Abstract


Na literatura têm sido discutidos diversos fatores que podem influenciar a dificuldade das tarefas de compreensão de textos e, consequentemente, o desempenho dos sujeitos na avaliação. O objetivo deste estudo é perceber se a dificuldade das tarefas de avaliação da compreensão de textos varia em função da modalidade da tarefa de avaliação (oral versus escrita), do tipo de texto (narrativo versus informativo) e do tipo de compreensão avaliado pelas perguntas apresentadas (literal versus inferencial). Avaliaram-se 300 alunos do quarto ano de escolaridade, administrando quatro testes de compreensão de textos: Teste de compreensão de textos na modalidade oral-narrativo, Teste de compreensão de textos na modalidade oral-informativo, Teste de compreensão de textos na modalidade de leitura-narrativo, Teste de compreensão de textos na modalidade de leitura-informativo. Os resultados mostraram a inexistência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas na média da dificuldade das perguntas de compreensão oral e de compreensão da leitura, entre a dificuldade média das perguntas relativas a texto narrativo e informativo e entre a média da dificuldade das perguntas de compreensão literal e inferencial. Não foram observados efeitos de interação. Discutem-se as implicações destes resultados para a avaliação e intervenção no domínio da compreensão de textos, tendo em conta algumas limitações deste estudo.
