Academic personal initiative (API) has rarely been studied with regard to literacy development. The purpose of this longitudinal study was therefore to examine the unique effects of API on the development of word comprehension as an indicator of word reading. To this end, the effects of previous word comprehension, intrinsic reading motivation, and basic cognitive ability (i.e., processing speed) were controlled for. A total of 1,515 German students participated in a longitudinal assessment starting in Grades 1 to 3, with a second point of measurement nine months later. Latent change score analyses revealed positive associations between API and gains in word comprehension, both in the total sample and at all grade levels. These relations were robust against the effects of previous word comprehension and intrinsic reading motivation. The findings suggest that children play an active role in their own reading development. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
There is broad agreement among researchers to view mind wandering as an obstacle to learning because it draws attention away from learning tasks. Accordingly, empirical findings revealed negative correlations between the frequency of mind wandering during learning and various kinds of learning outcomes (e.g., text retention). However, a few studies have indicated positive effects of mind wandering on creativity in real-world learning environments. The present article reviews these studies and highlights potential benefits of mind wandering for learning mediated through creative processes. Furthermore, we propose various ways to promote useful mind wandering and, at the same time, minimize its negative impact on learning.
This study addressed the role of elementary school teachers' classroom management and mastery-oriented instructional practices as mediators of the effects of teacher motivation on student motivation. The sample comprised 110 teacher-class pairs (1731 students). The results from multilevel regression analyses revealed that teacher educational interest contributed to student reports of teachers' instructional practices. These practices, in turn, were significant predictors of students' subject interest and mastery goals at both the student and the class level. Finally, teacher educational interest showed significant and substantial indirect relations to student motivation that were mediated by teachers’ instructional practices.
Grounded in the expectancy-value and hope theories, the present
study was conducted to examine the extent to which self-efficacy,
task value, and academic hope predict persistence among science
teacher-trainees in Uganda. The sample consisted of 278 undergrad-
uate science teacher-trainees selected from a large public university
in northern Uganda. Data were collected using several scales from
the modified Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire,
Academic Hope Scale, and College Persistence Questionnaire and
analyzed using structural equation modeling. Task value and aca-
demic hope significantly predicted students’ persistence. Academic
hope made a greater contribution to students’ persistence compared
to task value. The combined effect of task value and academic hope
did not make any significant contribution to students’ persistence.
The study highlights the need to strengthen students’ hopeful think-
ing and task value in order to increase their chances of completing
their studies. Implications of the study findings for educational practice and for the training of science teacher-trainees are elaborated in the article.
This review of research examines the constructs of reading motivation and synthesizes research findings of the past 20 years on the relationship between reading motivation and reading behavior (amount, strategies, and preferences), and the relationship between reading motivation and reading competence (reading skills and comprehension). In addition, evidence relating to the causal role of motivational factors and to the role of reading behavior as a mediator of the effects of motivation on reading competence is examined. We identify seven genuine dimensions of reading motivation: curiosity, involvement, competition, recognition, grades, compliance, and work avoidance. Evidence for these dimensions comes from both quantitative and qualitative research. Moreover, evidence from previous studies confirms the positive contribution of intrinsic reading motivation, and the relatively small or negative contribution of extrinsic reading motivation, to reading behavior and reading competence. The positive contribution of intrinsic motivation is particularly evident in relation to amount of reading for enjoyment and reading competence and holds even when accounting for relevant control variables. However, the causal role of reading motivation and the mediating role of reading behavior remain largely unresolved issues.
Inspired by the results from the PISA study and based on previous intervention programs, the reading competence training LEKOLEMO (Program for Fostering Reading Literacy and Reading Motivation) for 7th-grade students was developed. The training differs from existing programs in two aspects: (1) It comprises tasks pertaining to the PISA reading dimensions retrieving information, text-related interpretation, and reflection and evaluation, and (2) explicitly aims at fostering reading motivation. The present study examined the revised version of LEKOLEMO in a sample of 235 seventh graders. The results confirmed the effectiveness of LEKOLEMO and showed significant effects of medium size on reading competence at the follow-up test. However, effects on intrinsic reading motivation and on self-concept of reading were small and unstable.
Reading motivation has been defined consistently as a multidimensional construct. However, there is some disagreement regarding the number and nature of the dimensions of reading motivation. In particular, there is a lack of studies investigating the dimensional structure and measurement invariance (e.g., across gender) of reading motivation questionnaires. Based on earlier instruments, qualitative findings referring to students’ reasons for reading, and theoretical considerations, we developed the Reading Motivation Questionnaire (RMQ). A sample of 883 sixth-grade students was presented with 34 reading motivation items pertaining to seven dimensions. Five of these dimensions (i.e., curiosity, involvement, grades, competition, social recognition) referred to Wigfield and Guthrie's Motivations for Reading Questionnaire, whereas two dimensions (i.e., emotional regulation, relief from boredom) were based on recent qualitative findings. The results from confirmatory factor analyses supported the hypothesized factor structure. In addition, three higher order factors were identified: intrinsic, extrinsic, and regulatory reading motivation. Moreover, strict measurement invariance across female and male students and across groups with low versus high reading competence was established. Construct validity of the RMQ was supported by the contributions of the RMQ factors to reading amount, fluency, and comprehension and by the predicted gender differences in the dimensions of reading motivation.
Diese Studie untersuchte die vermittelnden Prozesse, die den Effekten familiaerer Strukturmerkmale (soziooekonomischer Status, Bildungsniveau, Migrationshintergrund) auf das Lernen eines Textes zugrunde liegen. Es wurde ein Pfadmodell getestet, das familiaere Prozessmerkmale (z.B. Besitz von Kulturguetern) und individuelle Faktoren (z.B. Lesemotiva-tion) als Mediatoren beruecksichtigt. Als Indikator fuer das Textlernen diente die mittels Verifikationstest erfasste situative Textrepraesentation. Das Modell wurde anhand einer Stichprobe von 414 15-jaehrigen Schuelerinnen und Schuelern ueberprueft und weitgehend bestaetigt. Mit wenigen Ausnahmen waren die angenommenen Mediatoren an der Vermittlung familiaerer Einfluesse auf das Textlernen beteiligt. Als besonders einflussreiche Mediatoren erwiesen sich der Besitz von Kulturguetern, die kognitive Grundfaehigkeit, die intrinsische Lesemotivation, das Vorwissen und das metakognitive Strategiewissen.
