Multiple text integration is a challenging task, but it is essential for studying and developing digital literacy, and is therefore critical to promote among students. However, the conditions that may support multiple text integration for different reader profiles have not been thoroughly studied. Therefore, based on single text research, the current study examined whether adding reading comprehension questions in-between texts would improve subsequent text integration for good versus poor readers. Another aim was to assess multiple text integration of complementary texts, where information does not conflict, but supplements, and to examine separately two components of integration: selecting the relevant information and forming inter-text links. Two experiments were carried out: in the first, 124 university students read multiple texts with or without embedded multiple-choice questions. Results showed that adding comprehension questions promoted inter-text links, but hindered references to single text ideas. In the second experiment, 59 university students read multiple texts paired with either open-ended questions or multiple-choice questions embedded between texts. Open-ended questions resulted in higher integration scores compared to multiple-choice questions only among participants with low comprehension scores. Overall, reading comprehension skills uniquely contributed to text integration. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

多种文本集成是一项艰巨的任务，但对于学习和发展数字素养至关重要，因此对于在学生中进行推广至关重要。但是，可能尚未针对支持不同阅读器配置文件的多个文本集成的条件进行深入研究。因此，基于单个文本研究，当前的研究检查了在文本之间添加阅读理解问题是否会改善随后的文本整合，无论是好读者还是差读者。另一个目的是评估补充文本的多种文本集成，在这种情况下信息不会冲突，而是相互补充，并分别检查集成的两个组成部分：选择相关信息和形成文本间链接。进行了两个实验：在第一个实验中，124名大学生阅读有或没有嵌入多项选择题的多篇课文。结果表明，添加理解问题会促进文本间的链接，但会阻碍对单个文本思想的引用。在第二个实验中，有59名大学生阅读了多篇课文，这些课文与开放式问题或课文之间嵌入的多项选择题配对。与仅在理解分数较低的参与者中进行的多项选择题相比，开放式问题导致的综合分数更高。总体而言，阅读理解技能对文字整合起到了独特的作用。讨论了理论和实践意义。59名大学生阅读了多篇课文，并在课文之间插入了开放式问题或多项选择题。与仅在理解分数较低的参与者中进行的多项选择题相比，开放式问题导致的综合分数更高。总体而言，阅读理解技能对文字整合起到了独特的作用。讨论了理论和实践意义。59名大学生阅读多篇课文，并在课文之间插入开放式问题或多项选择题。与仅在理解分数较低的参与者中进行的多项选择题相比，开放式问题导致的综合分数更高。总体而言，阅读理解技能对文字整合起到了独特的作用。讨论了理论和实践意义。
