Comprensión narrativa en preescolares de zonas periféricas de Nicaragua

La comprensión narrativa en la educación preescolar ha sido objeto de varios estudios internacionales que demuestran que constituye un antecesor y un predictor de éxito de la comprensión lectora e identifican las metodologías más efectivas para promoverla. Esta investigación describe cómo se enseña la comprensión narrativa en escuelas periféricas de Nicaragua y explora la efectividad de las metodologías que se ponen en práctica. La investigación fue de tipo exploratoria; tuvo como unidad de análisis a cinco maestras distribuidas en cinco aulas de clases de tercer nivel de preescolar, en las que atienden a niños de entre 5 y 6 años. Se observó la lectura de textos narrativos de tipo cuento en las aulas, se realizaron entrevistas, revisión de planes de clase, análisis del currículo, y se aplicaron dos instrumentos validados en otras investigaciones: un cuestionario de habilidades lectoras para docentes y una prueba de comprensión narrativa para preescolar. Los resultados indican que en estas aulas no se está enseñando explícitamente la comprensión narrativa; las maestras estimulan algunas habilidades, pero los niños y las niñas no logran reconstruir las historias de forma significativa y coherente. En esta investigación se confirma que se desarrollan la lectura en voz alta, las inferencias literales y la interacción docente-estudiante. La predicción, la comprensión del vocabulario y el concepto de impresión son habilidades que no se estimulan en los niños y niñas durante las narraciones orales. Las inferencias causales y socioemocionales son muy limitadas.

INFERENCING FAKE WORDS’ MEANING BY MOROCCAN EFL LEARNERS

Do Moroccan EFL learners depend on the context to infer the meaning of unknown words occurring in sentences?

Effects of Technology-Mediated Vocabulary Intervention for Third-Grade Students with Reading Difficulties

In this experimental study, we examined the effects of a technology-mediated intervention to improve students’ understanding of academic vocabulary and its impact on measures of vocabulary and comprehension. The Vocabulators program was implemented in two states involving 24 teachers and 200 third-grade students identified as in need of supplemental vocabulary instruction. Individual students within each classroom were randomly assigned to treatment (n = 100) or typical instructional practices (n = 100) conditions. In the treatment condition, students received, on average, 29 lessons on vocabulary and comprehension. Results of linear regression analyses showed statistically significant and practical effects on experimenter-developed proximal measures of decoding (ES = 0.52), expressive vocabulary (ES = 0.78), receptive vocabulary (ES = 0.51), and near transfer measures of understanding vocabulary in sentences (ES = 0.65), and informational text comprehension (ES = 0.28).
