 CSR was more effective than SHR at both proficiency levels.
 Proficiency level had no effects on reading comprehension skill of Iranian EFL learners.
 There was no interaction between reading interventions and proficiency level.

8. Read the conclusion/discussion/interpretation section


The overarching aim of the research reported here was to investigate the effect of various reading interventions (SHR and CSR) on
Iranian EFL learners’ reading comprehension skill across two proficiency levels. To address the objective of the research, a quasi-
experimental study was set out. The results of two-way ANOVA and the Tukey HSD test revealed that the groups receiving CSR
outperformed the SHR groups and control groups. Moreover, SHR groups outperformed the controlgroup as well. However, proficiency
level had no effects on reading comprehension skill of the participants and there was no interaction effect between reading interventions
and proficiency level. This study substantiates the need to extend the view of reading as individual interaction between reader and text to
incorporate the construction of meaning via the collaborative interaction of two or more readers. And It is suggested that CSR and SHR
be utilized as new and helpful strategies and in Iranian context, where cooperation and interaction in learning process are not pursued in
to encourage cooperation among learners.

Addressing the influence of teachers’ text selection within reading comprehension strategies instruction could also provide useful
information to educators.

 How does fidelity to the CSR model distinguish instruction between CSR and comparison classrooms?

4. Identify the approach


Teachers participated in one full day of CSR professional development that included the rationale for implementing strategy instruction,
how to teach the CSR strategies, methods for supporting discussion in student-led groups, and how to introduce CSR to students.
Professional development included modeling and opportunities for teachers to practice and to plan how to integrate CSR into existing
practices.

Maintaining the same standard score on the GMRT from fall to winter represents average growth in reading over that time period
(MacGinitie et al., 2002). Our results show that on average, although students with LD scored lower at pretest and at posttest than
students without LD, the average gains from pretest to posttest for all students were positive. Further, students with LD in CSR
outperformed students with LD in the comparison condition, on average.
7. Determine whether the results answer the specific questions
 Overall, students without LD in both conditions made gains in a short period of time with no statistical difference
between treatment and comparison groups.
 Students without LD appeared to benefit from the instruction they were receiving in their classrooms, regardless of
whether or not CSR was used.
 That incorporates features of effective instruction for students with comprehension difficulties would positively influence
the reading comprehension of students with LD in general education classrooms.

Further, in CSR, students are assigned to heterogeneous small groups, and students in this study were observed working in small groups
more often in CSR classrooms than in comparison classrooms. Within those groups, students are given multiple resources and use

resources that are employed when students share, discuss, and help each other make meaning from text.
The authors suggested several criteria for determining when an effect for a specific subgroup provides strong evidence of an
intervention’s effectiveness, including whether a research design is used that supports valid inferences, if findings are consistent with
prior empirical findings and existing theory, whether results are statistically significant, and if the magnitude in differences is large
enough to be important. The present study include all of these criteria.

findings revealed that when the students were assigned to read the whole textbook passage, they sometimes saw no
need for in-depth discussions as they could easily understand the texts and reduced their contributions to group
discussions once the responsibility for task completion shifted to the presenter. This has implications for the design of
collaborative reading activities. Specifically, teachers may organize tasks in ways that assign responsibility to every
group member, because students are more likely to be deeply engaged in collaboration when given responsibility for
leading the group in turns (Spörer & Schünemann, 2014). For example, engaging students in jigsaw reading (i.e. each
student is responsible for reading a particular section of an academic text and then bridging the information gaps
among members through discussion) may encourage more opinion exchanges within groups
7. Determine whether the results answer the specific questions
this study focused on two five-student groups to provide a ‘thick description’ (Duff, 2008, p. 43) of how they
completed collaborative reading tasks. Audio-recorded group discussions were analysed to explore how strategies
facilitated meaning-making from academic texts.
The course started in Week 1 of a nearly five-month semester.
Reading: Students were asked to preview academic texts (textbook articles) before class and had 5–10 minutes for
individual in-class reading.
Discussion: After reading, they worked in groups for 10 minutes to summarize the texts and formulate an outline.
Presentation: One randomly-selected presenter from each group wrote the outline on the blackboard and gave a 2-
minute, outline-based presentation
8. Read the conclusion/discussion/interpretation section

Through analysing the use of strategies implicit in post-reading group discussions, this qualitative case study has
provided a preliminary understanding of how undergraduate students collaboratively develop their comprehension of
academic texts. The findings indicate that collaborative reading provides rich ideational (Aukerman et al., 2017) and
linguistic resources (Mbirimi-Hungwe, 2021) that facilitate comprehension, compensating for students’ ‘missed
opportunity’ (McGrath et al., 2016, p. 162) to question and build on each other’s interpretations in individual
academic reading. However, it is noteworthy that while students strove for comprehension through collaboration,
they might still need contingent scaffolding from teachers (Reynolds & Daniel, 2018).

3. Identify the specific question
 What are the specific uses of IWB technology during student-driven, collaborative reading groups within a
language arts middle school classroom?
 What is the relationship between IWB use and the type of observed CSR literacy practices among the
students?
 What changes, if any, are observed in the frequency and variety of IWB use during collaborative reading
lessons over the academic school year?

programme to learn how to lead their classes in CSR lessons.
5. Read the methods section
6. Read the results section
Results from our analysis of initial and final coaching observations as well as teacher-reported use of the IWB during
CSR lessons suggest that some teachers exhibited attitudes and perspectives indicative of ‘standing back’ and
‘viewing’ CSR and IWB practices critically in relation to the instructional context (Cope and Kalantzis 2000, p.35). In
this respect, the development of pedagogical knowledge and technological knowledge were inherently entwined;as
these two forms of knowledge grew in tandem, content knowledge was made more visible, and thus accessible to both
teachers and students for critique.
7. Determine whether the results answer the specific questions
Of the 83 total instances of IWB use (i.e. teacher or students explicitly applied some aspect of the IWB during
instruction whether in the form of reference for displayed information or actual annotations) during the reading group
portion of the IVC lessons, student sharing (sending to or annotating the IWB display screen without revisions or
discussions.
Two outcome variables (established outcome scores from the aforementioned IVC instrument) were each regressed on
a single explanatory variable: the total number of instances of collaborative use of the IWB during reading groups.
The sum of all forms of IWB use observed for each recorded lesson (i.e. each coded 1 if present and 0 if not) served as
a proxy for variety in IWB use. For all first lesson observations, the mean score for this composite variable was 1.61
(less than two distinct uses of IWB) while the final observations averaged in 3.06 (more than three distinct uses of
IWB), resulting in a significantly higher difference in variety of IWB use between the beginning and the end of the
year (t = 2.11, p < .05).

Findings from our study suggested that The recent influx of IWBs in schools has outstripped the pace of empirical
investigations and scholarly work aimed to clarify and support the practices and processes for using such technologies,

teachers (12 of 17; others reassigned to teach grades/subjects not eligible for inclusion) in middle schools in Texas and
Colorado who participated in the previous year in a study examining the effects of CSR on the reading comprehension
outcomes of their students participated in a 2ndyear, new cohort of students. Teachers taught multiple sections of ELA
or reading; sections were randomly assigned to a treatment or comparison condition, and any extra classes were
assigned to the treatment condition. There were 26 CSR and 22 comparison classes. Teachers were asked to implement
CSR in their treatment classes only for approximately two 50-min sessions per week for 18 weeks.
there was a combination of teacher attrition and teacher reassignment that made testing the primary question
challenging. Longitudinal studies relying on teacher participation, in which teachers need to stay in the same role for
the study to be successful, are difficult to implement because of the ongoing and considerable changes made in school

8. Read the conclusion/discussion/interpretation section
In this study, we examined the relative effects of CSR implementation by experienced CSR teacher-implementers
(Year 2) who had participated in the treatment the previous year (Year 1). In the Year 1 study, students in the treatment
significantly outperformed typical students on reading comprehension (Vaughn et al., 2011). We hypothesized similar
findings for the Year 2 study; however, this hypothesis was not confirmed with findings revealing no statistically
significant impact for treatment students over typical students. Although the effect size was similar across Years 1 and
2, there were fewer available units (i.e., classes with teachers) for randomization in Year 2 and thus less power. With
respect to our primary research question, whether teachers who were experienced CSR implementers would yield
significantly higher outcomes in reading comprehension for their target students, there is no evidence from this study
to support advantaged outcomes for students from experienced teachers. There are several possible explanations for
this lack of significant effect for Year 2.
