Schema Theory's Impact on College Reading

This document discusses how schema theory explains how readers understand and remember text. It states that schema theory describes how a reader's prior knowledge interacts with new information from a text. It also measures reading performance as understanding, using, and reflecting on written texts. The document presents schema theory's three crucial types of schemata for comprehension: linguistic knowledge, script knowledge, and knowledge of text structures. It poses research questions about assessing students' reading comprehension based on these three schemata and determining if there is a relationship between the assessed comprehension and students' actual reading performance level.

Effectiveness of Schema Theory: Its Impact to the Reading

Performance of College Students

Sean Kyle G. Llanes


BSEd 4-English
Motivating Question:

“How can we explain how readers understand and


remember text?”
Schema Theory

Anderson & Pearson (1984) specifies how prior knowledge


(in the reader’s memory) interacts with and shapes
incoming information (from the text) and how this
knowledge must be organized to support this interaction.

Reading Performance

It measures the capacity to understand, use and reflect


on written texts in order to achieve goals, develop
knowledge and potential, and participate in society.
Theoretical Framework

According to Anderson and Pearson, the degree of


comprehension achieved by the reader is greatly
influences by the degree to which the reader’s and the
text’s schemata match. There are three types of schemata
that are crucial for comprehension to take place: (1)
linguistic knowledge; (2) script knowledge; and (3)
knowledge of text structures.
Conceptual Framework

linguistic
knowledge

Schema Reading
script knowledge
Theory Performance

knowledge of text
structure
Statement of the Problems

• How may the reading comprehension skills of the


students be described based on the Schema Theory in
terms of:
• script knowledge
• linguistic knowledge
• knowledge of text structures
• What is the level of the reading comprehension
performance of the students?
• Is there a significant relationship between the
assessed reading performance of the respondents based
on the schema theory and the actual level of reading
performance of the respondents?
