All-in op lezen? Een meta-analyse naar de samenhang tussen leeservaring, leesbegrip en leesattitude bij schoolgaande kinderen.

Master thesis | Education and Child Studies (MSc)

In this meta-analysis, research has been integrated to determine the strength of the relationship between print exposure and reading comprehension as well as reading attitude in primary and secondary school students. Furthermore, possible grade-level differences in this relationship were examined. The 26 included studies, which measured print exposure with an author- or title-recognition checklist and reading comprehension and/or reading attitude with various instruments, showed positive, large correlations between print exposure and reading comprehension. Positive, moderate correlations were found between print exposure and reading attitude. The heterogeneity was high in all analyses but could not be explained by the age-groups of the participants. The relationships appeared to be comparable between primary and secondary school students aged 7-16 years. It should be noted that conclusions about the direction of the relationships cannot be indicated.

The relationships appeared to be comparable between primary and secondary school students aged 7-16 years. It should be noted that conclusions about the direction of the relationships cannot be indicated. Further research about this direction would be recommended along with more research including different variables that could explain the heterogeneity. Besides the need for more extensive research about the relationship between print exposure and reading comprehension as well as reading attitude it is clear that stimulating children to read more is helpful.Show less
