Sažetak
Reading comprehension is an indicator of reading literacy and it is also significantly related to the process of learning and students’ academic outcomes. There are different cognitive, metacognitive, motivational and emotional factors which contribute to reading comprehension. In our study 885 5th and 9th grade primary school students were included. We proposed two confirmatory models of reading comprehension, one for younger and one for older students. Several factors were included in the models: (meta)cognitive factors (vocabulary, summarizing, and metacognitive reading knowledge), motivational factors (reading interest and reading competency), and emotional factors (feelings during reading). We confirmed both of the models, for younger and older students. Models show direct effects of (meta)cognitive factors and indirect effects of motivational- emotional factors on students' reading comprehension. Important implications for educational praxis were discussed.
