Tadele Muche; Birhanu Simegn; Kassie Shiferie – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2024
A review of the literature on second language learning indicates scanty skill-specific research related to efficacy beliefs and metacognitive strategy use, particularly in students' English reading skills. This study, thus, investigated the influence of metacognitive strategies use and self-efficacy beliefs on EFL reading comprehension of 150…

Nadine Cruz Neri; Sascha Bernholt; Hendrik Härtig; Anke Schmitz; Jan Retelsdorf – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Prior research has examined the impact of different cognitive predictors on students' expository and narrative text comprehension. It has become apparent that some cognitive variables predict text comprehension in both genres, while some are genre-specific predictors. However, the effect of reading motivation on expository and narrative text…

Luo, Dehong; Gong, Jing; Li, Yifei – Educational Studies, 2022
Readability formulae have been used to predict text difficulty, but their construction has been challenged. Previous readability formula designers typically adopted correct responses to reading comprehension questions (RCQs) as dependent variables, but they did not assess the effect of linguistic predictors concerning RCQs in the formula. Thus,…

Cho, Eunsoo; Kim, Eun Ha; Ju, Unhee; Lee, Garam A. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
We examined the extent to which self-efficacy and growth mindsets predict reading comprehension growth in sixth grade and the moderating role of initial word reading. Students (N = 303) reported on their self-efficacy as well as domain-general and reading-specific mindsets at the beginning of sixth grade. They completed brief bi-monthly reading…

Reading comprehension is an essential skill for learning in general and in science classes. Problems with reading comprehension might hinder students' participation in learning science. Text in science includes specific language features that distinguishes it from narrative text, so should reading instruction be part of teaching science? The…
