In this second study, I continue my research into the learning processes of reading in Japanese classrooms as an educational assessment process using the Performance Assessment. I also consider the Public Assessment Standard as a measure of the quality of the performance and the quality of the recognition process, to improve overall competency.
The quality of performances in reading, namely “a child’s thought and expression” is connected with the model (style) of “deep reading”. In this paper, based on the third version of the reading that I investigated using three models in my previous study, I examine the narrative process for giving form to the text, and propose a plan regarding perspectives for assessment in accordance with this version of the reading hierarchy.
