Processing and effectiveness of formative feedback to increase comprehension and learning of conceptual knowledge in digital environments
2019
Los estudiantes de educación secundaria participan diariamente en tareas académicas diseñadas para desarrollar habilidades de lectura y facilitar la adquisición de conocimientos. Habitualmente, los docentes suelen pedir a sus estudiantes que lean textos expositivos y respondan preguntas sobre sus contenidos (e.g., Ness, 2011; Sánchez y García, 2015; Sánchez, García y Rosales, 2010), ya que estas tareas respaldan la comprensión y el aprendizaje de conceptos e ideas (e.g., Anmarkrud, McCrudden, Bråten y Strømsø, 2013; Cerdán, Gilabert y Vidal-Abarca, 2011; Lewis y Mensink, 2012; Roelle y Berthold, 2017). En estas situaciones, los estudiantes han de aplicar tanto procesos cognitivos de compres…
Metacognizione e comprensione della lettura: quale rapporto?
2019
Una lettura competente implica l’utilizzo di specifiche strategie meta-cognitive e molteplici livelli di elaborazione delle informazioni che, se impiegate in modo consapevole, migliorano la comprensione. In que-sto lavoro si presenta un approfondimento sulla relazione tra metaco-gnizione, thinking aloud e comprensione della lettura, che si colloca all’interno alla ricerca nazionale RC-RT descritta in questo stesso vo-lume e volta a verificare l’efficacia del Reciprocal Teaching nel contesto italiano. Dopo aver presentato alcune ricerche svolte su allievi di età diverse finalizzati ad evidenziare il rapporto tra la comprensione della lettura e le abilità di secondo livello, raggruppate sotto…
Il ruolo della comprensione del testo nel processo di matematizzazione e modellizzazione
2017
In questo articolo vengono analizzate le risposte fornite a un interessante item relativo alla Prova standardizzata di matematica somministrata nel maggio 2015 a tutti gli allievi di quinta elementare del Canton Ticino. A partire dai risultati statistici emersi da un campione di 508 protocolli selezionati, viene presentata un’analisi qualitativa effettuata su un campione più ristretto di 174 studenti di prima media, allo scopo di rintracciare le cause delle difficoltà emerse nella risoluzione. Da questa analisi si rileva come le risposte sbagliate di diversi studenti siano legate a difficoltà nella comprensione del testo dell’item, in particolare a difficoltà di interpretazione linguistica.…
Development of silent reading fluency and reading comprehension across grades 1 to 9 : unidirectional or bidirectional effects between the two skills?
2022
Purpose This study examines the developmental interplay between silent reading fluency and reading comprehension from Grade 1 to Grade 9 (age 7 to 15) in a large Finnish sample (N = 2,518). Of particular interest was whether the associations are bidirectional or unidirectional. Methods Children’s silent reading fluency and reading comprehension skills were assessed using group-administered tests, at seven time points, in Grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9. A random intercept cross-lagged panel model with latent factors was used to identify between- and within-person associations between silent reading fluency and reading comprehension. The use of latent factors allowed for the controlling of me…
Adolescent reading and math skills and self-concept beliefs as predictors of age 20 emotional well-being
2023
This study examines longitudinal associations among reading skills, math skills and emotional well-being in a Finnish sample (n = 586) followed from the end of comprehensive school (Grade 9, age 15–16) to age 20. In particular, we determine whether the associations between skills and well-being are mediated by self-concept beliefs. In Grade 9, the participants’ reading fluency, PISA reading comprehension and math skills were assessed in classrooms, and questionnaires were used to assess self-concept (global and skill-specific) and internalising problems. At age 20, questionnaires were used to self-report emotional well-being and educational attainment. The results showed no direct predictiv…
Paper-bound online readers: Revisiting reading strategies of foreign language learners
2016
Making sense of any text written in a foreign language is a dynamic and demanding activity that engages decoding and comprehending processes. Meaning construction entails comprehension monitoring as quite often foreign language users may be confused by the information they have decoded, and then they have to identify the possible sources of confusion. Reading strategies – plans for solving problems with the construction of meaning (Duffy 1993) – play an important role in monitoring text comprehension, both printed on and electronic. Since the electronic media have entered educational, professional and private spaces where they coexist with printed matter, it is crucial to understand how and…

Reading Comprehension in Both Spanish and English as a Foreign Language by High School Spanish Students
2022
Several studies have highlighted that reading comprehension is determined by different linguistic skills: semantics, syntax, and morphology, in addition to one’s own competence in reading fluency (accuracy, speed, and prosody). On the other hand, according to the Linguistic Interdependence Hypothesis, linguistic skills developed in one’s own native language (L1) facilitate the development of these skills in a second one (L2). In this study, we wanted to explore the linguistic abilities that determine reading comprehension in Spanish (L1) and in English (L2) in Secondary Education students. To do this, 73 Secondary Education Students (1st and 3rd year) participated in this study. The student…
Effective communication as a fundamental aspect of active aging and well-being: paying attention to the challenges older adults face in noisy environ…
2016
Successful communication is vital to active aging and well-being, yet virtually all older adults find it challenging to communicate effectively in noisy environments. The resulting discomfort and frustration can prompt withdrawal or avoidance of social situations, which, in turn, can severely limit the range of activities available to older adults and lead to a less active and satisfying lifestyle, and, in some cases, depression. Using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health’s (ICF) multifactorial model (WHO, 2001), we review the wider aspects of functioning and disability as they relate to hearing difficulties and communication, placing a particular emphasis …
Uz stāstiem balstīti uzdevumi angļu valodas teksta izpratnes pilnveidei vidusskolā
2015
Diplomdarba nosaukums ir „Uz stāstiem balstīti uzdevumi angļu valodas teksta izpratnes pilnveidei vidusskolā”. Izvirzītais darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā uz stāstiem balstīti uzdevumi var palīdzēt pilnveidot vidusskolēnu teksta izpratni angļu valodas stundās. Atsevišķa gadījuma pētījums ir izvēlēts kā pētījuma metode, kas tika realizēts Siguldas Valsts ģimnāzijas 10. klases angļu valodas stundās. Tās dalībnieki bija 13 skolēni. Pētījuma laikā skolēni tika anketēti, analizēta skolēnu attieksme pret viņu obligātajiem mācību grāmatas tekstiem un viņu lasīšanas izpratne, aprakstīta skolēnu darbošanās angļu valodas stundās, kurās bija iekļauti uz stāstiem balstīti uzdevumi, un analizēta skolēnu …
