Abstract

Sınıf duvarlarının kelimelerle canlandırıldığı “Etkileşimli Kelime Duvarları” ilkokul düzeyinde yaygın kullanılan uygulamalardan biridir. Dil öğretimi derslerinde, kelime hazinesini zenginleştirme, okuma akıcılığı ve kelime tanıma düzeyini artırma, yazma becerilerini geliştirme amacıyla bir öğretim aracı olarak  kullanılmaktadır. Yalnızca dil dersleri ve ilkokul düzeyinde kalmayıp üst kademelerde fen, matematik ve sosyal bilgiler gibi çeşitli derslerde kelime ve kavram öğretiminde de uygulanmaktadır. Yurt dışında yapılan çeşitli araştırmalar etkileşimli kelime duvarlarına ilginin giderek artığını göstermekle birlikte ülkemizde henüz bu konuda bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı etkileşimli kelime duvarlarının bir öğretim aracı olarak sınıfta nasıl ve hangi amaçlarla kullanılabileceği hakkında bilgi vermek, ilkokul düzeyinde uygulamaya yönelik etkinlikler sunmak ve yapılmış çeşitli çalışmalarla kelime duvarları hakkında araştırmacılara ve öğretmenlere ışık tutmaktır.
