The Effect of Literature Circles on Reading Comprehension Skills

Bu araştırmanın amacı, okuma çemberinin ilköğretim beşinci sınıf öğrencilerinin okuduğunu anlama becerilerine etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırmada ön-test - son-test kontrol gruplu deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırma İstanbul ili Maltepe ilçesinde bir ilköğretim okulunun 67 beşinci sınıf öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Bu öğrencilerin 34'ü deney, 33'ü ise kontrol grubundadır. Veriler, "Okuduğunu Anlama Ölçeği" kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Ön-test ve son-test uygulama sonuçlarına göre deney grubunda okuduğunu anlama becerisi, kontrol grubuna göre, anlamlı düzeyde daha fazla artış göstermiştir. Bu artış, deney öncesi okuduğunu anlama becerisi düşük olanlarda, yüksek olanlara göre daha fazla gerçekleşmiştir
