İLKOKUL DÖRDÜNCÜ SINIF ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN OKUDUĞUNU ANLAMA BECERİLERİNİN ÜZERİNDE KONUŞMA VE OKUMA PROZODİSİNİN ETKİSİ

Bu araştırmada ilkokul dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin okuduğunu anlama becerileri üzerinde konuşma ve okuma prozodilerinin etkileri araştırılmıştır. Araştırma sürecine toplam 97 ilkokul dördüncü sınıf öğrencisi dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırmada öğrencilerin bireysel hikâye anlatımları bağlamında konuşma prozodileri ve yazılı bir metne bağlı olarak sesli okumaları doğrultusunda ise okuma prozodileri değerlendirilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları araştırmada toplanan veriye bağlı olarak okuma ve konuşma prozodisinin okuduğunu anlamanın %39 varyansını açıkladığını göstermiştir. Yine standardize edilmiş regresyon kat sayıları göz önünde bulundurulduğunda okuma prozodisinin konuşma prozodisinden daha fazla okuduğunu anlamanın yordanmasına katkıda bulunduğu görülmüştür. Bu sonuçlar konuşma prozodisinin anlama sürecini kolaylaştıran ve okuma eğitimi sürecinde dikkate alınması gereken bir beceri olduğunu göstermektedir.

THE EFFECTS OF SPEECH PROSODY AND TEXT READING PROSODY IN FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION

The current study aimed to investigate to which extend variances in reading comprehension scores were explained by speech prosody and text reading prosody. The research sample of the study consisted of a total of 97 fourthgrade elementary school students. In the study, speech prosody was assessed using a storytelling task and text reading prosody by oral text reading performance. The results showed that text reading prosody and speech prosody together explained 39% of variance in reading comprehension. Given the standardized regression coefficients of the variables in the model, text reading prosody made more statistically significant contribution to the prediction of reading comprehension than speech prosody did. Considering the results of the study, speech prosody needs to be taken into account and seems to facilitate the making meaning in written language.
