Chapter One Introduction -- Chapter Two Theories of Reading Comprehension -- Chapter Three Construct and Validity -- Chapter Four Test Method and Response Format -- Chapter Five Methodology -- Chapter Six Quantitative Strand -- Chapter Seven Employing Think Aloud Protocols (TAPs) to Explore Test takers’ Cognitive Processes -- Chapter Eight Employing Eye Tracking to Explore Test takers’ Cognitive Processes -- Chapter Nine Conclusion and Future Directions.
In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: This book explores the construct of reading comprehension by means of two main test methods. Research methods like the think aloud protocol and eye tracking are employed to tap into test-takers’ cognitive processes while engaged in input text meaning building, and in test tasks. The book is the first systematic attempt to explore test-takers’ cognitive processes through the control of test methods, and presents findings in visualized form including processing route maps and eye fixation heat maps. It offers readers essential support with “digging into” and analyzing data that has to date remained difficult to access.
