Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigated whether reading comprehension would differ when the texts are studied and tested on screen or on paper. Participants were 69 college students who were attending a college in midwestern United States. Participants read two expository texts each, under comparable paper and screen conditions and answered comprehension questions. Test forms and the order of the conditions were counterbalanced. The correlations between reading outcomes and reader characteristics were examined. Participants also completed a survey on their views on the two media (paper or screen). The results did not indicate a significant difference on students’ reading comprehension as a function of medium and reader characteristics. However, students reported preferring paper-based reading for complex material.

屏幕阅读与纸上阅读：这真的重要吗？

摘要本研究探讨了阅读理解在屏幕阅读和纸上阅读时是否存在差异。参与者是69名在美国中西部一所大学就读的大学生。参与者在同等的纸张和屏幕条件下分别阅读两篇说明性文章，并回答理解性问题。测试形式和条件的顺序是平衡的。研究了阅读结果与读者特征之间的相关性。参与者还完成了一项关于他们对两种媒体(纸媒或屏幕)的看法的调查。结果显示，学生的阅读理解在媒介和读者特征的作用下没有显著差异。然而，学生们报告说，对于复杂的材料，他们更喜欢纸质阅读。
