- PublicationOpen AccessEstrategias para mejorar la comprensión de textos comparativos(2003-01-01) Montanero Fernández, Manuel; González Ponte, LourdesIn this work, we have compared the efficiency of two educational intervention approaches concerning their capability to improve the comprehension and recall of comparative texts in History. The experiment included 62 subjects, from among 15 and 16 years old, belonging to two experimental groups and one control group of Secondary Education. The results showed the weakness of the instruction of study techniques designed toward the extraction of main ideas from the text. On the contrary, the alternative intervention, focused on structural strategies, produced clear improvements in comprehension, reasoning and verbal expression capacities of the subjects.
