SINIF ÖĞRETMENLERİNİN SESLİ OKUMAYA YÖNELİK GÖRÜŞLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Developing reading skill that is one of the basic language skills in primary school years is important for a student to become a good reader in the following years. When the literature is examined, it can be seen that there are many methods to improve reading skills such as reading comprehension, reading fluency, and reading motivation. Reading aloud is one of these methods. Primary school teachers can read aloud to their students, and students can read aloud in class so that their friends and teachers can hear them. While reading aloud, teachers become a model for their students, stop reading at the appropriate points during reading by making explanations, ask questions, talk about the answers given by their students, and this interactive process can improve students' reading skills. This research aims to reveal the opinions of primary school teachers about reading aloud in the context of both reading aloud to their students and students’ reading aloud, and the types of activities they have done about reading aloud. The study group of the research consists of 452 primary school teachers, 316 of whom are female and 136 of whom are male, working in Ankara and are in different grade levels. Research data were collected through a questionnaire prepared by the researcher. As a result of the analysis of the answers given by the teachers to the questions, it was revealed that the teachers found reading aloud activities essential, and even if they did reading aloud with different methods, they did not performed these activities in a way to contribute to the development of students' reading skills.
