Abstract

Bu araştırmada, ilkokul öğrencilerine okuma kültürü edindirme ve onların kişilik gelişimini desteklemek için çocuk edebiyatı eserlerindeki bibliyoterapi unsurlarının nasıl belirlenebileceğine yönelik bir uygulama yapılmıştır. Bunun için ilkokul öğrencilerinin seviyesine uygun ve gerek derslerde gerekse ders dışında eserleri okunan Mevlâna İdris Zengin’in çocuk edebiyatı eserlerindeki bibliyoterapi unsurları incelenmiş ve ortaya çıkan unsurlar ilkokul öğrencilerinin okuma kültürü ve kişilik gelişimine katkısı bağlamında değerlendirilmiştir. Bibliyoterapi unsurlarının belirlenebilmesi için alanyazın taranarak bibliyoterapi ölçütleri tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen ölçütlerin hangi gelişim alanıyla ilişkili olduğu 89 kişilik bir öğretmen grubunun görüşleri alınarak belirlenmiştir. Bibliyoterapi ölçütlerinin 25’i bilişsel gelişim, 17’si sosyal gelişim ve 7’si duygusal gelişim alanıyla ilişkili bulunmuştur. Yazarın 48 masal kitabındaki 58 masal bibliyoterapi unsurları dikkate alınarak incelenmiştir. Araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman incelemesi yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular betimsel analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Eserler, araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan Çocuk Edebiyatı Eserlerini Bibliyoterapi Ölçütlerine Göre Değerlendirme Formu aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. İncelemeler neticesinde 1041 bibliyoterapi unsuru tespit edilmiştir. Bunların 569’u bilişsel gelişim alanıyla, 349’u sosyal gelişim alanıyla, 123’ü duygusal gelişim alanıyla ilişkilidir. Araştırma sonunda ön plana çıkan unsurlar; üst düzey düşünme becerilerinin geliştirilmesi, yaşanan olaylara karşı farkındalığın artırılması, okuma becerisi ve alışkanlığı kazandırarak edebiyat sevgisinin desteklenmesi konularıdır. Bu bağlamda Mevlâna İdris Zengin’in masal kitaplarının bibliyoterapi çalışmalarında kullanılabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
