ABSTRACT This critical reflective essay highlights three significant moments in one White woman’s ongoing efforts to move beyond performative equity work. Through this narrative, the author sheds light on the unspoken rules of Whiteness that limited her engagement with race, reflecting on ways that colorblind etiquette prevented her from seeing her Black students and colleagues. The author employs deeply personal narrative to demonstrate the pivotal nature of individual reflection for White educators seeking to address educational inequities in their institutions and their individual practice.
摘要:这篇批判性的反思性文章突出了一位白人女性不断努力超越绩效平等工作的三个重要时刻。通过这种叙述,作者揭示了白人的潜规则,这些潜规则限制了她与种族的接触,反思了无视肤色的礼仪如何阻止她看到她的黑人学生和同事。作者运用深刻的个人叙事来展示个人反思的关键性质,白人教育工作者寻求解决他们的机构和个人实践中的教育不平等。

ABSTRACT This study aims to find the potential relationship between emotioncy (sense-induced emotions), reading strategy use, and reading comprehension test performance among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. To this end, 514 intermediate and upper-intermediate EFL learners were asked to complete a 30-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test along with the emotioncy scale and a standardized reading strategies questionnaire. Fitted regression models, a t-test, and a Mann-Whitney U test were utilized to analyze the data. The findings showed that higher levels of emotioncy may lead to higher scores in a reading comprehension test. Moreover, the learners who had higher levels of emotioncy employed more cognitive and metacognitive reading comprehension strategies and all their related sub-scales. Finally, the results revealed that the emotioncy level is a stronger predictor of reading comprehension success compared to the reading strategies employed by EFL learners. In the end, the findings were discussed in the context of language education and implications were provided.
摘要本研究旨在探讨英语学习者的情绪(感觉诱发情绪)、阅读策略使用和阅读理解测试成绩之间的潜在关系。为此,本研究要求514名中高级英语学习者完成30项多项选择阅读理解测试、情绪量表和标准化阅读策略问卷。采用拟合回归模型、t检验和Mann-Whitney U检验对数据进行分析。研究结果表明,情绪水平越高,在阅读理解测试中得分越高。此外,情绪水平较高的学习者使用更多的认知和元认知阅读理解策略及其所有相关子量表。最后,研究结果显示,情绪水平对英语学习者的阅读理解成功有较强的预测作用。最后,本文在语言教育的背景下对研究结果进行了讨论,并提出了启示。

Improving Second Language Acquisition by Extensive and Analytical Reading in a Digital Environment 数字环境下通过泛读和分析性阅读提高第二语言习得
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-06-17 DOI: 10.1080/10790195.2022.2084798

ABSTRACT The premise of this research is that analytical and extensive reading in a digital environment might be used to facilitate second language acquisition at the tertiary education level. Despite the general orientation toward communicative methods in modern second language acquisition, reading methods and techniques have seen an unexpected yet very productive comeback in recent years. A regression analysis of the data gathered from three focus groups of learners (2018–2020) at an institution of higher education in Russia suggests that analytical and extensive reading (based on Adler’s method) may be associated with relatively better performance in reading tasks of all types of Cambridge Assessment certifications. The inference should be drawn that limited exposure to analytical and extensive reading of the original works of literature by three focus groups during the second and the third years of study may facilitate the preparation for the Reading and the Use of English/Reading sections of CAE, CPE, and IELTS Academic. The results suggest that reading plans and book profile creation activities, as well as extensive and analytical reading practice in a digital environment, may be used as relatively effective tools of second language acquisition.
本研究的前提是,数字环境下的分析性阅读和泛读可能有助于高等教育阶段的第二语言习得。尽管交际法是现代第二语言习得的普遍趋势,但阅读方法和技巧近年来出现了意想不到的、卓有成效的回归。对俄罗斯一所高等教育机构的三个重点学习者小组(2018-2020年)收集的数据进行回归分析表明,分析性阅读和泛读(基于阿德勒的方法)可能与所有类型的剑桥评估认证的阅读任务中相对较好的表现有关。我们应该得出结论,在第二和第三年的学习中,通过三个焦点小组有限地接触原始文学作品的分析和广泛阅读,可能有助于为CAE, CPE和雅思学术考试的阅读和英语应用/阅读部分做准备。研究结果表明,数字环境下的阅读计划和书籍简介创建活动以及广泛的分析性阅读练习可以作为第二语言习得的相对有效的工具。

ABSTRACT Reading comprehension assessments are used for postsecondary course placement and advising, and they are components of college entrance exams. Therefore, a quantitative understanding of the relationship between reading comprehension assessments and postsecondary academic achievement is needed. To address this need, we conducted a meta-analysis to examine how well performance on college reading assessments (e.g., ACT, COMPASS, Nelson-Denny, SAT) correlated with academic achievement (GPA and college grades). Additionally, to help explain the variation in previous findings, we examined whether the type of reading assessment used, performance indicator, publication bias, or year of publication served as moderators. Results based on 26 studies and a total of 25,090 students revealed a small association between performance on reading comprehension assessments and college grades (r = .29, SE = .02, 95% CI [.25, .33], p < .001), with no variation based on study moderators. These findings highlight the importance of college students’ reading comprehension skills for college academic achievement.
阅读理解评估用于高等教育课程安排和建议,它们是大学入学考试的组成部分。因此,有必要定量了解阅读理解评估与高等教育学业成绩之间的关系。为了解决这一需求,我们进行了一项荟萃分析,以检查大学阅读评估(例如ACT, COMPASS, Nelson-Denny, SAT)的表现与学业成就(GPA和大学成绩)的相关性。此外,为了帮助解释先前研究结果的差异,我们检查了所使用的阅读评估类型、绩效指标、出版偏倚或出版年份是否起调节作用。基于26项研究和总共25,090名学生的结果显示,阅读理解评估的表现与大学成绩之间存在很小的关联(r = 0.29, SE = 0.02, 95% CI)。[25, .33], p < .001]),没有基于研究调节因子的变化。这些发现强调了大学生阅读理解能力对大学学业成绩的重要性。

ABSTRACT Guided reading questions (GRQs) are a formative assessment activity to facilitate student learning. We conducted four experiments to test if GRQs improved student performance on evaluative assessments. Experiment 1 compared test scores between classes that received GRQs or not. Experiment 2 modeled the impact of multiple formative assessments, including GRQs, on evaluative assessments. Experiment 3 examined how optional GRQs impacted quiz scores. Experiment 4 compared test performance between mandatory or optional GRQs. The overall results found weak evidence for the benefits of GRQs, but significant associations between GRQ and evaluative assessment scores. GRQ scores may better indicate a student’s academic habits than provide a unique intervention. Graded GRQs may provide external motivation for textbook reading and access to weekly continuous assessment activity provides benefits for most students.
导读题(grq)是一种促进学生学习的形成性评价活动。我们进行了四个实验来测试GRQs是否能提高学生在评估性评估中的表现。实验1比较了获得GRQs和未获得GRQs的班级之间的考试成绩。实验2模拟了包括grq在内的多种形成性评估对评价性评估的影响。实验3检验了可选grq对测验成绩的影响。实验4比较了强制性和可选grq之间的测试性能。总体结果发现,GRQ的益处证据不足,但GRQ与评估性评估分数之间存在显著关联。GRQ分数可能更好地表明学生的学习习惯,而不是提供一种独特的干预。分级grq可以为阅读教科书提供外部动力,每周连续的评估活动对大多数学生都有好处。

ABSTRACT We compared the effectiveness of a “Study Smarter, Not Harder” presentation to spending an equivalent amount of time reading an article: “Optimizing Learning in College.” One-hundred-sixty undergraduate students participated. The presentation and article yielded comparable ratings of study tip effectiveness, helpfulness, and usage. Article readers better discriminated between effective versus ineffective and helpful versus unhelpful strategies. Presentation attendees increased their use of all study strategies, whereas article readers only increased their use of recommended study tips. Results highlight advantages of reading the article over attending this presentation and suggest ways to more effectively teach students to study smarter, not harder.
摘要:我们比较了“更聪明,而不是更难学习”演讲与花同等时间阅读一篇文章《优化大学学习》的有效性。160名本科生参加了此次演讲。该报告和文章对学习技巧的有效性、有用性和使用率进行了可比的评分。文章读者可以更好地区分有效策略与无效策略以及有益策略与无益策略。演讲参与者增加了对所有学习策略的使用,而文章读者只增加了对推荐学习技巧的使用。研究结果突出了阅读这篇文章比参加这次演讲的优势,并提出了更有效地教学生更聪明而不是更努力学习的方法。

ABSTRACT Undergraduate retention and persistence are richly discussed topics in higher education, and deservedly so. One specific area of study is how to increase four- and six-year graduation rates, and the usage of learning analytics to determine student pathways of success. At a flagship Midwestern US university, we studied at-risk populations (specifically, students on or near academic probation) who were enrolled in an academic coaching course. The course focused on identifying self-sabotaging academic habits, learning proven study and time management skills, and working weekly with a personal peer academic coach. These undergraduate peer coaches were specially trained to support the enrolled students by helping to set weekly, specific goals, connecting with campus resources, and discussing the complexities of undergraduate life. We used Qualtrics surveys to determine the impression that enrolled students have of the experience, and found it was overwhelmingly positive. We also used a comparison analytical method to determine whether the class had a significant impact on the enrolled students. We found that there is a small and not significant GPA improvement for enrolled students, and a significant improvement in retention for one and two semesters after taking the course.
大学生的留校和留校一直是高等教育中备受关注的话题。一个具体的研究领域是如何提高四年和六年的毕业率,以及使用学习分析来确定学生的成功之路。在美国中西部的一所旗舰大学,我们研究了参加学术辅导课程的高危人群(特别是正在或接近留校察看的学生)。该课程侧重于识别自我破坏的学习习惯,学习经过验证的学习和时间管理技巧,以及每周与个人同行学术教练一起工作。这些大学生同伴教练经过专门培训,通过帮助学生设定每周的具体目标,联系校园资源,讨论本科生活的复杂性来支持入学的学生。我们使用Qualtrics调查来确定入学学生对这段经历的印象,发现绝大多数都是积极的。我们还采用比较分析法来确定班级是否对入学学生有显著影响。我们发现,入学学生的GPA有一个小而不显著的提高,并且在学习课程后的一学期和两个学期的保留率有显著提高。

ABSTRACT Research suggests that students need authenticity by welcoming their stories, even causing tension and discomfort with complex topics, encouraging discussion, and questioning. Our study explores undergraduates’ open-ended reflections on using young adult literature to challenge dominant, deficit perspectives about themselves and others, which is not yet the norm but more common in high school settings. We explored how students questioned their implicit biases and assumptions toward a more critically aware identity through a holistic qualitative case study. Our analysis of students’ open-ended reflections produced three major themes: (a) Importance of Diverse Books and Analysis; (b) Books as an Impetus for a Change in Thinking and Awareness of Self; and (c) Lingering Tensions and Ongoing Resistance. Although many students expressed a change in thinking, there were still instances that reflected resistance.
摘要研究表明,学生需要真实性,欢迎他们的故事,甚至在复杂的话题中引起紧张和不适,鼓励讨论和提问。我们的研究探讨了本科生对使用青年文学来挑战对自己和他人的主导、不足的观点的开放式思考,这还不是常态,但在高中环境中更为常见。我们通过一项全面的定性案例研究,探讨了学生如何质疑他们对更具批判性意识的身份的隐性偏见和假设。我们对学生开放式思考的分析产生了三个主要主题:(a)多样化书籍和分析的重要性;(b) 书籍是改变思维和自我意识的动力;(c)持续的紧张局势和持续的抵抗。尽管许多学生表达了思想上的改变,但仍有一些例子反映了抵制。

ABSTRACT This study investigated whether reading comprehension would differ when the texts are studied and tested on screen or on paper. Participants were 69 college students who were attending a college in midwestern United States. Participants read two expository texts each, under comparable paper and screen conditions and answered comprehension questions. Test forms and the order of the conditions were counterbalanced. The correlations between reading outcomes and reader characteristics were examined. Participants also completed a survey on their views on the two media (paper or screen). The results did not indicate a significant difference on students’ reading comprehension as a function of medium and reader characteristics. However, students reported preferring paper-based reading for complex material.
摘要本研究探讨了阅读理解在屏幕阅读和纸上阅读时是否存在差异。参与者是69名在美国中西部一所大学就读的大学生。参与者在同等的纸张和屏幕条件下分别阅读两篇说明性文章,并回答理解性问题。测试形式和条件的顺序是平衡的。研究了阅读结果与读者特征之间的相关性。参与者还完成了一项关于他们对两种媒体(纸媒或屏幕)的看法的调查。结果显示,学生的阅读理解在媒介和读者特征的作用下没有显著差异。然而,学生们报告说,对于复杂的材料,他们更喜欢纸质阅读。
