Abstract
This study aims to find evidence that validates an unprecedented scale assessing metacognitive knowledge about digital reading, developed for PISA 2018. More precisely, the study investigates whether the scale measures metacognitive knowledge about reading as opposed to ICT literacy. Data from the 37 OECD countries were used. The results show strong correlation between this metacognitive knowledge scale, reading performance, and two scales which have already been validated for measuring metacognition about reading. The scale is also significantly correlated with students’ interest, self-concept, and self-efficacy in reading. On the other hand, no correlation was shown between their use of ICT, and their interest and perceived self-efficacy in their use. The results provide evidence that the scale assesses metacognitive knowledge about digital reading rather than digital literacy. The results also demonstrate a strong correlation between the scale and reading proficiency.

Résumé
Cette étude vise à valider une échelle de mesure des connaissances métacognitives de la lecture numérique inédite, développée pour le PISA 2018 et, plus particulièrement, à établir si cette échelle mesure des connaissances relevant de la lecture plutôt que de la littératie numérique. Les données des 37 pays de l’OCDE ont été utilisées. Les résultats montrent que l’échelle de connaissances métacognitives présente une forte corrélation avec les performances en lecture et avec deux échelles ayant subi un processus de validation de la mesure de la métacognition en lecture. Cette échelle est aussi significativement liée à l’intérêt des élèves, à leur concept de soi et à leur sentiment d’efficacité en lecture, mais n’est pas liée avec leur utilisation des TIC, leur intérêt ou leur sentiment d’efficacité perçue dans ce domaine. Les résultats appuient le fait que l’échelle mesure des connaissances relevant de la lecture plutôt que de la littératie numérique et mettent en évidence une corrélation robuste entre les connaissances métacognitives et les performances en lecture.

Resumo
Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar os indícios de validade de u m a escala inédita de medida de conhecimentos metacognitivos da leitura digital, desenvolvida para o PISA 2018 e, mais especificamente, verificar se essa escala mede conhecimentos mais relacionados com a leitura do que com a literacia digital. Foram usados dados de 37 países da OCDE. As correlações mostram que a escala de conhecimentos metacognitivos está fortemente correlacionada com o desempenho em leitura e com duas escalas de medição de metacognição de leitura validadas. Está também significativamente relacionada com o interesse dos alunos, o seu autoconceito e o seu sentimento de eficácia em leitura, mas não está relacionada com a utilização das TIC, o seu interesse ou o seu sentimento de eficácia percebido neste domínio. Os resultados validam o facto de que a escala mede conhecimentos mais relacionados com a leitura do que com a literacia digital e demonstra uma correlação robusta dos conhecimentos metacognitivos com os desempenhos em leitura.
