Cognitive Diagnostic Perspectives of a Second Language Reading Test

Abstract

dc:description

These findings suggest that (1) 24 psychological dimensions are involved in the reading section of the TOEFL, (2) although the test is psychologically multidimensional, the test can be psychometrically unidimensional if the students' solution strategies were summarized into one cognitive path, and (3) if student response patterns were categorized into multiple cognitive path in the rule space, the data exhibits psychometric multidimensionality.
