  1. Graphic Organizersas a Learning Strategy for Improving Reading Skills By: The Bomb Squad bka Stasi Booth, LaCiana Rozier, John Washatka

  2. Research Status • Definition • Status research supported evidence • Effect size • Conflicting reporting • Pre- vs. post organizers • Vocabulary vs. text structure

  3. Research Plan • Research Problem • Variables • Target Population Sampling Techniques • Threats and Controls • Intervention Fidelity • Reliability and Validity • Methodology • Results

  4. Research Problem • Transferability of graphic organizers to new reading situations.

  5. Variables • IV • Graphic organizer (Cognitive Map) • Expository texts • DV • Assessment of the quality of GO with text A • Assessment of the quality of GO with second text B

  6. Population • Small University School District • 600 students • Stratified random sample • Demographic markers

  7. Threats & Controls • Control for the following threats • Type of graphic organizer • Length of study • Standardized rubric for the measurement of GO

  8. Intervention Fidelity • Intervention • Training of students and instructors on GO methodologies • Provide the same type of GO

  9. Reliability and Validity • Instrument • Use of grading rubric • Same for all instructor • Validity of grading rubric

  10. Data Analysis • Quantitative • Dependent T-test • Measurement of text A rubric compared with the measurement of text B rubric • Same group of students

  11. Expected Results • Transferability of GO to new text • Further studies • Testing for increased reading comprehension • Can we generalize these results to other GOs?
