Abstract.LEARNING APPROACHES, READING COMPREHENSION AND SELF-REGULATION: THE LATEST FOUNDTwo independent investigation lines, learning approaches and reading comprehension are related to reply to some difficulties that were found in high-school students. This paper attempts to show the findings in the study of the relations between: on one hand, a) reading comprehension (it is a process through students build a mental representation about the information in the text); b) previous knowledge and c) generation of questions; on the other hand, d) learning approaches (how they feel and deal with learning situations); e) self-regulation; f) academic achievement. 1.125 ninth-grade students from 28 schools of the metropolitan area of Granada took part in three studies (two with ex-post-facto design and one with a quasi-experimental design). Results from different studies showed relations between variables. In the conclusion, we indicate the mediator function of the questions and the importance of adopting a broad point of view about the comprehension in texts of sciences. Some implications about teaching-learning in sciences are mentioned.Keywords: learning approaches, reading comprehension, question generation, academic achievement.Resumen.Dos líneas de investigación independientes, enfoques de aprendizaje y comprensión lectora se relacionan para dar respuesta a algunas de las dificultades encontradas en los estudiantes de secundaria. El objetivo es presentar un resumen de los hallazgos obtenidos en el estudio de las relaciones entre: por una parte, a) comprensión lectora (proceso mediante el que los estudiantes construyen una representación mental de la información del texto); b) conocimiento previo y c) generación de preguntas; por otra parte, d) enfoques de aprendizaje (modo en que experimentan y abordan las situaciones de aprendizaje) e) autorregulación y f) rendimiento académico. Un total de 1.125 estudiantes de cuarto de secundaria, de 28 centros del área metropolitana de Granada, participaron en tres estudios (dos con diseños ex-post-facto y un tercero con diseño cuasi-experimental). Los resultados  de los diferentes estudios mostraron relaciones entre las variables. Se concluye enfatizando el papel mediador de las preguntas así como la importancia de adoptar un punto de vista amplio sobre la comprensión de los textos de ciencias. Y se mencionan algunas implicaciones para la enseñanza-aprendizaje de las ciencias.Palabras clave: enfoques de aprendizaje, comprensión lectora, generación de preguntas, rendimiento.

Achievement test is of very important assessment tool to evaluate the student’s current level of knowledge and skill acquired from classroom instruction. This test is designed to evaluate the student’s level of achievement in a particular subject for a particular class prescribed under the board or the university. In other words, to assess how much the pupils have achieved the educational objectives in teaching learning process at the end of the course and if achieved then to what extent, it has been achieved. Achievement tests are proved to be very helpful in various ways to the people who are involved in the field of education such as the teachers, the administrators, the planners, to the parents as well as for the students. The teacher very carefully develops and conduct achievement test in the class which enable the teacher to get an overall idea of the progress or the level of achievement of his students in the subject area. The teacher can determine the pupil’s strength and weakness in the subject area. So, based on this the teacher can take necessary remedial instructional strategies for the betterment of the pupil’s progress. In the same time, it also provides feedback for the teaching efficiency of the teacher.As with the time changes there have been many educational reforms taken place and in between syllabus had also been changed under different Boards of Studies. In order to maintain uniform standard of education the Government has formulated a policy to implement NCERT syllabus common to all School Boards throughout the country and accordingly the State Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) follow NCERT syllabus and to evaluate students’ achievement in terms of the policy formulated by the Board. Till now, no any standardized achievement test has been conducted for the secondary school students of Assam.

Linear Predictors

The research aim of this paper was two-fold: to generate evidence that personality factors are linear predictors of the variable approaches to learning (a relevant cognitive-motivational variable of Educational Psychology); and to show that each type of learning approach differentially predicts positive or negative achievement emotions, in three learning situations: class time, study time, and testing. A total of 658 university students voluntarily completed validated questionnaires referring to these three variables. Using an ex post facto design, we conducted correlational analyses, regression analyses, and multiple structural predictions. The results showed that Conscientiousness is associated with and predicts a Deep Approach to learning, while also predicting positive achievement emotions. By contrast, Neuroticism is associated with and significantly predicts a Surface Approach to learning, as well as negative achievement emotions. There are important psychoeducational implications in the university context, both for prevention and for self-improvement, and for programs that offer psychoeducational guidance.

The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of KCPE as a predictor of KCSE scores among public secondary school students in Kisii central Sub-county, Kenya. This study was guided by a conceptual framework where KCPE was the independent variable and KCSE the dependent variable. It adopted Correlational and Ex-post-facto research designs. The study population was 3,897 KCSE candidates from 55 public secondary schools. Stratified random sampling based on school type and size was used to select 16 public secondary schools for the study. Saturated sampling was employed to include all KCSE candidates whose KCPE marks were available in each sampled school, yielding a sample of 1,391 students.  Data used included 2006 KCPE scores and 2010 KCSE scores of the same students under study. Data was collected using a researcher made pro forma. It was analyzed quantitatively using correlations and regression analyses. Results showed a strong positive Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r=0.693; n=1391; p < 0.05) between KCPE and KCSE scores. It recommended that; KCPE should continue to be used as selection tool for secondary school admission and school evaluation using KCSE examination scores should be based on students’ past KCPE scores.
