Abstract
This study aims to develop a cognitive diagnostic assessment (cda) for the primary-level reading comprehension assessment. The cda can evaluate students’ cognitive learning strengths and weaknesses and help identify potential intervention areas for students with learning challenges. This study involved five experienced primary english teachers and 900 year 4 primary school pupils. Qualitative data was collected via a think-aloud interview session, and quantitative data was collected through paper and pencil tests. Three phases were involved in developing cda, phase i: identification of attributes, development of attribute hierarchy, and item design. Meanwhile, phase ii involved two stages: assessment administration and statistical analysis of the data collected using the gdina model. The panel of english teachers reviewed the learning objectives and outcomes specified in the english year 4 curriculum specifications, the high-stake examination (upsr) and textbook items to identify and describe the relevant cognitive attributes and their hierarchy and developed the cognitive processing model.
