With the increasing prevalence of digital devices such as smartphones, tablets and e-readers, more and more reading is happening in digital formats – also in classrooms across the world. The present study focuses on lower secondary school students and their reading comprehension and attitudes toward reading on paper and screens. The students read a selection of texts and answered questions from the Norwegian national reading assessment on comparable versions . A key result is that reading on screen leads to more shallow processing and can hinder reading comprehension. Importantly, our results from the students' cued retrospective reporting of their eye tracking, showed that they were unaware of their reading behavior and didn't reflect much on reading in different media. These findings have implications for the increasing shift to digital learning environments in the educational context. It is important to recognize the difference between reading processes, and policymakers and practitioners cannot assume that these processes are the same across individuals and different delivery modes.

纸的味道还是屏幕的光泽？学生在纸质和屏幕上阅读时的阅读理解、文本处理和态度


随着智能手机、平板电脑和电子阅读器等数字设备的日益普及，越来越多的阅读以数字格式进行——在世界各地的教室里也是如此。本研究的重点是初中生及其阅读理解能力以及对纸质和屏幕阅读的态度。学生们阅读了精选的文本，并回答了挪威国家阅读评估中类似版本的问题。一个关键结果是，在屏幕上阅读会导致更浅的处理，并可能妨碍阅读理解。重要的是，我们从学生的眼球追踪线索回顾性报告中得出的结果表明，他们没有意识到自己的阅读行为，并且对不同媒体的阅读没有太多反映。这些发现对于教育背景下向数字学习环境的日益转变具有重要意义。重要的是要认识到阅读过程之间的差异，政策制定者和实践者不能假设这些过程在个人和不同的交付模式中是相同的。
