A Comprehensive Study Strategy Using Student Writing as a Means of Learning Content Area Concepts: Study II. College Reading and Learning Assistance Technical Report No. 89-01.
Simpson, Michele L.; And Others
To determine whether college students trained in the independent study strategy PORPE ("Predict, Organize, Rehearse, Practice, Evaluate"), could perform as well as other students trained to create and rehearse their own textually explicit and implicit test questions, a study compared performances on immediate and delayed multiple choice and essay exams, both dichotomously and holistically scored. Subjects were 48 college freshmen enrolled in developmental reading/study strategy courses at two state universities. Results indicated that PORPE appears to offer content area instructors a comprehensive strategy which can help their students prepare for multiple choice and essay exams, a strategy which holds considerable promise for high risk students. These results generally corroborate those of the first study in demonstrating that PORPE is a comprehensive study strategy system which can facilitate student learning of psychology concepts, regardless of whether they are presented in recognition or recall formats. (One figure is included and 5 tables of data and 24 references are attached, as well as a master list of college reading and learning assistance technical reports.) (SR)
