Constructing different reading models for enhancing reading comprehension in adults
Abstract
Text comprehension is the construction of meaning of and from the words and phrases in written material. It is the reader’s construction of an understanding of the relationship between the information in the text and what the reader already knows. Factors that influence text comprehension concerning both the text attributes (type, size, consistency) and the characteristics of the individual, such as previous knowledge, individual differences in cognition, motivation and metacognitive monitoring and control skills. Comprehension monitoring mirrors an individual’s ability to judge one’s cognitive performance while informs the learner about her or his learning progress. Accurate monitoring plays a key role in the reading process, because it triggers the onset of cognitive processing of the material and regulates the engagement time with it, contributing to the self-regulation of reading. A lot of emphasis has been put on examining comprehension monitoring in adults, mainly students. This review attempts to present and interpret different research patterns aiming to improve comprehension monitoring accuracy.
