Öğrenme Güçlüğü Olan Öğrencilerin Okuma Hızlarının Metinlerde Karşılaştırılması

Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğrenme güçlüğü olan öğrencilerin okuma hızlarını bildikleri ve bilmedikleri öykü ve masalllarda karşılaştırmaktır. Araştırma, Gazi Üniversitesi Prof. Dr. Necmettin Akyıldız İşitme, Konuşma, Ses ve Denge Bozuklukları Tanı, Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon Merkezi (GÜSİDEM) Zihinsel Engelli Çocuklar Eğitim ve Araştırma Birimi’ne devam eden öğrenme güçlüğü tanısı konmuş önkoşul becerileri gerçekleştiren iki erkek öğrenci ile yapılmıştır. Bağımsız değişkenlerin etkisi tek denekli desenlerden A-B-A-B modeli kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Öğrencilerin bildikleri öykü ve masalları okurken okuma hızlarının arttığı bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin akıcı okuma becerisini kazanmaları için Türkçe kitaplarında öğrencilerin bildikleri öykü ve masallara yer verilmesi ve öğretmenlerin okuma öncesinde metni öğrencilerle tartışması önerilmiştir.

Comparisons of the Reading Speeds of the Students with Learning Difficulties Through Texts

The purpose of this study is to compare the reading speeds of students with learning difficulties through familiar and unfamiliar stories and tales. The study was carried out with two male students diagnosed with learning difficulties who meet the required level of skill and attending the Gazi University Prof. Dr. Necmettin Akyıldız Hearing, Speech, Voice and Balance Disorders Diagnosis Intervention and Rehabilitation Center (GÜSİDEM) Training and Research Unit for Mentally Retarded Children. The effect of the independent variables were studied through an A-B-A-B model single subject design. It was observed that the reading speeds of the students increase while they are reading familiar stories and tales. It is suggested that stories and tales familiar to the students be included amongst the Turkish texts and that the teachers discuss the relevant text with the students before reading to enable them to acquire fluent reading skills.
