- Summary:
-
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of adjunct aids in the form of questions on ninth graders' comprehension of 3,500-word passages. Specifically, the study focused on the effect on literal comprehension of content and process stimulus questions written at the cognitive levels of memory and evaluation when positioned before and after segments of a passage. Five questions were asked and answered as follows: students' literal comprehension of a passage was not significantly affected by different levels of stimulus questions (memory and evaluation); students' literal comprehension of a passage was not significantly affected by different types of stimulus questions (content and process); students' literal comprehension of a passage was not significantly affected by different positions of stimulus questions (before and after); no interaction effects were found among the three experimental factors; and students' literal comprehension of the passage was not significantly different when students responded to stimulus questions and others did not respond to stimulus questions.
