HKPISA Reading habit, reading attitude and reading literacy performance in Hong Kong and Finland Presented by Paul Sze and Esther Ho PISA International Conference, Nov , Hong Kong

Structure of Presentation Part One: To provide a profile of HK students’ reading attitude and reading habits Part Two: To further explore the relationship between students’ reading habits and their reading performance

Profiling HK Students’ Reading Attitude and Habits Interest in Reading: How interested are our students in reading? Reading self-concept: How do our students perceive their literacy ability in their L1? Reading diversity: What types of materials do our students read? Reading engagement: How often do our students read? How keen are they about reading?

A Profile of HK Students’ Reading Attitude and Habits HK has the fourth highest index in interest in reading among the PISA countries/regions. HK is second lowest in reading self-concept. HK is highest in reading diversity. HK is third highest in reading engagement.

How does HK’s reading profile compare with that of the top- performing countries?

Countries chosen for comparison AustraliaCanadaFinland (Hong Kong) IrelandJapanKorea New Zealand Sweden United Kingdom United States

Reading Interest (1)

Reading Self-concept (2)

Reading for Enjoyment (3)

Reading Diversity (4)

Hong Kong in the Comparison Group HK is highest in interest in reading HK almost lowest in reading self-concept HK highest in reading diversity HK is third in reading engagement(based on reading time, reading diversity and reading attitude)

Observation and Question Compared with the top-performing countries, HK’s students: are quite interested in reading; read a wide range of materials; do take time to read for enjoyment. Why is it that at the same time, our students’ reading self-concept is so low?

How does HK’s profile compare with that of Finland?

Reading Interest vs Performance (5)

Reading Interest and Reading Performance Reading performance grows steadily with interest in reading, both in HK and Finland. The correlation is even greater in Finland.

Reading Self-Concept vs Performance (6)

Self-concept and Performance There is a correlation between reading self-concept and reading performance. The correlation is even stronger in Finland.

Reading Attitude Students in both HK and Finland are positive towards reading. But more students in HK (51%) read only when they have to, than in Finland (26%) More students in HK read for instrumental purposes (49%), than in Finland (35%)

Reading Engagement and Reading Performance In Hong Kong, little difference between the less engaging groups; but performance increased greatly for the more engaging groups. In Finland, clear relationship throughout.

Reading Performance and Other Factors Finland students spend more time reading each day than HK students do. Students in Finland are surrounded by more books at home than HK students. In both HK and Finland, there is a significant correlation between reading performance and (1) reading diversity, (2) time spent on reading, and (3) number of books at home.

Gender gap in Reading Performance (15)

Gender and Reading Performance big gender gap among low achievers in both HK and Finland. Among high achievers, big gender gap in Finland, but little difference in HK.
