Task-oriented reading efficiency : interplay of general cognitive ability, task demands, strategies and reading fluency

2022

AbstractThe associations among readers’ cognitive skills (general cognitive ability, reading skills, and attentional functioning), task demands (easy versus difficult questions), and process measures (total fixation time on relevant and irrelevant paragraphs) was investigated to explain task-oriented reading accuracy and efficiency (number of scores in a given time unit). Structural equation modeling was applied to a large dataset collected with sixth-grade students, which included samples of dysfluent readers and those with attention difficulties. The results are in line with previous findings regarding the dominant role of general cognitive ability in the accuracy of task-oriented reading…

Tapaustutkimus kahdeksasluokkalaisten tiedonhakustrategioista internetlukemisessa

2017

Tutkielmassa selvitän, millaisia internetlukijoita ja -tiedonhakijoita yläkoululaiset ovat. Tarkastelen työssä tarkemmin neljän kahdeksasluokkalaisen internetissä tapahtuvaa tiedonhakuprosessia ja sen eri vaiheita. Usein nuorten ajatellaan olevan niin sanottuja diginatiiveja, jolloin heidän ajatellaan olevan automaattisesti hyviä lähes kaikessa internetiin ja teknologiaan liittyvässä toiminnassa. On kuitenkin havaittu, että nuoret näyttävät yliarvioivan omat lukemistaitonsa verkossa. Nykyisin tietoa on saatavilla verkossa ennennäkemättömän paljon. Ongelma on kuitenkin siinä, että verkossa tutkimustieto, kaupallinen tieto ja mielipiteet elävät sulassa sovussa, jolloin lukijan vastuulle jää m…

Literacy Skills and Online Research and Comprehension : Struggling Readers Face Difficulties

2019

The present study evaluated the extent to which literacy skills (reading fluency, written spelling, and reading comprehension), together with nonverbal reasoning, prior knowledge, and gender, are related to students’ online research and comprehension (ORC) performance. The ORC skills of 426 sixth graders were measured using a Finnish adaptation of the Online Research and Comprehension Assessment. Results of a structural equation model showed that these ORC skills were divided into six highly correlated factors, and that they formed a common factor in ORC. Altogether, these predictor variables explained 57% of the variance in ORC. Reading comprehension, along with gender, was the strongest p…

Teaching sourcing during online inquiry – adolescents with the weakest skills benefited the most

2022

AbstractSourcing - identifying, evaluating, and using information about the sources of information - assists readers in determining what to trust when seeking information on the Internet. To survive in the post-truth era, students should be equipped with sufficient sourcing skills. This study investigated the efficacy of a teacher-led intervention aimed at fostering upper secondary school students’ (N = 365) sourcing during online inquiry. The intervention (4 × 75 min) was structured in accordance with the phases of online inquiry: locating, evaluating, synthesizing, and communicating information. During the intervention, teachers demonstrated why and how to source, and students practiced s…

Promoting sixth graders’ credibility evaluation of Web pages: An intervention study

2020

Abstract This study investigated whether a teacher-led intervention program on online inquiry improved sixth graders' performance in a credibility evaluation task. Students (N = 342) were divided into two conditions, an intervention group (190 students) and a control group (152 students). The intervention program (21 × 45 min lessons) was implemented during a six-week course as a part of normal schoolwork. The program included explicit teaching of online inquiry skills: searching for information (3 lessons), evaluating credibility of information (3 lessons), and synthesizing information (3 lessons). In addition, the skills taught were applied in two online inquiry projects comprising 12 les…

How do gender, Internet activity and learning beliefs predict sixth-grade students’ self-efficacy beliefs in and attitudes towards online inquiry?

2021

Today’s students search, evaluate and actively use Web information in their school assignments, that is, they conduct an online inquiry. This current survey study addresses sixth-grade students’ self-efficacy beliefs in and attitudes towards online inquiry, and to what extent free-time and school-related Internet activity, gender and learning beliefs explain these. The questionnaire was administered in 10 schools to 340 sixth-graders in Finland. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed three elements of self-efficacy beliefs: self-efficacy in Web searching, the evaluation of sources and synthesising information. Furthermore, attitudes towards online inquiry loaded into two fact…

Lukiolaiset rokotusaiheisten nettilähteiden luotettavuuden arvioijina

2020

Internetin tarjoama suuri määrä laadultaan vaihtelevaa informaatiota on tehnyt tiedon luotettavuuden arvioinnista entistä vaikeampaa. Tiedon alkuperä, laatu ja todenmukaisuus ovat usein epäselviä, mikä vaikeuttaa asiallisen tiedon löytämistä ja sen tarkoituksen arvioimista. Kritiikitön suhtautuminen nettiteksteihin voi johtaa vääränlaisiin mielikuviin asioista ja jopa riskialttiiden päätösten tekemiseen. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin lukiolaisten taitoja valita rokotusaiheisia nettilähteitä ja arvioida niiden luotettavuutta. Saatujen tulosten perusteella nettilukutaitojen suunnitelmalliselle opettamiselle eri kouluasteilla on selvästi tarvetta. nonPeerReviewed
