چکیده
The effects of an advance organizer, a preview of text structure and two arrangements of text material on prose learning and delayed retention were investigated. Text material was preceded by either an advance organizer, a preview of structure, or a neutral control passage. Two text structures were developed: 1) a hierarchical structure; 2) a hierarchical and categorical structure. Subjects were 120 female high school seniori. Groups reading an advance organizer and either text structure performed significantly better than control subjects for learning. This effect was replicated after an eight-day inter 1 for students reading an advance organizer and hierarchically and categoricaaly structured text but not for students reading an advance organizer and hierarchically structured text. The preview of structure significantly affected learning for students treading hierarchically and categorically structured text. In addition, studenta learned and retained significantly more superordinate than subordinate ideas contained in the material.
