Evidence¶

Erkan Cer & Ertugrul Sahin 2017¶

Erkan Cer & Ertugrul Sahin. (2017). The Effects of Quality Books for Children and the Metacognitive Strategy on Students’ Self-Esteem Levels. Journal of Education and Learning, 6(1). https://doi.org/10.5539/jel.v6n1p72

q1 · i? · causal · r1

Authors' interpretation in the Discussion section, not a tested result: they suggest control-group books hindered students from thinking critically, creatively, and analytically and may have made them passive participants, citing prior work on book appropriateness.

"Another reason may be that books used in the control group from the 100 Classic Works were not appropriate for their developmental and age levels (Children’s and Youth Literature Practice and Research Center, 2016) because these books prioritized Turkish customs, traditions, and Islamic values"
