Relationships between Task Awareness, Strategy Use and Literacy Outcomes

EasyChair Preprint no. 3866

Abstract

Readers’ understanding of a task guides processing decisions during reading, and higher task awareness should correlate with better task performance. Task awareness arises from a reader’s task model, but what supports task model construction? Strategies that support comprehension (paraphrasing, bridging and elaborative inferences) may influence performance indirectly by supporting task model construction. The goal of this study was to explore the hypothesis that task awareness partially mediates the relationship between comprehension strategies and literacy outcomes.

Keyphrases: Comprehension Strategies, Task Awareness, task-oriented reading
