Abstract
Reading is an important instrument that guides the individual on the way to learning. Comprehension, on the other hand, is a situation which is desired and expected to be attained as a result of reading. Therefore, the point where reading must reach is comprehension and correct interpretation of what is read. The aim of this study is to determine the level of reading anxiety and reading comprehension self-efficacy perception of 5th grade students and to set forth the relationships between these concepts if any. The sample group of the study consisted of 5th grade students studying in a secondary school randomly selected in the east in 2017-2018 school year. The data were collected using “Scale of Belief Self-Efficacy Reading Comprehension” developed by Epcacan and Demirel (2011) and “Reading Anxiety Scale” developed by Celikturk and Yamac (2015). According to the results obtained, reading anxiety levels of the students were found to be high. In addition, it was found that there were significant correlations between reading anxiety and self-efficacy perception for reading. Article visualizations:
