The Support Strategy also had a high frequency score of 3.57. The Global Reading Strategy scored 3.34, indicating medium frequency use. Key issues in understanding scientific terms in journal articles included unfamiliarity with new and complex terms, especially in fields like medicine. To overcome these difficulties, students used translation, searched for definitions online, and sought clarification from peers or instructors. The research concluded that students predominantly use Problem-Solving and Support Strategies with high frequency, while Global Reading Strategies are used with medium frequency. Key challenges in understanding scientific terms include unfamiliarity with complex terminology, particularly in specialized fields like medicine. To address these issues, students commonly employ strategies such as translation, online searches for definitions, and seeking clarification from peers or instructors.
