The Effect of Comparative Tests Between Self-questioning Strategy And Cooperative Learning (Group Discussion) on Junior High
School Students' Chinese Reading Comprehension
Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to discuss the effect of comparative tests between self-questioning strategy and cooperative learning (group discussion) on junior high school students' Chinese reading comprehension. The questions explored here were:
1. How did self-questioning strategy influence reading comprehension ability?
2. How did self-questioning strategy and the group discussion of cooperative learning improve and influence reading comprehension ability?
3. How did self-questioning strategy and the group discussion of cooperative learning affect the levels of question types?
The study used experimental research method. The subjects were 50 second grade students of junior high. According to the scores of the prior test on "reading comprehension ability," students were divided into an experimental group and a control group, and each one was composed of 25 students. The instrument was "test of reading comprehension ability," and the information acquired was dealt with statistical testing on the basis of t-test. The results were as followings:
1. After receiving the teaching of "self-questioning strategy," students' reading comprehension abilities were improved.
2. After the students in the experimental group received the co-teaching of self-questioning strategy and the group discussion of cooperative learning, their scores of the posttest on "reading comprehension ability" were superior to the scores of the students in the control group.
3. After the students in the experimental group accepted the co-teaching of self-questioning strategy and the group discussion of cooperative learning, their scores of the posttest on "high-level question type" were superior to the scores of the students in the control group.
Finally the study discussed the above results in more detail, and provided suggestions and references of further research concerning teaching of the reading comprehension.
