Evaluation of reading comprehension in incoming engineering students

Abstract

The research in question evaluated the reading comprehension in students of the last semester of Industrial Engineering through a quantitative methodological through a quantitative methodological approach. The study was carried out with a sample of 43 students sample of 43 students, divided into two groups, using the Cloze instrument called “Spatial Cloze's instrument called “Spatial Relations”, which consists of 308 words, with a of 308 words, with a reliability level of 90%. The findings indicated that the overall mean of reading comprehension was 82.19%, in which Group 2 exhibited a slightly higher performance.
