Abstract

The present study aims to map the reading comprehension skills of the primary school students in Hungary and Slovakia and to see what differences there are in the reading habits, self-assessment and actual performance in reading comprehension between the two groups.A total of 240 survey respondents from the two countries and belonging to two age groups participated in this phase of research. The survey consisted of two parts. The first part was a self-completed questionnaire consisting of 23 questions, in which the students' sociological background, language use, reading habits, and subjective opinions related to the assessment of reading comprehension skills were assessed. The second part was a reading comprehension test, which consisted of three sets of texts and questions adapted to the cognitive abilities of the two age groups.An analysis of the answers shows that there is no significant difference between the self-evaluation of students in the two countries regarding their reading comprehension skills. There is however a difference between the reading habits of Hungarian students in Hungary vs. in Slovakia in both age groups, and a significant difference between the results of the reading comprehension test in the groups of students from the two countries.

匈牙利和斯洛伐克匈牙利学生阅读理解能力的比较研究

本研究旨在绘制匈牙利和斯洛伐克两国小学生的阅读理解技能图谱，了解两国小学生在阅读习惯、阅读自我评价和阅读理解实际表现上的差异。共有240名来自两国、属于两个年龄组的受访者参与了这一阶段的研究。调查由两部分组成。第一部分是一份由23个问题组成的自填问卷，其中评估了学生的社会学背景、语言使用、阅读习惯以及与阅读理解能力评估相关的主观意见。第二部分是阅读理解测试，包括三套适合两个年龄组认知能力的文本和问题。对答案的分析表明，两国学生对阅读理解能力的自我评价没有显著差异。然而，匈牙利学生和斯洛伐克学生在这两个年龄段的阅读习惯存在差异，两国学生在阅读理解测试中的结果也存在显著差异。
