Teaching reading literacy through inquiry and information problem solving using the Internet: effects on teaching and learning

ABSTRACT Despite the growing use of the Internet as a source of information for learning, few studies have focused on developing strategies to teach the skills of reflecting on and evaluating the contents and structure of the texts found online. In response to this, we designed and tested a method for teaching reading literacy based on an adaptation of the Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) method, using inquiry-based teaching and information problem-solving on the Internet. The method was evaluated using a pre-experimental design with two experimental groups involving four teachers and 180 seventh-grade students in Chile. The data were collected using a class observation protocol and a set of tests to evaluate the students’ knowledge. The results show that the method is effective in enabling students to develop the skills of evaluating and reflecting on the contents and in improving the quality of teaching.

INCREASING THE STUDENTS’ ABILITY IN READING BY USING CONCEPT ORIENTED READING INSTRUCTION

This study aims to improve students' reading comprehension in narrative texts through the use of concept-oriented reading instruction strategies. The subject of this study was her 8th grade student in his SMA N 1 in 2017. This study of this study was conducted using a classroom behavioral study. The data used in this study is based on pre-test results, interview sheets, and observation sheets to know before and after the test. The study found that the number of students reading narrative texts increased. The pretest average was 39.80. The first cycle average was 87.86, indicating that the first cycle results and averages were superior to the pre-test. The percentage of students who did not score above 75 also increased. Three of her students (11%) passed or scored up to 75 on the pretest. On the Cycle I posttest, 26 of her students (100%) scored 75 or higher, an increase of approximately 89%. In other words, the students' reading comprehension of the narrative texts improved more and more from the first session to the next. The calculated t-test formula was used for hypothesis testing. We found that the observed coefficient t(16.63) > ttable(1.708). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Hα) may be accepted. Based on this finding, the alternative hypothesis (Hα) states that the CORI strategy may improve students' reading comprehension of narrative texts.

Collaboration between Guidance and Counseling Teachers and Indonesian Language Teachers to Improve Reading Motivation of Students through the CORI Program

One of the goals of guidance and counseling in elementary schools is to develop and improve students' academic abilities to achieve maximum learning abilities. Collaborative guidance to increase motivation to read is very rare in schools, especially in elementary schools where class teachers handle many subjects. Guidance services in elementary schools can be integrated into thematic learning activities. The research objective was to determine the effectiveness of collaborative guidance services between Guidance and Counseling teachers and Indonesian Language teachers to increase students' reading motivation. This research uses a quantitative approach with an experimental method with a quasi-experimental research design with the CORI (Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction) program. The results of the study showed that collaborative guidance between counseling teachers and Indonesian teachers was effective in increasing elementary school students' reading motivation. Research is suggested for elementary school guidance and counseling teachers to collaborate with subject teachers as an effort to optimize guidance and counseling services. Indonesian teachers can provide input for guidance and counseling services in the classroom. For future researchers, it can increase reading variety, reading exploration time and the application of collaborative guidance to increase reading motivation.

Effects of Business Reading Model on Thai Learners’ Reading and Creative Thinking Abilities

In second language research, reading has attracted the attention of numerous researchers. However, little has been carried out to investigate effects of a reading instructional model on Thai learners’ business reading and creative thinking abilities. Thus, this study investigates whether a business reading model designed based on Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) and Project-Based Learning (PBL) enhances Thai undergraduates’ reading and creative thinking abilities. The study also investigates what reading strategies the students use frequently to improve their reading abilities. Based on pretest-posttest design, this study measured 35 undergraduates’ reading abilities and strategies through a reading comprehension test. Additionally, a mini project was assigned to gauge the students’ creative thinking abilities following the treatment. The findings demonstrate that the business reading model significantly increased the participants’ reading abilities and helped promote their creative thinking abilities. It is also discovered that the top three reading strategies these students used frequently to increase their reading abilities include finding the main idea, taking notes, and mapping the concept and integrating information. The study concludes by providing useful insights for researchers or educators who are interested in business English reading instruction. Pedagogical recommendations for further studies are also offered in this study.

How Do Perceptions of Importance Support From a Reading Intervention Affect Students' Motivation, Engagement, and Comprehension?

Interventions can enhance students' motivation for reading, but few researchers have assessed the effects of the specific motivation-enhancing practices that comprise these interventions. Even fewer have evaluated how students' perceptions of different intervention practices impact their later motivation and academic outcomes. In this study, we utilized data from a study of Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction, a program designed to enhance seventh-grade students' reading comprehension and motivation. We examined the effects of students perceiving one practice from this intervention, emphasizing the importance of reading, which was designed to enhance their task values for reading (Eccles-Parsons et al, 1983). Unexpectedly, structural equation modeling analyses showed that students' perceptions of importance support predicted their later competence-related beliefs, but not their task values. Students' competence-related beliefs predicted their reading comprehension and behavioral engagement, whereas students' task values predicted reading engagement. However, there were no significant indirect effects of perceiving importance support on students' reading outcomes.

THE EFFECT OF CONCEPT ORIENTED READING INSTRUCTION (CORI) STRATEGY TOWARD STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION

The purpose of this study is to find the effect of CORI (Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction)strategy on students’ reading comprehension.

Effects of Classroom Practices on Reading Comprehension, Engagement, and Motivations for Adolescents.

We investigated the roles of classroom supports for multiple motivations and engagement in students' informational text comprehension, motivation, and engagement. A composite of classroom contextual variables consisting of instructional support for choice, importance, collaboration, and competence, accompanied by cognitive scaffolding for informational text comprehension, was provided in four-week instructional units for 615 grade 7 students. These classroom motivational-engagement supports were implemented within integrated literacy/history instruction in the Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) framework. CORI increased informational text comprehension compared with traditional instruction (TI) in a switching replications experimental design. Students' perceptions of the motivational-engagement supports were associated with increases in students' intrinsic motivation, value, perceived competence, and increased positive engagement (dedication) more markedly in CORI than in TI, according to multiple regression analyses. Results extended the evidence for the effectiveness of CORI to literacy/history subject matter and informational text comprehension among middle school students. The experimental effects in classroom contexts confirmed effects from task-specific, situated experimental studies in the literature.

The Sun, Earth, and Moon: Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction for Grade 3

Modeling the Relationships Among Reading Instruction, Motivation, Engagement, and Achievement for Adolescents.

This study modeled the interrelationships of reading instruction, motivation, engagement, and achievement in two contexts, employing data from 1,159 seventh graders. In the traditional reading/language arts (R/LA) context, all students participated in traditional R/LA instruction. In the intervention R/LA context, 854 students from the full sample received Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) while the remainder continued to receive traditional R/LA. CORI emphasizes support for reading motivation, reading engagement, and cognitive strategies for reading informational text. Seven motivation constructs were included: four motivations that are usually positively associated with achievement (intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, valuing, and prosocial goals) and three motivations that are usually negatively associated with achievement (perceived difficulty, devaluing, and antisocial goals). Reading engagement was also represented by positive and negative constructs, namely dedication to and avoidance of reading. Gender, ethnicity, and income were statistically controlled in all analyses. In the traditional R/LA context, a total network model prevailed, in which motivation was associated with achievement both directly and indirectly through engagement. In contrast, in the intervention R/LA context, a dual-effects model prevailed, in which engagement and achievement were separate outcomes of instruction and motivation. The intervention R/LA context analyses revealed that CORI was associated with positive changes in motivation, engagement, and achievement relative to traditional R/LA instruction. The discussion explains why there were different relations in the two instructional contexts and demonstrates the importance of simultaneously examining both positive (affirming) and negative (undermining) forms of motivation and engagement.
