The superiority of the fifth graders was greater for the derived words than for the simple ones. The fIfth graders' advantage at derming derived words was due entirely to their greater tendency to analyze these words into roots and suffixes. Both groups tended to base their definitions on the root alone, ignoring the suffix, or to use the suffix incorrectly. In a test of ability to learn "meanings" of pseudo words, fifth-graders performed better when these words were derivationally related (e.g., skaf = steal, skaffist = thief) than when they were not; eighth graders showed no difference. (The interaction between grade and condition was significant.) We conclude that superior students are especially good at using derivational relations to learn new words, even when knowledge of simple vocabulary is (roughly) controlled. An attempt to train children to use derivational relations yielded promising but inconclusive results. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
