| description |
Reading compliance is reading assigned course materials in preparation for class. Previous research in
university settings in the US suggests that compliance with a professor?s request to prepare for class
among undergraduate students is low. This paper reports on a study conducted among undergraduate
students at the Universities of Cuenca and Azuay in Cuenca, Ecuador to assess their reading behaviors
and preferences as well as the factors that influence their decisions to comply or not comply with their
professors? assigned course readings. The study found that, whereas students are generally positive
about the value of their reading assignments, they do not read much. Considerable differences of
opinion exist between public and private university students on the topic. The study advocates a more
active role for professors in enhancing students reading behaviors and suggests opportunities for future
research. |
