Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined differences in eye movements during reading of texts containing artificial unknown words (non-existent words created for the experiment) between those with high gain (high gainers) and those with low gain (low gainers) from vocabulary learning by reading (surprise vocabulary test performance). The results showed that the total retention time to unknown words was longer in the high-gain group, but the magnitude of this effect was greater in the group with higher performance in content comprehension. Furthermore, we found that the effects of general vocabulary and "enjoying the text" and "emotional movement" via content comprehension ultimately influenced gains.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
語彙力を高める堅実かつ有望な手段に,読書からの語彙学習がある。しかし,読書による語彙学習から得られるゲイン(gain: 学習効果の大きさ)に大きな個人差があることは教育現場では十分に認識されていなかった。本研究の成果は,ゲインの個人差があることを教育現場に再認識してもらうきっかけとなり,かつ,どのようにすればゲインを高めることができるのかについての重要な手掛かりを与えてくれるものである。具体的には,基礎としての語彙力の向上と,しっかりとテキスト内容を理解し,楽しむことを推奨する国語教育が考えられる。
