Transforming intensive reading instruction: a four-method pedagogical framework for enhancing reading proficiency in higher education

A research study involving 147 undergraduate students demonstrated that the Four-Method Pedagogical Framework (4MPF) significantly enhanced reading comprehension compared to traditional instructional methods in higher education. The 4MPF integrates metacognitive strategy training, morphological awareness training, collaborative dialogic reading, and technology-instructive adaptive feedback, addressing a critical 'reading-to-pedagogy gap' in universities.

This research provides a validated pedagogical framework for improving reading proficiency, a foundational skill critical for academic success and future workforce capabilities. Implementing such frameworks can address systemic educational deficiencies and enhance overall institutional effectiveness in knowledge transfer and skill development.

A significant 'reading-to-pedagogy gap' exists in higher education, necessitating integrated approaches to improve reading instruction.

Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
