Abstract
<p style="text-align:justify">The purpose of this research is to examine the correlation between the attitude towards reading and the perception of creative reading. The sample group of the study, in which the correlational survey model among the qualitative research designs was conducted, consists of 319 students studying at fourth grade in primary schools. The scale for the perception of creative reading generated by Yurdakal and Susar Kirmizi and the scale for the attitude towards reading formed by Yurdakal and Susar Kirmizi were applied in collecting data for the research. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Analysis and Simple and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis were implemented for the analysis of data in the study. When the data obtained from the analyses were examined, it was observed that there was a positive and high correlation between the attitude scale towards reading and its sub-dimensions. Likewise, a positive and high correlation was determined between the perception of creative reading scale and its sub-dimensions. As the attitude towards reading increases, the perception of creative reading decreases. This finding is similar for all the sub-dimensions in the scales. It was also comprehended that the attitude towards reading was a predictor of the perception of creative reading and that there were significant correlations between the perception of creative reading and the sub-dimensions of contributions, meaning, activities, and process of reading. Along with these variables, the attitude towards reading explains the perception of creative reading at a total level of 13%.</p>
Highlights
Creative reading is a process stimulating the mental activities of the student and reveals itself in all types of in-class activities (Williams, 1947, p. 456)
The first sub-question of the study is “what kind of correlation is there between the attitude towards reading and the perception of creative reading?”, and Table 1 represents the data related to the general and sub-dimensions of the scale for the attitudes towards reading and their perceptions of creative reading of the students in primary school
It was determined that there was a positive and high-level correlation between the scale for the attitude towards reading and its sub-dimensions and that a positive and high-level correlation existed between the scale for the perception of creative reading and its sub-dimensions
Summary
Creative reading is a process stimulating the mental activities of the student and reveals itself in all types of in-class activities (Williams, 1947, p. 456). Creative reading is a process stimulating the mental activities of the student and reveals itself in all types of in-class activities In this regard, creative reading is a type of reading that is involuntarily used in in-class reading activities. The individual, as in all other fields, even relatively uses his/her creative power in educational activities. Creative reading is the process of creating/producing a new interpretation for himself/herself by using the past experiences and analytical thinking processes of the reader. This process occasionally comprises interrogation and judgment (Nardelli & Nardelli, 1955)
