Abstract

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the association between morphological awareness and reading comprehension, taking into account critical factors that could affect its strength. Following NIRO guidelines, we included 44 studies involving 63 independent samples, and 126 correlations between morphological awareness and reading comprehension. Overall, we found a significant association between morphological awareness and reading comprehension (r = 0.565), but also large heterogeneity (81.37%), supporting the need for analysis of potential moderators: age, type of morphologically complex word, characteristics of morphological awareness and reading comprehension tests were examined. We found that type of morphologically complex word was the only significant moderator of this association. In sum, we have demonstrated that morphological awareness influences reading comprehension across a wide age range. Implications for educational practice, as well as recommendations that future studies report more detailed information about participants and measures, are discussed.

儿童词形意识与阅读理解的关系:系统回顾与元分析

本系统综述和荟萃分析考察了词形意识与阅读理解之间的关系，并考虑了可能影响其强度的关键因素。根据NIRO的指导方针，我们纳入了44项研究，涉及63个独立样本，126个形态学意识与阅读理解之间的相关性。总体而言，我们发现词形意识与阅读理解之间存在显著的关联(r = 0.565)，但也存在较大的异质性(81.37%)，支持需要分析潜在的调节因子:年龄、词形复杂词的类型、词形意识特征和阅读理解测试。我们发现，词形复杂的词类型是这种关联的唯一显著调节因子。总之，我们已经证明了词形意识在广泛的年龄范围内影响阅读理解。讨论了对教育实践的启示，以及建议未来的研究报告更多关于参与者和措施的详细信息。

期刊介绍： Educational Research Review is an international journal catering to researchers and diverse agencies keen on reviewing studies and theoretical papers in education at any level. The journal welcomes high-quality articles that address educational research problems through a review approach, encompassing thematic or methodological reviews and meta-analyses. With an inclusive scope, the journal does not limit itself to any specific age range and invites articles across various settings where learning and education take place, such as schools, corporate training, and both formal and informal educational environments.
