Book excerpt: Esta investigación tomó como presupuesto que las actividades de lectura en clase relacionadas con la lectura de material auténtico (ej., artículos de periódicos) pueden ofrecer información importante al investigador en lenguas extranjeras sobre las diferentes estrategias de lectura y habilidades de pensamiento crítico empleadas por los estudiantes. Kelly, Offner & Vorland (2002) consideran que el material auténtico (ej., artículos periodísticos) ofrece tópicos de los cuales los estudiantes muy probablemente ya tienen una información previa, lo que facilita una simultánea aplicación de estrategias de lectura y así mismo, estrategias de pensamiento crítico sobre el texto. Así pues, la Licenciatura en Lengua Inglesa fue el contexto propicio para explorar, a través de una investigación cualitativa, de qué manera tres estudiantes de lengua inglesa interactuaron con artículos de periódico escritos en lengua inglesa cuyo contenido se basaba en temas controversiales. A través de este ejercicio de lectura, se determinaron las estrategias de lectura y habilidades de pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes, además de cómo se manifestaron estas habilidades en su suficiencia lectora. Los hallazgos de esta investigación indicaron que en el caso de los dos participantes con mayor nivel de suficiencia en lengua inglesa, se pudo evidenciar a través de métodos de investigación como entrevistas y lectura en voz alta, que la aplicación colectiva de estrategias de lectura sobre artículos periodísticos en lengua inglesa está estrechamente ligada a la simultánea aplicación de estrategias de pensamiento crítico sobre estos textos, lo que se manifestaba en un alto nivel de suficiencia lectora. Por otra parte, en el caso del participante con menor grado de suficiencia en lengua inglesa, y al parecer con menor grado de conocimiento de estrategias de lectura, se pudo determinar que una aplicación fragmentada de estrategias al leer no permite desarrollar estrategias de pensamiento crítico, lo.

Book Synopsis Critical Thinking Ability and Efl Learners' Reading Comprehension by : Reza Vaseghi
Download or read book Critical Thinking Ability and Efl Learners' Reading Comprehension written by Reza Vaseghi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In EFL contexts, the reading instruction practices do not do much to enhance students' reading comprehension especially at higher levels. The instructional practices prevailing therein emphasize surface-level information processing techniques such as memorization and rehearsal at the expense of deeper processing such as elaboration and critical thinking. Given the importance of reading comprehension abilities and critical thinking skills, it seems to be imperative to raise EFL instructors' awareness concerning the possible relationship between critical thinking and EFL reading comprehension performance. This book provides an investigation of students' critical thinking ability and how they are related to the students' gender and reading scores. From the perspective of professional practice, this study has the potential to make a significant contribution to the field in that it has provided further insights into the relationship between EFL reading comprehension performance and critical thinking. Moreover, EFL instructors can be made conscious of the importance of critical thinking and they could therefore apply its strategies at the EFL reading courses.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Teaching Critical Thinking by : Sara Mashayekh
Download or read book The Effect of Teaching Critical Thinking written by Sara Mashayekh and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching methodology plays a very important role in language learning, and critical teaching, as a method which promotes learners' cognitive ability, has been receiving an increasing attention from researchers in the last two decades. The focus of the present study is to investigate the effect of critical teaching on learners' reading comprehension improvement in an EFL context. This study is adapting the infusion approach to the critical thinking theory. This approach is based on the integration of teaching critical thinking skills into the subject-specific classes (in this case English classes). The findings of the study suggest that critical teaching has a positive effect on both learners' reading comprehension ability and their motivation. The findings are useful to both teachers and learners and could be implemented in teacher training courses, self-learning software, or in computer assisted language learning (CALL).

Book Synopsis Taxonomy for the Technology Domain by :
Download or read book Taxonomy for the Technology Domain written by and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators have come to embrace the classification system for the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains for teaching. However, with the advent of multimedia, interactive, student-focused, instructional technologies, the need to push the envelope of teaching with technology has surfaced a new domain for technology is needed to take advantage of this newest strategy for teaching and learning. Many educators accept teaching with technology as perhaps the most important instructional strategy to impact the classroom since the introduction of the textbook. The Taxonomy for the Technology Domain suggests a new classification system that includes literacy, collaboration, decision-making, infusion, integration, and technology. As with most taxonomies, each step offers a progressively more sophisticated level of complexity by constructing increasingly multifaceted objectives addressing increasingly complex student learning outcomes. The Taxonomy for the Technology Domain affects all aspects of how technology is used in elementary and secondary classrooms, corporate training rooms, and higher education classrooms.

Download or read book Thinking Skills and Creativity in Second Language Education written by Li Li and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the world, education is being restructured to include greater focus on developing critical and creative skills. In second language education, research suggests that cognition and language development are closely related. Yet despite increasing interest in the teaching of thinking skills, critical thinking has not been widely intergrated into language teaching. Thinking Skills and Creativity in Second Language Education presents a range of investigations exploring the relationship between thinking skills and creativity, and second language education. Focusing on cognitive, affective, social, and emotional perspectives, this book highlights current research and raises questions that will set the direction for future research. Its aims are as follows: Provide an in-depth understanding of the link between second language development and thinking skills. Consider approaches to developing thinking skills in second language instruction. Examine practices in implementing thinking skills in second language learning. Offer an updated list of sources of information on thinking skills in second language education. A new addition to the Research on Teaching Thinking and Creativity series, this book is relevant to researchers in the field of educational psychology, to Masters degree and PhD students in this field, and to anyone interested in developing thinking skills.
Book Synopsis Improving Reading Comprehension Through Higher-Order Thinking Skills by : Brigitte A. McKown
Download or read book Improving Reading Comprehension Through Higher-Order Thinking Skills written by Brigitte A. McKown and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This action research project report documents the action research project that was conducted to improve reading comprehension with second grade and third grade students. The teacher researchers intended to improve reading comprehension by using higher-order thinking skills such as predicting, making connections, visualizing, inferring, questioning, and summarizing. In their classrooms the teacher researchers modeled these strategies through the think-aloud process and graphic organizers. This was followed by students using these strategies through whole class, small group, and independent practice. The teacher researchers gathered information prior to implementing the reading strategy interventions. The Metacomprehension Strategy Index indicated a lack of student knowledge of strategies to use before, during, and after reading. The State Snapshot of Early Literacy given to the second grade students identified 9 of the 16 students below target level. The Test Ready Test given to the third grade students indicated 10 of the 17 students were at risk for reading comprehension failure. The information gathered by the teacher researchers after the interventions had been modeled and practiced showed improvement with the second and third grade students. The post-intervention scores for the Metacomprehension Strategy Index showed a significant increase in students' knowledge of the reading comprehension strategies. The State Snapshot of Early Literacy post-intervention scores indicated only 6 of the 16 second grade students remained below target level for reading comprehension. The Test Ready Test given to third graders indicated only 2 of the 16 had post-intervention scores that were at risk for reading comprehension failure. Appended are: (1) Metacomprehension Strategy Index Part I; (2) Metacomprehension Strategy Index Part II; and (3) Metacomprehension Strategy Index Part III. (Contains 11 graphs.)
