Strategy: Graphic Organizer Strategy/group, Graphic Organizer Strategy/individual, SQ3R/individual, Directed Reading/group
Subjects: 84 predominately middle class 6th-graders; social studies classrooms
Results: Use of a graphic organizer strategy in a group social structure is more effective in facilitating comprehension of content area information than a graphic organizer strategy used in an independent structure or a directed reading strategy used in a group structure. Transfer testing revealed that the graphic organizer and the SQ3R strategies were more effective than the directed reading approach. |
