Efficient reading begins with text decoding and finish with comprehension. When there is a lack of reading comprehension (RC), the person is likely unable to use the main information of a text in everyday life; something related to non-functional literacy. Using eye-tracking technique, some researchers have found that regressions (return to previously read text) are a common behavior during reading, and sometimes they are used as a rereading strategy to improve RC. However, the utility of regressions to improve RC depends on the reader's skills. Based on these data, the main purpose of this study was to compare regressions and RC between low-and middle-skilled readers. Eighteen college students completed a computerized version of a middle school student's RC test (ECOMPLEC-Sec) while their eye movements were recorded. We found a statistically marginal relation between regressions during narrative text and text-based RC on low-skilled readers. However, our results indicated no relation between number of regressions and RC regardless of level of reading competency. The necessity of new research to increase the knowledge of RC using eye-tracking parameters was discussed.
La mejora del desempeño organizacional es una constante en las empresas que buscan ser competitivas y la utilización de herramientas de gestión toma gran relevancia para mejorar dicho desempeño. El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo principal analizar los efectos de la implementación del Balanced Scorecard en el desempeño de la empresa All Natural & Organic, tomando en cuenta la formulación de estrategias y la planeación, posibilitadas por la utilización de la técnica. El Balanced Scorecard, herramienta diseñada por Norton & Kaplan (1996), sugiere que es un instrumento que ayuda a la alta gerencia a administrar las estrategias abarcando todos los planos posibles que toda empresa debe tomar en cuenta durante el desarrollo de su gestión. Los resultados de esta investigación muestran la manera en que la empresa se ha vuelto competitiva con el uso de este recurso, en el estricto sentido del desarrollo empresarial y de la mejora del desempeño.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
