Does Combining Study Strategies Support Comprehension on Immediate Tests?

EasyChair Preprint 8498

Abstract

Both online and offline explanation strategies have been shown to support comprehension. However, little work has examined how combining these strategies might help or hinder their effects. This study used a 2(online: think-aloud, self-explain) x 3(offline: reread, free recall, explanatory retrieval) design to examine how different strategies affect science text comprehension. Analyses revealed a main effect of online strategy, but no effect of offline strategy on an immediate comprehension test.

Keyphrases: memory, science comprehension, self-explanation
