Kunyu Xu; Yu-Min Ku; Chenlu Ma; Chien-Hui Lin; Wan-Chen Chang – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
As an important construct in the cognitive process, comprehension monitoring has received much scholarly attention. Researchers have recognized comprehension monitoring as an ability closely linked with children's reading comprehension ability and working memory capacity. Evidence is also abundant to prove that comprehension monitoring skill…

Mark L. Davison; David J. Weiss; Joseph N. DeWeese; Ozge Ersan; Gina Biancarosa; Patrick C. Kennedy – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2023
A tree model for diagnostic educational testing is described along with Monte Carlo simulations designed to evaluate measurement accuracy based on the model. The model is implemented in an assessment of inferential reading comprehension, the Multiple-Choice Online Causal Comprehension Assessment (MOCCA), through a sequential, multidimensional,…

Ebadi, Saman; Goodarzi, Ahmad – Reading Psychology, 2023
This study presents the results of a sequential explanatory mixed-method approach to investigate the Iranian English language non-gainers of a computerized dynamic reading comprehension test (CDRT) by utilizing a learning style survey. Using an interventionist approach, the researchers used the CDRT software to explore English learners' perceptual…

Ben Seipel; Patrick C. Kennedy; Sarah E. Carlson; Virginia Clinton-Lisell; Mark L. Davison – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2023
As access to higher education increases, it is important to monitor students with special needs to facilitate the provision of appropriate resources and support. Although metrics such as the "reading readiness" ACT (formerly American College Testing) of provide insight into how many students may need such resources, they do not specify…

Chansak Siengyen; Punchalee Wasanasomsithi – rEFLections, 2024
The present study aimed to determine the effects of a computerized dynamic reading assessment (CDRA) program on English reading comprehension of university students with a lower level of English proficiency. Fulcher's (2003) framework was adapted in program development divided into three phases: program development, program implementation, and…

Li, Yan; Huang, Chao; Liu, Jia – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2023
Cognitive diagnostic computerized adaptive testing (CD-CAT) is a cutting-edge technology in educational measurement that targets at providing feedback on examinees' strengths and weaknesses while increasing test accuracy and efficiency. To date, most CD-CAT studies have made methodological progress under simulated conditions, but little has…

Máñez, Ignacio; Vidal-Abarca, Eduardo; Magliano, Joseph P. – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2022
Introduction: Students often answer questions from available expository texts for assessment and learning purposes. These activities require readers to activate not only meaning-making processes (e.g., paraphrases or elaborations), but also metacognitive operations (e.g., monitoring readers' own comprehension or self-regulating reading behaviors)…

Sun, Bo; Zhu, Yunzong; Yao, Zeng; Xiao, Rong; Xiao, Yongkang; Wei, Yungang – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
Reading comprehension tasks are commonly used for developing students' reading ability. In order to adaptively recommend reading comprehension materials to students engaged in computerized testing, the information in an item bank (a collection of test items stored in a dataset) must be effectively indexed. Familiarity with the topics present in…

Miao Li; Yueming Xi; Esther Geva; Rong Yan; Wei Zhao – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
It has been suggested that the reading acceleration program (RAP) (Breznitz et al. in Nature Communications 4: 1486, 2013), in which participants are forced to read at a rate faster than their normal reading fluency rate, improves reading fluency and comprehension in alphabetic languages. However, its effectiveness has never been examined in…

Hossein Kargar Behbahani; Sedigheh Karimpour – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
This study examined the effect of mobile-mediated dynamic assessment on reading comprehension and reading fluency skills of Iranian L2 learners. With 50 Iranian L2 learners, randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups, a pretest-posttest control group design was used. Whereas the control group received traditional instructor…

Nikola Ebenbeck; Morten Bastian; Andreas Mühling; Markus Gebhardt – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Computerised adaptive tests (CATs) are tests that provide personalised, efficient and accurate measurement while reducing testing time, depending on the desired level of precision. Schools have different types of assessments that can benefit from a significant reduction in testing time to varying degrees, depending on the area of…

Saerys-Foy, Jeffrey E.; LoCasto, Paul C.; Burn, David; Ferranti, Daniella – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
According to theories of validation, people routinely check incoming information against prior knowledge during comprehension. On these theories, information is validated if it fits with prior knowledge. Some researchers argue that information needs to be successfully validated before being incorporated into the situation model. We report five…

Goodwin, Amanda P.; Petscher, Yaacov; Reynolds, Dan – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Purpose: This study explores the roles of morphological skills (Morphological Awareness, Morphological-Syntactic-Knowledge,Morphological-Semantic-Knowledge, and Morphological-Orthographic/Phonological-Knowledge), vocabulary (knowledge of definitions, relationships between words, and polysemous meanings), and syntax in contributing to adolescent…

Virginia Clinton-Lisell; Terrill Taylor; Sarah E. Carlson; Mark L. Davison; Ben Seipel – Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2022
Reading comprehension assessments are used for postsecondary course placement and advising, and they are components of college entrance exams. Therefore, a quantitative understanding of the relationship between reading comprehension assessments and postsecondary academic achievement is needed. To address this need, we conducted a meta-analysis to…

Gilbert, Joshua B.; Kim, James S.; Miratrix, Luke W. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2023
Analyses that reveal how treatment effects vary allow researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to better understand the efficacy of educational interventions. In practice, however, standard statistical methods for addressing heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE) fail to address the HTE that may exist "within" outcome measures. In…
