Miscue analysis is a reading research method and a reading evaluation tool developed by Kenneth Goodman in the 1960s. It has been used widely to study reading processes and evaluate reading performance. Generally considered an alternate reading assessment, miscue analysis reveals the processes of comprehending while most standardized reading tests show the results of comprehension. Although a valuable reading evaluation tool, miscue analysis provokes its share of concerns about test validity and reliability. The purpose of this study is to explore issues concerning the validity and reliability of miscue analysis research. It first presents a brief introduction to miscue analysis and procedures of collecting miscue data. Then issues concerning the validity and reliability of miscue analysis are discussed by surveying and synthesizing related research literature. This is followed by a discussion about possible ways to consolidate validity and reliability of miscue analysis. The study would help interested reading teachers and researchers to use miscue analysis as a counterpoint to other types of reading tests. |
