독자의 읽기 중 딴생각(Mind Wandering)유발 요인 분석

Abstract

This study aims to derive MW triggers that occur in the reading process and to seek educational implications for readers’ flow in reading. The results of this study largely derived three categories of MW triggers, the number of MW occurrences by time zone, and the reader’s emotional state after MW occurrence. First, looking at the three categories of MW triggers, the first is ‘Internally Directed MW induced inside the reader’. This trigger was explained by thoughts toward the reader’s inner self unrelated to text or task performance. The second is ‘Task-Related MW’. This trigger refers to cases in which the task is overly conscious of the task performance or deviates from the performance context due to the influence of the surrounding environment. The third is ‘MW Triggered by Text’. This trigger included thoughts triggered by words, characters, and illustrations presented in the text. Next, as a result of analyzing the number of occurrences of MW by time zone, it was also revealed that students were not able to read continuously. Finally, as a result of confirming readers’ emotions after MW occurred, 37% of the study subjects complained of negative emotions. As the habit of continuously reading silently without the occurrence of MW has a positive effect on reading motivation and efficacy, it will be necessary to adhere to MW and immersive reading.
