Index of Science Reading Awareness: An Interactive-Constructive Model, Test Verification, and Grades 4-8 Results.
Yore, Larry D.; Craig, Madge T.; Maguire, Tom O.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v35 n1 p27-51 Jan 1998
This study sought to develop and verify the Index of Science Reading Awareness (ISRA) based on a model of an efficient, successful interactive-constructive science reader and three independent metacognitive awareness domains. Results did not support the assumption about the three independent metacognitive awareness domains and also indicated that students have surface knowledge about science reading, science text, and science-reading strategies.
