Abstract: Background: Computer-based assessment allows for the monitoring of reader behaviour. The identification of patterns in this behaviour can provide insights that may be useful in informing educational interventions. Objectives: Our study aims to explore what different patterns of reading activity exist, and investigates their interpretation and consistency across different task sets (units), countries, and languages. Three patterns were expected: on-task, exploring and disengaged. Methods: Using log data from the PISA 2012 digital reading assessment (9226 students from seven countries), we conducted hierarchical cluster analyses with typical process indicators of digital reading assessments. We identified different patterns and explored whether they remained consistent across different units. To validate the interpretation of the identified patterns, we examined their relationship to performance and student characteristics (gender, socio-economic status, print reading skills). Results and Conclusions: The results indicate a small number of transnational clusters, with unit-specific differences. Cluster interpretation is supported by associations with student characteristics-for example, students with low print reading skills were more likely to show a disengaged pattern than proficient readers. Exploring behaviour tended to be exhibited only once across the three units: It occurred in the first unit for proficient readers and in later units for less skilled readers. Major Takeaways: Behavioural patterns can be identified in digital reading tasks that may prove useful for educational monitoring and intervention. Although task situations are designed to evoke certain behaviours, the interpretation of observed behavioural patterns requires validation based on task requirements, assessment context and relationships to other available information.

Abstract: Objectives. Evaluate the block-adaptive number series task of reasoning, as a time-efficient proxy of general cognitive ability in the Level-2 sample of the German National Cohort (NAKO), a population-based mega cohort. Methods. The number series task consisted of two blocks of three items each, administered as part of the touchscreen-based assessment. Based on performance on the first three items, a second block of appropriate difficulty was automatically administered. Scoring of performance was based on the Rasch model. Relations of performance scores to age, sex, education, study centre, language proficiency, and scores on other cognitive tasks were examined. Results. Except for one very difficult item, the data of the remaining 14 items showed sufficient fit to the Rasch model (Infit: 0.89-1.04; Outfit: 0.80-1.08). The resulting performance scores (N = 21,056) had a distribution that was truncated at very high levels of ability. The reliability of the performance estimates was satisfactory. Relations to age, sex, education, and the executive function factor of the other cognitive tasks in the NAKO supported the validity. Conclusions. The number series task provides a valid proxy of general cognitive ability for the Level-2 sample of the NAKO, based on a highly time-efficient assessment procedure. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: Multiple Document Comprehension (MDC) ist eine wichtige Kompetenz für Studierende, weshalb ihre Verbesserung vorteilhaft ist. Wir nehmen an, dass der wahrgenommene Wert der MDC-Kompetenz wichtig bei der Förderung von MDC ist, da er ein Prädiktor für Verhaltensentscheidungen sein kann, wie z. B. die Bearbeitung von Selbstlernmaterialien. Die Bearbeitung von Selbstlernmaterialien ist typisch für das Lernen an Universitäten, erfordert aber die Motivation, sich in einer Kompetenz wie MDC zu verbessern. Wir definieren die Motivation, sich in MDC zu verbessern, als die Erwartung, den Wert und die damit verbundenen Kosten, sich in MDC zu verbessern. Wir nehmen an, dass die Motivation, sich in MDC zu verbessern, sowohl die Bearbeitung der Selbstlernmaterialien beeinflusst als auch von dem wahrgenommenen Wert der MDC-Kompetenz abhängt. Deshalb wurde in dieser Studie untersucht, ob der wahrgenommene Wert der MDC-Kompetenz die Motivation, sich in MDC zu verbessern, vorhersagt und letztere die Bearbeitung von Selbstlernmaterialien begünstigt. Insgesamt nahmen N = 278 Studierende dreier deutscher Universitäten an einem MDC-Test teil und hatten danach die Möglichkeit, ihre MDC-Kompetenz mit Selbstlernmaterialien zu trainieren. Das Engagement bei der Bearbeitung der Selbstlernmaterialien wurde über die Bearbeitungszeit und die Anzahl der Seitenwechsel gemessen. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass der wahrgenommene Wert der MDC-Kompetenz die Motivation, sich in MDC zu verbessern, teilweise vorhersagte. Die weiteren Analysen zeigten im Wesentlichen keine signifikanten Effekte des wahrgenommenen Werts der MDC-Kompetenz und der Motivation, sich zu verbessern, auf das Engagement bei der Bearbeitung der Selbstlernmaterialien. Allerdings deuteten die ausgewerteten Log-Daten darauf hin, dass das Selbstlernmaterial nicht in dem erwarteten Umfang bearbeitet wurde. (DIPF/Orig.)
Abstract (english): Multiple document comprehension (MDC) is an essential skill for university students, making it beneficial to improve it. We assume that the value assigned to MDC is important to foster MDC since it can be a predictor for behavioral choices, such as working with self-study material. Using self-study material is typical for university learning, but it requires the motivation to improve a skill such as MDC. We define motivation to improve MDC in terms of expectancy, value, and cost to improve MDC. We expect that it is a driving force for working with self-study material on MDC, while it might also depend on the perceived value of MDC. Therefore, this study examined whether the perceived value of MDC predicts the motivation to improve MDC, which is also expected to predict the use of self-study material. A total of 278 students of different majors participated in a MDC assessment and received the opportunity to train their MDC skill with self-study material. The engagement in using the self-study material was measured by the total time and the number of page transitions on the self-study material. The results indicated that the perceived value of MDC partially predicted motivation to improve MDC. However, further analysis revealed mainly no significant effects of the perceived value of MDC and the motivation to improve MDC on the engagement in using the self-study material. However, the log data indicated that the engagement in using the self-study material was not as high as expected. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: Der MDC-Test erfasst die fächerübergreifende Fähigkeit von Studierenden, aus mehreren Textdokumenten eine umfassende mentale Repräsentation eines beschriebenen Themas zu konstruieren. Der Test gibt dabei weitgehend glaubwürdige Dokumente und Informationsquellen vor, die miteinander verglichen, integriert und verknüpft werden müssen. Das bedeutet auch, dass er nicht Fähigkeiten zur Suche und Auswahl von Dokumenten erfasst. Der MDC-Test ist in sogenannte Units gegliedert, die aus 2 bis 3 Dokumenten und Items bestehen. Insgesamt sind 5 Units mit 67 Items verfügbar. Die Inhalte der Units befassen sich mit Themen aus verschiedenen Bereichen (z. B. Naturwissenschaft, Literaturwissenschaft) und variieren in der Anzahl der vorliegenden Dokumente und der Gesamtdokumentlänge. Zwei Units erfordern zudem das Verfassen eines kurzen Aufsatzes (Essay), dessen Inhalt jedoch nicht in die Testauswertung eingeht. Die Dokumentinhalte sind zudem größtenteils erfunden (Ausnahme: Unit "Universum"), um MDC möglichst unabhängig von den Vorkenntnissen der Studierenden zu messen. Die Items weisen ein Single-Choice Antwortformat auf (31 Items mit zwei Antwortalternativen; 36 Items mit vier Antwortalternativen). Für eine korrekte Itemantwort müssen Informationen aus mindestens zwei Dokumenten einer Unit berücksichtigt werden. Die Itemantworten werden dichotom kodiert (0 = falsch gelöst, 1 = richtig gelöst). Jede Unit beginnt damit, dass die Testteilnehmer:innen über die Anzahl der Dokumente und Items informieren werden und ein Leseziel vorgegeben wird (z. B. die Texte so zu lesen, als ob eine Präsentation für ein Seminar gehalten werden soll). Die Teilnehmer:innen können frei zwischen den Texten und Items navigieren. In Units, die einen Aufsatz enthalten, muss zunächst der Aufsatz geschrieben werden, bevor die Items bearbeitet werden können. Jedes Textdokument umfasst eine Schaltfläche, die ein zusätzliches Popup-Dialogfeld mit Informationen über die Quelle des Dokuments öffnet. Die Teilnehmer:innen können Textpassagen im Dokument hervorheben und Kommentare neben den Text setzen. Darüber hinaus erhalten Teilnehmer:innen eine visuelle Rückmeldung über ihre Bearbeitungszeit und den Aufgabenfortschritt. Jede Unit weist ein spezifisches Zeitlimit auf (zwischen 27 - 38 Minuten), das auf der Startseite angekündigt wird. Zehn Minuten vor Ablauf des Zeitlimits erhalten die Teilnehmer:innen einen Reminder, dass das Zeitlimit ausläuft. Nach Ablauf des Zeitlimits beendet sich die Unit automatisch.

Abstract: Multiple document comprehension (MDC) refers to the ability to integrate information from multiple sources into a coherent representation, which requires specific cognitive processes. Assuming that epistemic beliefs are domain-related, this study investigates exploratively how epistemic beliefs in the domains of science and history affect the mastery of cognitive requirements in domain-general MDC (e.g. the comparison of source information). 156 university students reported their epistemic beliefs in physics or history and completed a computer-based test measuring their MDC. The results showed that MDC was significantly predicted by the epistemic beliefs dimension of personal justification in physics. A conservative approach revealed no interaction effects between epistemic beliefs and the mastery of specific cognitive requirements but results of a liberal approach hinted at associations with epistemic beliefs in physics rather than history. The results are discussed with respect to the nature of epistemic beliefs and theoretical assumptions regarding their relations to MDC requirements. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract (english): In large-scale assessments, disengaged participants might rapidly guess on items or skip items, which can affect the score interpretation's validity. This study analyzes data from a linear computer-based assessment to evaluate a micro-intervention that blocked the possibility to respond for 2 s. The blocked response was implemented to prevent participants from accidental navigation and as a naive attempt to prevent rapid guesses and rapid omissions. The response process was analyzed by interpreting log event sequences within a finite-state machine approach. Responses were assigned to different response classes based on the event sequence. Additionally, post hoc methods for detecting rapid responses based on response time thresholds were applied to validate the classification. Rapid guesses and rapid omissions could be distinguished from accidental clicks by the log events following the micro-intervention. Results showed that the blocked response interfered with rapid responses but hardly led to behavioral changes. However, the blocked response could improve the post hoc detection of rapid responding by identifying responses that narrowly exceed time-bound thresholds. In an assessment context, it is desirable to prevent participants from accidentally skipping items, which in itself may lead to an increasing popularity of initially blocking responses. If, however, data from those assessments is analyzed for rapid responses, additional log data information should be considered.

Abstract (english): International large-scale assessments such as PISA or PIAAC have started to provide public or scientific use files for log data; that is, events, event-related attributes and timestamps of test-takers' interactions with the assessment system. Log data and the process indicators derived from it can be used for many purposes. However, the intended uses and interpretations of process indicators require validation, which here means a theoretical and/or empirical justification that inferences about (latent) attributes of the test-taker's work process are valid. This article reviews and synthesizes measurement concepts from various areas, including the standard assessment paradigm, the continuous assessment approach, the evidence-centered design (ECD) framework, and test validation. Based on this synthesis, we address the questions of how to ensure the valid interpretation of process indicators by means of an evidence-centered design of the task situation, and how to empirically challenge the intended interpretation of process indicators by developing and implementing correlational and/or experimental validation strategies. For this purpose, we explicate the process of reasoning from log data to low-level features and process indicators as the outcome of evidence identification. In this process, contextualizing information from log data is essential in order to reduce interpretative ambiguities regarding the derived process indicators. Finally, we show that empirical validation strategies can be adapted from classical approaches investigating the nomothetic span and construct representation. Two worked examples illustrate possible validation strategies for the design phase of measurements and their empirical evaluation. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: Efficiency in reading component skills is crucial for reading comprehension, as efficient subprocesses do not extensively consume limited cognitive resources, making them available for comprehension processes. Cognitive efficiency is typically measured with speeded tests of relatively easy items. Observed responses and response times indicate the latent variables of ability and speed. Interpreting only ability or speed as efficiency may be misleading because there is a within-person dependency between both variables (speed-ability tradeoff [SAT]). Therefore, the present study measures efficiency as ability conditional on speed by controlling speed experimentally with item-level time limits. The proposed timed ability measures of reading component skills are expected to have a clearer interpretation in terms of efficiency and to be better predictors for reading comprehension. To support this claim, this study investigates two component skills, visual word recognition and sentence-level semantic integration (sentence reading), to understand how differences in ability in a timed condition are related to differences in ability and speed in a traditional untimed condition. Moreover, untimed and timed reading component skill measures were used to explain reading comprehension. A German subsample from Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012 completed the reading component skills tasks with and without item-level time limits and PISA reading tasks. The results showed that timed ability is only moderately related to untimed ability. Furthermore, timed ability measures proved to be stronger predictors of sentence-level and text-level reading comprehension than the corresponding untimed ability and speed measures, although using untimed ability and speed jointly as predictors increased the amount of explained variance.

Abstract: The study investigates automated and controlled cognitive processes that occur when university students read multiple documents (MDs). We examined data of 401 students dealing with two MD sets in a digital environment. Performance was assessed through several comprehension questions. Recorded log data gave indications about students' time allocation, corroboration, and sourcing. Independent measures were used for reading speed to tap the effects of automatic processing and for working memory and single-text reading comprehension to tap effects of controlled processing, with working memory considered the mental capacity for performing controlled processing. We found that faster readers completed the MD tasks faster and showed more corroboration behavior. At the same time, students skilled in comprehension allocated more time to processing MD tasks and were more likely to show MD-specific behaviors of corroboration and sourcing. Students' success in MD tasks was predicted by reading speed and working memory, with the effect of working memory being mediated by single-text comprehension. Behavioral indicators contributed independently in predicting students' MD comprehension. Results suggest that reading MDs resembles a problem-solving situation where students need to engage in controlled, non-routine processing to build up a comprehensive representation of MDs and benefit from highly automated, lower-level reading processes.
