Este artículo presenta una nueva prueba de evaluación de la competencia lectora, la Prueba de Competencia Lectora para Educación Secundaria (CompLEC). CompLEC ha sido elaborada desde el marco teórico propuesto por el Informe PISA y las nuevas definiciones de competencia lectora. Esta prueba, de fácil aplicación y corrección, evalúa el nivel de competencia lectora de escolares de entre 11 y 14 años en diversas situaciones de lectura (i.e., públicas, educativas, personales y ocupacionales) y con diferentes tipos de textos (i.e., continuos y no continuos). El test ha sido baremado con una muestra de 1.854 estudiantes pertenecientes a cinco comunidades autónomas. Los resultados muestran que consta de propiedades psicométricas de fiabilidad, homogeneidad y validez satisfactorias.
The Reading Literacy test for Secondary Education (CompLEC). A new test to evaluate reading literacy, the Test of Reading Literacy for Secondary Education (CompLEC) is presented. CompLEC is based on the PISA assessment framework and new definitions of reading literacy. The test, easy to apply and score, assesses the level of reading literacy of children between 11 and 14 years of age in several reading situations (i.e., public, educational, personal and occupational) and with different types of texts (i.e., continuous and non-continuous). The scale has been standardized with a sample of 1,854 students from five different Spanish regions. Empirical results show that CompLEC is a homogeneous, reliable and valid instrument.
