An Inquiry Into The Reading Comprehension Strategies Of Good And Poor Readers Through Think-aloud Procedure
Authors : Mebarki Zahia .
Abstract
This article presents a qualitative and quantitative investigation designed to provide a concrete picture of the reading comprehension processes and strategies used by ten students majoring in Microbiology in their academic reading. The subjects' think-aloud reports were collected as evidence of the strategies they used and subsequently analyzed to ascertain whether there were any differences in strategy use between poor and good readers. The study addresses the following questions: (i) What is the relationship between reading performance and the quantity of strategy use? and (ii) What is the relationship between reading performance and the type of strategy use? Findings of this study indicated that good readers used more strategies and had better monitoring of strategy than poor readers. Henceforth, strategy monitoring is significantly related to reading performance in the sense that good readers favoured global processes, i.e., those having to do with background knowledge, inferences, and predictions; whereas, poor readers employed more localized processes, i.e., those having to do with word meaning, and text details.
