Does using a learner-generated drawing strategy (i.e., drawing pictures during reading) foster students’
engagement in generative learning during reading? In two experiments, 8th-grade students (Exp. 1: N = 48;
Exp. 2: N = 164) read a scientific text explaining the biological process of influenza and then took two
learning outcome tests. In Experiment 1, students who were asked to draw pictures during reading (learnergenerated
drawing group), scored higher than students who only read (control group) on a multiplechoice
comprehension test (d = 0.85) and on a drawing test (d = 1.15). In Experiment 2, students in the
learner-generated drawing group scored significantly higher than the control group on both a multiplechoice
comprehension test (d = 0.52) and on a drawing test (d = 1.89), but students who received authorgenerated
pictures in addition to drawing or author-generated pictures only did not. Additionally, the
drawing-accuracy scores during reading correlated with comprehension test scores (r = .623, r = .470) and
drawing scores (r = .620, r = .615) in each experiment, respectively. These results provide further evidence
for the generative drawing effect and the prognostic drawing effect, thereby confirming the benefits
of the learner-generated drawing strategy.
