Descriptive Characteristics of the Three Clusters of ASRs
| Profile | n (%) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Average reader self-perception | 19 (27%) | Despite the norm data being gathered from students of a wide range of abilities, Profile 1 data across all four factors closely mirrored the norm. Scores in each factor were within or slightly below the “average” scoring category (Henk & Melnick, 1995). |
| Generally low reader self-perception | 44 (62%) | Mean scores for these students across all factors were in the “low” scoring category according to Henk and Melnick’s (1995) guidelines and were likely the most accurate indication of academic performance. The majority of students fell into this profile. |
| Very low reader self-perception | 8 (20%) | Most alarmingly, the smallest cluster rated themselves extremely low in each of the four factors. Scores in all four factors were significantly lower than Profile 2 despite scores in that group also being rated in the low range. |
