Abstract

This study, which examines the factors affecting reading comprehension from various perspectives, is a literature review. Accordingly, research and review articles on reading comprehension skill, factors affecting reading comprehension, reading comprehension barriers in Google Academic, ULAKBİM, YÖK Academic, Web of Science, ERIC, Proquest database were scanned and the variables affecting reading comprehension skills were scanned. Determined and the effects of these variables on the reading comprehension process are explained. According to the results of the literature review; Six factors affecting reading comprehension, namely reading comprehension strategies, vocabulary knowledge, fluent reading, text type and text type awareness, affective qualities of reading, metacognitive reading strategies, were determined and these factors were explained with various dimensions. One of the results obtained from the research is that the main difference that distinguishes competent readers from weak readers is their ability to use these six factors consciously, to organize the reading process accordingly, and to use these factors in a timely and effective manner in the reading process. In addition, it has been concluded that the six factors determined have a direct effect on the reading comprehension skill, are related to each other, and have features that can be taught and gained to students.

Okuduğunu Anlamayı Etkileyen Etmenlere Yönelik Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Okuduğunu anlamayı etkileyen etmenlerin çeşitli açılardan incelendiği bu çalışma, bir alanyazın derlemesi niteliği taşımaktadır. Buna göre Google Akademik, ULAKBİM, YÖK Akademik, Web of Science, ERIC, Proquest veri tabanı üzerinde bulunan okuduğunu anlama becerisi, okuduğunu anlamayı etkileyen etmenler, okuduğunu anlama engelleri konulu araştırma ve derleme makaleleri taranarak okuduğunu anlama becerisini etkileyen değişkenler belirlenmiş ve bu değişkenlerin okuduğunu anlama sürecindeki etkileri açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Alanyazın derlemesinin sonucuna göre; okuduğunu anlama stratejileri, sözcük bilgisi, akıcı okuma, metin türü ve metin türü farkındalığı, okumanın duyuşsal nitelikleri, üstbilişsel okuma stratejileri olmak üzere okuduğunu anlamayı etkileyen altı etmen belirlenmiş ve bu etmenler çeşitli boyutlarıyla açıklanmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlardan biri, yetkin okurları zayıf okurlardan ayıran temel farkın bu altı etmeni bilinçli bir biçimde kullanabilme, okuma sürecini buna göre düzenleyebilme ve okuma sürecinde bu etmenleri zamanında ve etkili bir biçimde kullanabilme becerileri olduğu yönündedir. Öte yandan belirlenen altı etmenin okuduğunu anlama becerisi üzerinde doğrudan etkili olduğu, birbirleriyle ilişkili nitelikte olduğu ve her bir etmenin öğretilebilir, öğrencilere kazandırılabilir özellikler taşıdığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
