Abstract

Digital media have become an integral part of everyday life of schoolchildren. They are not only used for transferring teaching content, but also in the context of school performance records. For the administration of well-established school performance tests and the calculation of test scores it would be desirable if these are available in a digital format. However, are test results based on paper-pencil-format comparable to those of a digital test? To answer this question, we digitalized existing German standardized tests for assessing reading comprehension (Diagnosis of progress in reading comprehension, VSL), decoding speed (Wuerzburger Silent Reading Test-Revised, WLLP-R), and writing (Weingarten spelling test for basic vocabulary, WRT 3+/4+) and embedded them in a child-friendly cover story. A total of 237 children from 3rd and 4th grade from the German federal states Bavaria and Hesse made these tests first in a digital (via an app for tablet or smartphone) and then in a paper-pencil version. The results show a strong relationship between the performances in the two test formats, which can be interpreted in different ways. Strengths and limitations of digitalized school performance tests are discussed.
