Students' Strategic Use of Multiple Sources during Expository Text Reading: A Longitudinal Think-Aloud Study.
Stromso, Helge I.; Braten, Ivar; Samuelstuen, Marit S.
Cognition and Instruction, v21 n2 p113-47 2003
Examined how seven Norwegian law students' strategic processing and linking of multiple sources worked together during reading expository texts. Found that students primarily used memorization and organization strategies to process information in the text they were currently reading. They more often used monitoring and elaboration to focus on sources external to the current text. Students focusing organization and elaboration most on text-external sources obtained the highest grades at year-end. (Author/KB)
