Session Type: Symposium
This symposium reports results from the second year of a three-year measurement study designed to develop, refine and validate the Multiple-choice Online Causal Comprehension Assessment (MOCCA). Papers focus on the original and new refinements of MOCCA, including item development and revision processes; Year 2 results, including results based on classical test theory, item response theory, and item feature and difficulty correlations; and the future directions for MOCCA, including developments with other age groups and response time and accuracy analyses. Results are suggestive of the positive potential for MOCCA to serve as a diagnostic measure of reading comprehension that not only distinguishes good and poor comprehenders, but also distinguishes types of poor comprehenders grounded in comprehension theory and basic research.
