Danielson, Robert W.; Sinatra, Gale M.; Trevors, Greg; Muis, Krista R.; Pekrun, Reinhard; Heddy, Benjamin C. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
When individuals seek to learn about scientific information, they likely turn to the Internet. There, they will find multiple documents with conflicting points of view and varying degrees of accuracy. Integrating this information is challenging and may evoke epistemic emotions which may, in turn, influence how this information is integrated.…

Yuk-yin Kwok; Chun-kit Kwan – Anatolian Journal of Education, 2025
Word problems are a question type commonly seen in math tests and exams. Since word problems are an integral part in teaching and learning of mathematics in schools, understanding what factors that would affect students' ability to solve math word problems may help students understand where their weaknesses lie and help teachers adopt effective…

Jana Welling; Timo Gnambs; Claus H. Carstensen – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
Disengaged responding poses a severe threat to the validity of educational large-scale assessments, because item responses from unmotivated test-takers do not reflect their actual ability. Existing identification approaches rely primarily on item response times, which bears the risk of misclassifying fast engaged or slow disengaged responses.…

Christhilf, Katerina; Newton, Natalie; Butterfuss, Reese; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Allen, Laura K.; Magliano, Joseph P.; McNamara, Danielle S. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Prompting students to generate constructed responses as they read provides a window into the processes and strategies that they use to make sense of complex text. In this study, Markov models examined the extent to which: (1) patterns of strategies; and (2) strategy combinations could be used to inform computational models of students' text…

Chen, Huilin; Cai, Yuyang; de la Torre, Jimmy – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2023
This study uses a cognitive diagnosis model (CDM) approach to investigate the associations among specific L2 reading subskills. Participants include 1,203 Year-4 English major college students randomly selected from the nationwide test takers of Band 8 of Test for English Majors (TEM8), a large-scale English proficiency test for senior English…

Braasch, Jason L. G.; Kessler, Erica D. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
Comprehension substantially benefits from attending to, thinking about, and mentally representing the sources of any presented information. Such processes require mental effort and unfortunately people do not always engage in such activities. The current article presents a nascent, evolving model of discourse comprehension that formalizes…

D'Mello, Sidney K.; Southwell, Rosy; Gregg, Julie – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
We propose that machine-learned computational models (MLCMs), in which the model parameters and perhaps even structure are learned from data, can complement extant approaches to the study of text and discourse. Such models are particularly useful when theoretical understanding is insufficient, when the data are rife with nonlinearities and…

Tabatabaee-Yazdi, Mona – SAGE Open, 2020
The Hierarchical Diagnostic Classification Model (HDCM) reflects on the sequences of the presentation of the essential materials and attributes to answer the items of a test correctly. In this study, a foreign language reading comprehension test was analyzed employing HDCM and the generalized deterministic-input, noisy and gate (G-DINA) model to…

Ryan D. Kopatich; Joseph P. Magliano; Keith K. Millis; Christopher P. Parker; Melissa Ray – Grantee Submission, 2019
A large body of work has demonstrated that reader resources influence inference processes and comprehension, but few models of comprehension have accounted for such resources. The Direct and Mediational Inference model of comprehension (DIME) assumes that general inference processes mediate the effects of reader resources on general comprehension…

Tavarez DaCosta, Pedro; Herrera Gutierrez, Yerni – Online Submission, 2020
Universidad Tecnológica de Santiago (UTESA) is a university considered as one of the highest ranking universities in the Dominican Republic, it is one of the few to be recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology as an autonomous university for its constant research and updating. This university offers to college students…

Yamashita, Junko; Shiotsu, Toshihiko – Applied Linguistics, 2017
Among predictors of second language (L2) reading, both first language (L1) reading and L2 listening embody the complexities of comprehension ability in their construct. Their contributions to L2 reading have rarely been examined together, probably because of the different theoretical frameworks in which they are postulated. Therefore, the field…

Francis, Michelle Andersen; Armstrong, Sonya L. – Journal of Developmental Education, 2018
The face of developmental reading is changing. Yet, the mission does not change: Students must be prepared to tackle academic texts if they are to be successful in college, and this is the essence of academic literacy instruction. Developmental reading professionals must have a deep understanding of academic vocabulary acquisition. Unfortunately,…

Bott, Lewis; Rees, Alice; Frisson, Steven – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Metonymic words have multiple related meanings, such as "college", as in the building ("John walked into the college") or the educational institution ("John was promoted by the college"). Most researchers have found support for direct access models of metonymy but one recent study, Lowder and Gordon (2013), found…
