What is the definition of Schema?

  1. A set of rules for writing

  2. A diagram, plan, or scheme used for outlining

  3. A group of words that can stand alone as a sentence

  4. Cooperative learning and reading comprehension

The correct answer is: A set of rules for writing

Schema refers to an individual's background knowledge or mental framework that helps them interpret new information. It includes a person's beliefs, experiences, and expectations that influence how they understand and interact with new concepts. In the context of reading comprehension, schema theory suggests that readers use their existing schema to create meaning from the text they are reading. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the concept of schema in the context of reading and comprehension.
