ePIRLS 2016: International Results in Online Informational Reading
Mullis, Ina V. S.; Martin, Michael O.; Foy, Pierre; Hooper, Martin
International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement
The Internet has become the primary source for obtaining information at work, at home, and for school. Because Internet reading increasingly is becoming one of the central ways students are acquiring information, in 2016, the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) was extended to include ePIRLS--an innovative assessment of online reading. ePIRLS is a computer-based assessment that uses an engaging, simulated Internet environment to present fourth grade students with authentic school-like assignments involving science and social studies topics. The "ePIRLS 2016 International Results in Online Informational Reading" includes four chapters or sections providing numerous exhibits summarizing student achievement on ePIRLS compared to PIRLS overall and at the PIRLS 2016 International Benchmarks. Results also are presented in relation to students' home and school contexts for learning to read online.
