Abstract:
Cunningham, Stanovich, and Wilson (1990) tested college students and concluded from their 22 measures that three factors were needed to explain individual differences in reading ability; one of these factors was called Word Recognition. Their data have been reanalyzed to determine whether there is any support for the three individual difference factors advanced in rauding theory—called rauding accuracy level (AL), rauding rate level (RL), and rauding efficiency level (EL). A factor analysis of their nine variables that measured reading ability yielded two factors; one was readily identified as AL because its highest loadings were on vocabulary and listening tests, and the other was readily identified as RL because its highest loadings were on measures of reading rate. When a single factor fit was forced upon these data, the resulting factor was readily identified as EL because the highest loadings were on measures of general reading ability such as reading comprehension and efficiency. It appears that individual differences in almost all measures of reading ability can be explained by regarding AL and RL as correlated subfactors of general reading ability, EL. The Word Recognition factor found by Cunningham et al. appears to be a rate factor, called rauding rate level, RL.

Abstract:
Readability of visual units is not only identification of single letters.The success in reading of a text is result of the interaction between different factors.A one of the most important being phonological structure of sequence. The research is done on the sample of 395 primary schoolchildren, divided in to three age groups. There are no differences in success of reading of Cyrillic and Latin text for most of the variables which measured success in reading. The readers who don?t have greater difficulties in reading, use Cyrillic equally well as and Latin alphabet. Moreover, greater practice in uses of one alphabet is not a deciding factor. Differences in uses of one alphabet or the other are notified with inferior readers and are more emphatic in the beginning phases of the development of the reading and writing skill.

Abstract:
Forty-five randomly selected and assigned college freshmen participated in this study designed to compare three text study strategies for their relative effectiveness (comprehension), efficiency (time), and level of awareness (confidence). The three study strategies of 1) Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R), 2) Question, Read, Recite (QRR) with emphasis on text structure and main idea student-generated questions, and 3) Question, Read, Question-Product (QRQ-P), designed to develop greater metacognitive awareness of the user, were compared on three criterion measures of comprehension accuracy, time to study, and confidence in answering test questions. Using multivariate analysis of covariance with reading ability as the covariate, the results favored the metacognitive QRQ-P study strategy over the SQ3R in comprehension accuracy (effectiveness), but not over the QRR. Significant differences in time to study (efficiency) were revealed in favor of QRR and SQ3R over QRQ-P. No statistically significant differences were found in confidence (level of awareness) among the three treatments. The QRQ-P was, therefore, the most effective, and QRR the most efficient; however, interpretation of the overall results favored QRR as both the most effective and efficient, since no significant differences existed between the QRR and the QRQ-P in effectiveness and since student response was more favorable toward the QRR.

Abstract:
I denna kunskapsöversikt har vi undersökt vilka möjligheter och hinder som finns med läsläxa. Läsläxor tycks vara ett självklart verktyg att använda sig av i undervisningen för att främja goda akademiska resultat samtidigt som effekten av dem och rättvisan med läxor diskuterats friskt i samhället och media under de senaste åren. För att undersöka hur möjligheter och hinder med användandet av läsläxa skrivs fram i befintlig forskning skapade vi söksträngar baserade på ord vi ansåg vara relevanta för vår frågeställning. Då sökningen inte gav några relevanta träffar på svenska i den svenska databasen SwePub använde vi oss därefter uteslutande av engelska översättningar av orden i våra söksträngar och enbart av databasen ERIC. Totalt har nio forskningsartiklar valts ut i sökningen som relevant forskning för att besvara vår frågeställning, i vilka tre teman kunde urskiljas. För att kunna urskilja dessa teman har vi använt oss av tematisk analysmetod i enlighet med beskrivningen av Braun och Clarke (2008), där vi genom kodning har hittat återkommande nyckelord i artiklarna för att se likheter och mönster. Resultaten är något motstridiga men mycket tyder på att läsläxa har relativt liten akademisk effekt. Dock visar forskningen även att läsläxan kan ha en positiv effekt på både elevers läslust och motivation. Resultaten lyfter också betydelsen av rätt slags stöd från vuxna i elevernas omgivning. Med rätt stöd i detta avseende menas att barnen får hjälp med struktur och uppmuntran samt att förväntansbilden av dem är hög men rimlig. Kontroll, strikta krav, icke-engagemang och orimliga förväntningar har däremot motsatt effekt. I diskussionen lyfter vi frågan om hur läsning kan få mer utrymme i undervisningen i skolan för att eventuellt undvika just fenomenet läsläxa. Vi diskuterar även den demokratiska aspekten kring användandet av läsläxa och huruvida det verkligen är rättvist att använda det som ett verktyg i undervisningen. Vidare lyfter vi de uppfattningar vi fått kring stöttning om läsläxor delas ut till barnen och avslutar med tankar och förslag kring framtida forskning. Vi berör återkommande även hur det påverkar läraryrket om man väljer att ge läsläxa.

Abstract:
Repeated reading has been used for over 30 years. In the publication of the National Reading Panel Report, repeated reading was listed as an effective strategy for developing fluency. Yet, repeated reading’s efficacy has been recently questioned. Understanding the “how-to” of efficiently using evidence-based practices would allow teachers to deliver successful, time-sensitive instruction and intervention to students. This study was based on two research questions. First was a gain score (increase between a student’s first read and their final repeated reading), a better model and therefore a better criterion than the currently popular criterion of reaching a set words-read-correctly-perminute (WRCM) hot read, such as Samuels’ criterion of 95 WRCM. The study’s second question was exploring which demographic variables, such as age, ethnicity, gender, current reading ability, and socioeconomic status (SES), played a significant role in predicting the effectiveness of using weekly repeated reading scores as a predictor of benchmark reading measures at midyear and end-of-year outcome measures. The study used a unique theoretical multilevel path model to explore repeated reading. A complex model was developed to study (a) the growth of a student’s ability to read words with speed and accuracy and (b) how student demographic features affect growth rates. It was found that a hot read advancement criterion provided a better model fit than the hypothesized advancement criterion of a student’s increase or gain between cold and hot reads. Student growth during repeated reading was found to be constant once a minimum WRCM criterion was reached. While repeated reading was shown to be a strategy that worked equally well for all students, the strategy was shown to be highlyeffective for English-language learners and showed promise in helping to closing the achievement gap. Limitations were discussed and recommendations provided.

Abstract:
AbstractMany individuals with visual impairments have residual vision that often remains underused by assistive technologies. Head-mounted augmented reality (AR) devices can provide assistance, by recoding difficult-to-perceive information into a visual format that is more accessible. Here, we evaluate symbolic and alphanumeric information representations for their efficiency and usability in two prototypical AR applications: namely, recognizing facial expressions of conversational partners and reading the time. We find that while AR provides a general benefit, the complexity of the visual representations has to be matched to the user’s visual acuity.

Abstract:
It is readily apparent to everyone that there are multiple and serious concerns that face Muslim societies today. Terrorism, civil strife, poverty, illiteracy, factionalism, gender injustices and poor healthcare are just a few of the challenges to governance across the Muslim world. These are core issues for governance and public administration in any form of government. However, before we can engage with good governance within the context of Islam, we need to be clear what mean by good governance itself. A simple definition of good governance is that of an institutionalised competency of administration and institution leading to efficient resource allocation and management[1]. Another way of looking at it is as a system which is defined by the existence of efficient and accountable institutions[2]. Civil society now tends to look at good governance by way of impact measurement and how a certain set of processes result in a set of measurable and desirable outcomes.

Empowering the Indiana Bridge Inventory Database Toward Rapid Seismic Vulnerability Assessment. Purdue University, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5703/1288284317282.

Full text
Abstract:
With the recent identification of the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone in addition to the New Madrid Seismic Zone, Indiana’s Department of Transportation (INDOT) has become concerned with ensuring the adequate seismic performance of their bridge network. While INDOT made an effort to reduce the seismic vulnerability of newly-constructed bridges, many less recent bridges still have the potential for vulnerability. Analyzing these bridges’ seismic vulnerability is a vital task. However, developing a detailed dynamic model for every bridge in the state using information from structural drawings is rather tedious and time-consuming. In this study, we develop a simplified dynamic assessment procedure using readily-available information from INDOT’s Bridge Asset Management Program (BIAS), to rapidly identify vulnerable bridges throughout the state. Eight additional data items are recommended to be added into BIAS to support the procedure. The procedure is applied in the Excel file to create a tool, which is able to automatically implement the simplified bridge seismic analysis procedure. The simplified dynamic assessment procedure and the Excel tool enable INDOT to perform seismic vulnerability assessment and identify bridges more frequently. INDOT can prioritize these bridges for seismic retrofits and efficiently ensure the adequate seismic performance of their assets.
