A Complex Reading Comprehension Test Among First-Year University Students
New Approaches to Reading Comprehension
Abstract
The description and measurement options for the relationship between mathematics and language include the examination of text comprehension. This competence has a wide range of applications. The examination of text comprehension contributes to the measurement of abstract, logical thinking. Text comprehension is an important part of success in both education and the labor market. To describe this ability, a measurement method is needed that describes the levels of interpretation of the competence, its possible deficits, and the areas of development in a more complex way. This micro-research measured the level of inductive and combinatorial thinking ability in the thinking of university students. The study thus aimed to provide a more accurate picture of the more combined, abstract measurement options for text comprehension. The results can be used in both higher education and public education.
