in the way they process text information and monitor their cognitive functions. (Contains over 200 references in addition to 19 tables and 5 figures of data. Appendixes present the interview questionnaire, examples of categorizations, the texts, and sample student responses.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of metacognitive strategies on students' attitude toward learning, with the strategies and learning experiences being specifically related to learning about reading. The three strategies that were explicitly taught were: previewing the text, questioning, and summarizing. Student surveys were conducted prior to learning a metacognitive strategy, and again after having time to put that strategy in place while reading independently. Data was gathered and coded to search for a correlation between explicitly learning and implementing a metacognitive strategy and improving students' attitude toward learning experiences related to reading. Most attitudes recorded on the surveys remained consistent throughout the study, but one trend emerged. On average, Students reported a positive change on each post survey on the prompt "This strategy made me a better reader". While explicitly teaching metacognitive strategies did increase student awareness of the learning process, this study did not implicate a noticeable impact on their attitude toward learning.
Download or read book The Effects of Collaborative Strategic Reading on Informational Text Comprehension and Metacognitive Awareness of Fifth Grade Students written by Margaret McCown and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effects of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) on informational text comprehension and metacognitive awareness of fifth grade students. This study tested the theories of metacognition and social cognition with a focus on self-regulation and self-efficacy. Participating students included a heterogeneous mix of regular education students, students with disabilities, and English learners (ELs). Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design, this study examined the effects of CSR on informational text comprehension using the Qualitative Reading Inventory-5 (QRI-5) and Georgia's Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT). Metacognitive awareness was measured using the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory (MARSI). Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) due to correlations between the dependent variables and the need to use student reading level and student subgroup as covariates. The MANCOVA analysis found a statistically significant difference on the QRI-5 between the experimental and control groups with the experimental group outperforming the control group, while controlling for student reading level and student subgroup; however, there was no statistically significant difference on the CRCT or on CRCT reading domains. The MANOVA analysis found no significant difference between the experimental and control groups on the MARSI and MARSI subscales.

Download or read book Metacognition and Reading Comprehension written by Ruth Garner and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1987 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developmental psychologists have been interested in metacognitive phenomena since the early 1970s, while reading researchers have been interested in awareness, monitoring, and strategy use for text-processing as part of a shift in focus from text factors to reader factors in reading. A great many research studies have been conducted by psychologists and reading researchers under the rubric of metacognition. Unlike other chapters fom some edited books which present only syntheses of this burgeoning research literature, this volume not only presents the literature but provides analysis about its usefulness for researchers and practitioners. It also presents a discussion of important methodological dilemmas within these research literatures.
