A Cross Cultural Study of Three Measures of Comprehension at the Primary and Intermediate Levels.
Fitzgerald, Thomas P.; Fitzgerald, Ellen F.
Educational Research Quarterly, v3 n2 p84-92 Sum 1978
This study investigated the differential performance of subjects across cultures (U.S. and Ireland); grade levels (grades 2, 3, and 4); and three test formats (multiple-choice-cloze, maze, and cloze). Recognition test formats produced higher scores than the cloze format. Cultural influences were also reported. (Author/GDC)
