An evaluation and critique of a middle school reading program: A case study
|

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine and improve the reading program at Hutto Middle School in Decatur County, Georgia. Answers were sought to six research questions: (1) Are instructional practices that increase comprehension evident? (2) Are characteristics of successful programs present? (3) Are teacher-made reading assessments valid for measuring comprehension? (4) Do students have favorable attitudes toward reading? (5) Are students applying skills learned in reading class to other courses? and (6) Has reading comprehension improved since the introduction of the literature-based program? This was accomplished by critiquing the program based on current theories and research, by measuring student attitude toward reading, and by monitoring reading achievement using the Degrees of Reading Power and the reading subtest of the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. ; The procedure used was the single site case study approach. Decision Oriented Educational Research (DOER) (Cooley & Bickel, 1986) was the quantitative method selected. Given that the intention of the research was to improve the reading program, the researcher directly and quite intentionally affected the program. Strategies were used to control for researcher bias and to increase credibility of findings. ; Findings, conclusions and recommendations were that teachers at Hutto utilized instructional practices known to increase comprehension with additional emphasis needed on metacognitive strategy use. Characteristics of successful programs, as noted in the literature, were present. Although the majority of teacher-made tests for measuring comprehension were valid, specific weaknesses were found and use of alternative authentic measures was recommended. Data on student attitude supported a meaningful increase in favorable attitudes toward reading. Although data from the DRP was less clear, analysis indicated that reading comprehension had improved for many students. The students of Teacher A made more progress than the students of Teacher B on four of six comparisons, with the greatest gains posted by the lowest ability group and by female students. Recommendations were made for further investigation to determine why some groups were outperforming others. ; Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 54-12, Section: A, page: 4312. ; Major Professor: Robert Stakenas. ; Thesis (Ed.D.)--The Florida State University, 1993.
