A Methodological Study On The Evaluation Of Learning From Story Narratives

A Methodological Study On The Evaluation Of Learning From Story Narratives

G Gliner et al. Multivariate Behav Res. .

Abstract

Exploratory multidimensional scaling and confirmatory nonparametric procedures (Hubert and Levin, 1976) were used to represent data from similarity rating and sorting tasks performed on nine animal names. Confirmatory procedures demonstrated that the organization of the data from the two tasks was similar. Analyses of data from sorting tasks performed after reading two stories with the nine animals as main characters (Bisanz, LaParte, Vesonder, and Voss, 1978) suggested a change from pre-reading organization that was similar to the organization of the characters intended by the authors in one of the two stories. One of the two dimensions used to write the second story appeared not to be salient to the readers.
