Evidence¶

Bulut 2017¶

Aydın Bulut. (2017). Improving 4th Grade Primary School Students' Reading Comprehension Skills. Universal Journal of Educational Research 5(1): 23-30. https://doi.org/10.13189/ujer.2017.050103

q2 · i? · design · r2

Observation-form data (coded by SQ3R stages) collected during the ten-week intervention. The authors observed students preparing with prior knowledge, visuals and keywords; two students relied on only one image instead of combining visual elements.

"With the exception of two of them, Umut and Güler, the students were able to implement the Survey stage in their reading process. Umut and Güler also had some problems in reading the v isual cues."

Bulut 2017 (2)¶

q2 · i? · design · r2

Observation data on the Question stage of SQ3R during the intervention. Students' predictions and question formulation from visuals were weaker than the authors anticipated.

"The success of this stage was found to not be as high as expected. At this stage, some students made predictions and created questions from only one image. Some students described the images as they appeared instead of formulating and answering questions."

Bulut 2017 (3)¶

q2 · i? · design · r2

Observation data on the Recite stage: reciting and summarizing exercises after reading. Students were bored during writing exercises and had problems relating written answers to their oral repetitions.

"After these exercises, all the students had m ade prog ress in their recitation skills, apart from U muta nd Şevva l. U mut and Şevval wer e b elow the expected level at this st age. In writing exercises about what they had been orally repeating, only about half of the written answers were found to be succe ssful."
