Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Education
Abstract
This research paper investigates the integration of reading assessment as a strategy to improve the reading skills of students using the Comprehensive Reading Assessment Module. A quasi-experimental design, pre-post no control group was utilized in the study. The participants of this research were the 105 students who completed the pre-and post-intervention tests. The Comprehension Assessment of Reading Strategies Module was used as an intervention to effect the change of the level of reading comprehension skills and mastery of the students. The whole module includes Comprehensive Assessment of Reading Strategies I as book on which includes ten lessons with reading passages and 12 selected response questions. Book two, Strategies to Achieve Reading Success which provides essential instructions for twelve reading strategies. Book 3, the Comprehensive Assessment of Reading Strategies II which contains reading series that assess the 12 reading strategies that are practiced in Book 1 and 2. The whole module was completed in 12 weeks time. The scale provided by the module was utilized to rate the pre-and post-intervention performance of the students. To describe the pre-and post-intervention performance of the students, means and standard deviations were computed. The significance of the difference in this investigation was determined using the t-test for dependent samples. A significant difference was noted between the pre-and post-intervention performance of the students in favour of post-intervention.
