Knowledge and Skills Statement

Comprehension skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts. The student uses metacognitive skills to both develop and deepen comprehension of increasingly complex texts.

Los estudiantes, en equipos, resaltan las ideas principales de cada uno de los párrafos de un texto informativo proporcionado por el maestro. Basándose en estos datos, sacan una conclusión que no se haya proporcionado en el texto. Posteriormente, cada equipo comparte con el grupo sus conclusiones. Modere la presentación de cada equipo y, motivando a los estudiantes a participar, complemente las conclusiones obtenidas. Observe y tome nota de la participación de los estudiantes.


Further Explanation

Los estudiantes, al determinar las ideas claves de un texto y combinarlas, pueden sacar nuevas conclusiones que no se encuentren en el texto mismo. Los estudiantes pueden así enriquecer y ampliar sus conocimientos acerca de este concepto.

Once students have determined what the key ideas are in a text, they can combine details and parts of a text or even multiple texts to form a new coherent and unified idea not explicitly stated in the source material. When students can synthesize information from a text, they are able to apply the knowledge gained from it to their lives and the world around them. For example, students who synthesize several viewpoints presented on an issue will have the ability to look at the issue in different ways and be better able to consider solutions.

Summary: In this study, researchers discuss instructional approaches that improve reading comprehension. The instructional approaches include rereading and paraphrasing.

Summary: This is one of a series of blogs that focuses on using questions to engage students in the teaching and learning process. One of the general outcomes of the questioning process is to promote students to think deeply by analyzing, comparing and synthesizing information, instead of writing a static recitation of facts or information. Students are encouraged to ask questions, and teachers are provided specific strategies to improve their own questioning skills. Both formal and informal questioning processes are addressed.

Summary: This article features an instructional sequence that takes students through the notetaking process. The purpose of the process is to move students away from simple bulleted lists toward notes that demonstrate, through the organization of details and key ideas, that students have synthesized and evaluated what they've read. Through a more sophisticated notetaking process, students can better understand and engage with content text.
