"Reading comprehension is essential for learning in all subjects and for lifelong learning; it is also a crucial ability allowing people to communicate and interact with one another. Therefore, large-scale international assessments such as the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study and Program for International Student Assessment incorporate reading as an indicator of learning outcomes. This study also recognizes the essential nature of reading comprehension. However, existing reading comprehension tests have several limitations. For example, the target populations of most tests comprise students in specific grades (e.g., elementary school students) or groups (e.g., students with special needs), and the assessments involve paper-and-pencil tests with fixed items that requires a lot of resources on test implementation and scoring. Currently, no Chinese reading comprehension assessment suitable for long-term implementation in general classrooms exists. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to develop an assessment system, namely the Diagnostic Assessment of Chinese Competence (DACC), for comprehensively evaluating students’reading abilities in the form of a computerized adaptive test. The reliability and validity of this system were also verified." |
