In 2022, a cross-sectional study was conducted to assess elementary students' online inquiry competences (OCI) within a quasi-realistic context. Our diagnostic framework encompasses a spectrum of information challenges within the natural sciences, stratified by grade level (i.e., 4th, 6th, and 8th grades), question category (i.e., closed-ended, descriptive, causal explanation, verification, prediction, difficulty (i.e., easy, intermediate, difficult), and generalization), and challenge type (i.e., open-ended response and source evaluation). To engage students in the diagnostic process while maintaining control over the information resources accessed during the search sessions, we used the Trivia game [1], powered by the NEURONE ecosystem [2]. Accordingly, both the challenges and the repository of information resources (e.g., web pages, images, and videos) were loaded onto the Trivia platform. This facilitated an experiential learning environment for students, simulating search experiences similar to those provided by contemporary search engines such as Google and Bing. The diagnostic was administered to 169 students from three public schools and 110 students from a private educational institution within the metropolitan area of Chile. This work presents the resulting dataset, which encompasses behavioral, affective, and cognitive data derived from 1055 search sessions.

ABSTRACT Reading levels in primary education students are still deficient in Chile, despite the development of reading promoting iniciatives. Moreover, teaching practices of reading are present a low cognitive challenge. Therefore, the objective of the research was to evaluate the reading comprehension and attitudes of the 4th, 5th and 6th grade students of public schools. Regarding to the methodology, was descriptive and quantitative, the sample was representative and it was composed by 18 public schools of the Araucanía, whose students (n=1.197 approx.) were given a reading comprehension assessment and a reading attitudes survey. Among the results, it was identified that the performance of the students is low and it decreases along with their reading attitudes as they pass the course. In addition, there is a low magnitude correlation between their performance and their reading attitudes.
