ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to analyze the trends of reading fluency- related experimental studies in Korea for 10 years and how they met the qualitative standards of scientific research. For literature analysis, literatures were searched and collected by domestic digital DB. For an analysis framework, single-subject design studies referred to Horner et al., (2005)’s quality indicators and Lee SH et al., (2005) and group experimental studies used Heo YS et al., (2010) who reconstructed Gersten et al., (2005)’s quality indicators. The results of this study were as follows: first, a total of 21 domestic reading fluency-related experimental studies were examined with 12 of single-subject design studies and 9 of group experimental studies and most of them were for elementary students. Since independent factors of all experimental studies but two used different intervention, it was difficult to suggest what intervention strategy was the most effective. Second, while the single-subject design studies was relatively high in qualitative indicators satisfaction, independent factor fidelity, inter-observer agreement, reliability, and replicable baseline description was limited. Finally, most group experimental studies did not meet a qualitative indicators. In particular, information on subjects, intervention fidelity, comparison group, intervention performer, and instrument validity was not sufficient. These results will contribute to providing the standards for selecting evidence-based instruction by helping improve elements which should be considered in further experimental studies.
