다중집단분석을 활용한 읽기 처리 과정 모형의 타당도 연구

초록

The purpose of this study was to examine the construct validity of models of L2 reading processes. To do this, the current study utilized a series of confirmatory factor analyses(CFAs) and multigroup CFAs. The models examined in the present study were (1) simultaneous processing model and (2) interactive-compensatory model. Both models were hypothesized to involve the interaction between top-down and bottom-up processing. The participants were 1,716 students. Most of them were secondary school students, and they were given a 30-item reading test designed to examine the adequacy of models of L2 reading processes. The results of CFAs suggested that the simultaneous processing model of L2 reading might be more plausible than the interactive-compensatory model as far as the whole group is concerned. The results also suggested that the simultaneous processing model might also work better for the high-level students, and that the interactive-compensatory model might be more plausible for the low-level students. Finally, some suggestions for the further study are addressed.
