Empirical research, classroom research, retention, upper secundary educationAbstract
The performance of three groups, in both an inmediate and delayed, test was compared. Two of the groups were previously trained in the use of a different learning stategy wile the third one was the control group. All three groups read the same information and responded to the same test. Two hundred and seventy nine students from the firts year of preparatory school participated, they were randomly selected and assigned to one of the three groups. Inter-groups and intra-groups differences of performance were generally observed in the evaluated strategies and in the text used. Finally, possible theoretical and methodological implications related to those findings are discussed.
