Impact of text availability
and question format on reading comprehension processes
Junior high school students read expository texts and answered both multiple choice and open-ended questions on a computer that recorded reading times and readers’ actions with Read & Answer software.
The
results showed that readers reread prior text segments during initial reading
of the text more often when they knew that the text would be unavailable when
answering questions than when they knew that the text would be available. In
addition, readers made more search decisions in the text- available condition
when answering open-ended questions than when answering multiple-choice
questions.
