Reading comprehension has been an object of study these last years, as it is basic competence. In the Basque Country, however, there are few investigations on that topic. The objective of this investigation, therefore, is to analyze how reading comprehension is measured by the external assessment carried out by the institution ISEI-IVEI and Heziberri. The object of study has been determined by three parameters: inference levels, comprehension levels and the validity, reliability, and objectivity of the tests. The main conclusion obtained through the investigation is that, principally, the comprehension that it is assessed is the literal one. Taking this into account, and in order to focus on the use of strategies and deepen in the comprehension levels, two methodological approaches are developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
