其他摘要：An effective reading comprehension measurement demands robust psychometric tools that allow teachers andresearchers to evaluate the educational practices and track changes in students’performance. In this study, weillustrate how Rasch model can be used to attend such demands and improve reading comprehension measurement.We discuss the construction of two reading comprehension tests: TRC-n, with narrative texts, and TRC-e, withexpository texts. Three vertically scaled forms were generated for each test (TRC-n-2, TRC-n-3, TRC-n-4; TRC-e-2, TRC-e-3and TRC-e-4), each meant to assess Portuguese students in second, third and fourth grade of elementary school. Thetests were constructed according to a nonequivalent groups with anchor test design and data were analyzedusing the Rasch model. The results provided evidence for good psychometric qualities for each test form,including unidimensionality and local independence and adequate reliability. A critical view of this study andfuture researches are discussed.
