Teaching Strategy Sameness Using Integrated Formats

Strategy‐training related to children's text production

“…Some recent research has taken interest in how efficient strategies can be taught to learners (Ellis, 1993;Leino et al, 1989;Pressley & Beard El-Dinary, 1993). As learning is assumed to be an active process within learners, it follows that they are able to control central aspects of the process (Brown & Pressley, 1994), i.e., learning is dependent on target information, and how the learner processes it.…”

“…Consequently, a number of interventions have been developed that concentrate on teaching students strategies that they can use more or less independently to facilitate learning and performance. An important element of such interventions is the enabling of students to become self-regulated learners (Ellis, 1993;Graham & Harris, 1993) which means that training on strategies is based on cybernetic or information processing theories. Graham & Harris's model of process approach for developing writing and self-regulation strategies (1 993) was thus considered as an…”

“…Some of the main points of Ellis's model of an 1SI-programme (Integrative Strategy Instruction) were chosen as guidelines for the reported strategy training study (Ellis, 1993). In each of the six training sessions students were given short instructions for training on target strategies.…”
