Vaka Çalışması: Okuma Güçlüğü Çeken Okurların Interaktif Dijital Kitap ile OkumaYazma Tecrübeleri

Okuma testlerinde, standart beklentilerin bir veya daha fazla seviye altında puan alan öğrenciler okuma güçlüğü çeken öğrenciler olarak tanımlanır. Okuma güçlüğü çeken öğrenciler, okuma-yazma faaliyetlerini destekleyen etkili uygulamalar kullanıldığında okuma testlerinde başarılı olmaya meyilliler. Son zamanlarda, teknoloji kullanımı okuma güçlüğü çeken öğrencilere modern okuma eğitimi olarak verilen en popüler uygulamalardan biridir. Bu çalışmada, altı 3. sınıf okuma güçlüğü çeken öğrencinin interaktif dijital kitaplar ile deneyimleri incelenmiştir. Veri kaynakları olarak yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler, dökümanlar ve alan notları kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışma, her okuma güçlüğü çeken öğrencinin ihtiyacına yönelik özel bir okuma-yazma müfredatına ihtiyaç duyulduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucuna göre, interaktif dijital kitaplar, yetişkin yönlendirmesinin ve kullanılan kitabın kalitesine bağlı olarak, öğrenciler için teşvik edici veya cesaret kırıcı olabilmektedir.

A Case Study: Literacy Experiences of Struggling Readers with Interactive Digital Books

Students who score one or more grade levels below thestandard expectations in reading tests are defined as strugglingreaders. Struggling readers tend to succeed in reading assessmentswhen effective interventions are integrated to support their literacypractices. Recently, technology use has been one of the most popularinterventions in contemporary reading instruction for strugglingreaders. In this study, experiences of six 3rd grade struggling readerswithin tutoring sessions to explore their experiences with interactivedigital boks are examined. Data collection sources included semi–structured interviews, document collection, and field notes. This studyrevealed that every struggling reader needs a special literacycurriculum with strategies that are unique to their needs. The findingsalso suggested that interactive digital books might be eitherencouraging or discouraging for students depending on the quality ofdigital books and adult guidance.
