This experimental study aimed to investigate the benefits of using a web-based reading curriculum on Korean university students’ reading performance and reading speed. Two research questions are explored in the study: (1) Does time-constraint in web-based reading affect reading performance? (2) Does time-constraint in web-based reading affect task completion time of reading performance? A sample of 62 university students was assigned to receive web-based reading instruction with or without time-constraint when reading texts on computers. Analysis of students' reading performance indicated that all students significantly improved reading skills on the web although the students who practiced reading under time-constraint did not improve as much as those who practiced without time-constraint. However, the significant differences were not shown in the task completion time. Time-constraint was not revealed as a variable of reading speed on the web between the groups. On the basis of the findings, the effects and educational implications are discussed in relation to time-constraint of web-based reading.
Abstract
This experimental study aimed to investigate the benefits of using a web-based reading curriculum on Korean university students’ reading performance and reading speed. Two research questions are explored in the study: (1) Does time-constraint in web-based reading affect reading performance? (2) Does time-constraint in web-based reading affect task completion time of reading performance? A sample of 62 university students was assigned to receive web-based reading instruction with or without time-constraint when reading texts on computers. Analysis of students' reading performance indicated that all students significantly improved reading skills on the web although the students who practiced reading under time-constraint did not improve as much as those who practiced without time-constraint. However, the significant differences were not shown in the task completion time. Time-constraint was not revealed as a variable of reading speed on the web between the groups. On the basis of the findings, the effects and educational implications are discussed in relation to time-constraint of web-based reading.
