The Computer as a Zone of Proximal Development: Internalizing Reading-Related Metacognitions from a Reading Partner.
Salomon, Gavriel; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v81 n4 p620-27 Dec 1989
This study tested the hypothesis that effortful interaction with a computer tool that provides reading-related guided interaction on a meta-cognitive level results in the internalization of the guidance and later improved reading comprehension. Results with 25 seventh graders in Tel Aviv using a specially designed tool--the Reading Partner--support the hypothesis. (SLD)
