Hyoju Ahn – ProQuest LLC, 2023
As literacy and reading evolve, it is important to identify and describe the strategies and skills used in constructing meaning. This study examines online multimodal reading (OMR) strategies: those used in constructing meaning from multimodal information sources (e.g., images, audio, written words) on the Internet. Participants read online…

Stephanie L. Day; Jin K. Hwang; Tracy Arner; Danielle S. McNamara; Carol M. Connor – Grantee Submission, 2024
The purpose of this feasibility study was to examine the potential impact of reading digital interactive e-books, Word Knowledge e-books (WKe-Books), on essential skills that support reading comprehension with third-fifth grade students. Students (N= 425) read two WKe-Books, that taught word learning and comprehension monitoring strategies in the…

Jian, Yu-Cin – Research in Science Education, 2023
One of the ways to acquire scientific knowledge is by reading science comics. This study aims to investigate the attitudes (e.g., reading habits, interest, motivation) of university students toward reading science comics, and how they read science comics for acquiring scientific knowledge reflected by an eye tracker. Sixty-five undergraduates were…

Barzilai, Sarit; Tal-Savir, Danna; Abed, Fayez; Mor-Hagani, Shiri; Zohar, Asnat R. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Visualizations may help students understand the network of connections among multiple documents. This study explored how ninth-grade students used a novel digital document mapping scaffold to construct models of multiple documents. We examined students' maps and mapping processes in order to understand how they used the scaffold to visually…

Chatzikyriakidou, Kyriaki; Tacloban, Marie Janelle; Concepcion, Kassandra; McCartney, Melissa – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
A growing body of literature shows that primary scientific literature (PSL) is a valuable and useful tool for science, technology, engineering, and math education. We currently have a relatively limited understanding of how skills relating to reading PSL progress through academic careers, i.e., the process by which expertise in reading PSL…

Lecce, Serena; Devine, Rory T. – Infant and Child Development, 2022
The recent expansion of research on children's understanding of others' minds (or 'theory of mind', ToM) into middle childhood provides fresh opportunities to consider its origins and consequences. In this paper, we propose that, in addition to supporting children's social interactions, individual differences in ToM benefit academic achievement,…

Abendroth, Johanna; Richter, Tobias – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Readers confronted with unfamiliar and controversial scientific debates tend to rely on simple heuristics such as the perceived plausibility to focus their cognitive resources on specific information during comprehension. In the present experiment, we tested the assumption that plausibility judgments as an integral part of comprehension are used…

Gottschling, Steffen; Kammerer, Yvonne; Thomm, Eva; Gerjets, Peter – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2020
When reading scientific information on the Internet laypersons frequently encounter conflicting claims. However, they usually lack the ability to resolve these scientific conflicts based on their own prior knowledge. This study aims to investigate how differences in the trustworthiness and/or expertise of the sources putting forward the…
