“…It is worth noting that in the study by Salmerón et al (2018), more emphasis was placed on the navigational component of online reading than in the present study. On the other hand, Hahnel, Goldhammer, Kröhne, and Naumann (2018) found that lower level reading skills, namely performance in a sentence verification task, made a unique contribution in addition to reading comprehension when students evaluated search engine web page results. As such, our results suggest that lower level reading skills in early adolescence can contribute to ORC performance.…”

The present study evaluated the extent to which literacy skills (reading fluency, written spelling, and reading comprehension), together with nonverbal reasoning, prior knowledge, and gender, are related to students' online research and comprehension (ORC) performance. The ORC skills of 426 sixth graders were measured using a Finnish adaptation of the Online Research and Comprehension Assessment. Results of a structural equation model showed that these ORC skills were divided into six highly correlated factors, and that they formed a common factor in ORC. Altogether, these predictor variables explained 57% of the variance in ORC. Reading comprehension, along with gender, was the strongest predictor for ORC performance. In addition, reading fluency and written spelling explained ORC variance over and above reading comprehension. These findings suggest that struggling readers probably face difficulties online.

“…It seems justifiable to conclude that time spent on digital reading can be a mixed blessing. Skilled navigation and source evaluation necessarily require good comprehension skills (e.g., Naumann, ) but the evidence suggests an asymmetry in that competent reading of linear printed text is a strong facilitator of competent digital reading but not vice versa (Hahnel, Goldhammer, Kröhne, & Naumann, ; Hahnel, Goldhammer, Naumann, & Kröhne, ; Naumann & Salmerón, ). It is plausible that intensive reading of superficial digital material instead of print reading is likely associated with comprehension problems and may even augment them.…”

Leisure Reading (But Not Any Kind) and Reading Comprehension Support Each Other—A Longitudinal Study Across Grades 1 and 9

University of Jyv€ askyl€ aThis study examines associations between leisure reading and reading skills in data of 2,525 students followed from age 7 to 16. As a step further from traditional cross-lagged analysis, a random intercept crosslagged panel model was used to identify within-person associations of leisure reading (books, magazines, newspapers, and digital reading), reading fluency, and reading comprehension. In Grades 1-3 poorer comprehension and fluency predicted less leisure reading. In later grades more frequent leisure reading, particularly of books, predicted better reading comprehension. Negative associations were found between digital reading and reading skills. The findings specify earlier findings of correlations between individuals by showing that reading comprehension improvement, in particular, is predicted by within-individual increases in book reading.

“…In the research by Hahnel et al [26], both traditional and sustainable search engines were studied to find the factors which influence users' choice of search engines. Liaw and Huang [27] suggested a model to investigate the methods used to find information with search engines and identify how these searches can be made more efficient.…”

Complexity in the Acceptance of Sustainable Search Engines on the Internet: An Analysis of Unobserved Heterogeneity with FIMIX‐PLS

2018

This paper analyses the complexity of user behaviour when facing the challenge of using sustainable applications, such as Internet search engines. This paper analyses an acceptance model using extended TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) with Trust as an added external variable. It was suggested that Trust indirectly influences the final Intention to Use with the perceptions of Utility and Ease of Use. To test the proposed model, a survey was carried out with users from different geographical areas of Spain (n=445). The second aim of this study was to understand the complexity of marketing segmentation by separating the application users into different user groups. Users were grouped by their preference of favorite Internet search engine. Unobserved heterogeneity was studied using FIMIX-PLS, and three different user behaviours with search engines were identified. These corresponded to the number of inhabitants who live in the user area. In this way, the impact that the environment has on user choice, acceptance, and use of this type of sustainable applications was shown. The results were checked using PLS-SEM and showed that the model for the adoption of sustainable search engines is explanatory and predictive because confidence and acceptance for this TAM were validated. The conclusions are interesting for developers of environmentally sustainable and responsible applications which want to coincide with current trends to ensure that users prefer them.
