Disabilities in The current study examined the influence of using a set of reading comprehension strategies, Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR;
Upper Klingner, Vaughn, Boardman, & Swanson, 2012) in fourth- and fifth-grade classrooms compared to a business-as-usual comparison
Elementary group who used their typical instructional strategies. Another key limitation of this study is that the findings showed no main effect
Classroom whereas an interaction effect was detected. In the absence of a main effect, more credence is typically given to positive subgroup
findings when the estimated full sample effect is positive and statistically significant.
team-based learning has been examined in social studies classes as a means of enhancing outcomes and might be a valuable way of
adjusting CSR.
Addressing the influence of teachers’ text selection within reading comprehension strategies instruction could also provide useful
information to educators.
3. Identify the specific question
What is the efficacy of CSR on the reading comprehension of fourth- and fifth-grade students in general education
classrooms compared with students in a comparison group?
What is the efficacy of CSR taught in general education classrooms for a subgroup of students with learning
disabilities?
How does fidelity to the CSR model distinguish instruction between CSR and comparison classrooms?
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).

Collaborative Strategic 1. Identify the big question
Reading with The present study was an attempt to probe into the feasibility and effectiveness of a reading instructional approach
University EFL called MCSR modified collaborative strategy reading
Learners 2. Summarize the background in five sentences or less
The research developed reading comprehension test was group administered at pre test and post test. Upon completion
of the study, students perceptions regarding MCSR were also evaluated by mean ofan opinionnaires.
3. Identify the specific question
Will students who are taught on the basic of MCSR demonstrate gains in reading comprehension
performance, as measured by the researcher-developed reading comprehension test?
How do the EFL students respond to MCSR an instructional practice which is a combination of reading
strategy instruction and cooperative learning?
4. Identify the approach
Research collected qualitative information to complement quantitative data. It this study the researcher employed a
significantly modified form of CSR called MCSR
5. Read the methods section
6. Read the results section
In this study we provided the reading program of MCSR to university level EFL students in order to investigate
students responses to this particular technique with regard to gains that they made on a researcher developed reading
comprehension test.
7. Determine whether the results answer the specific questions
The research can provide a rich understanding of MCSR assuredly views as an effective, responsive, educational tool
at the tertiary level for EFL learners.
On the reading comprehension outcomes of students in English/Language Arts (ELA) or Reading classes. Eligible
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
personnel on a yearly basis.
