An Analysis of the Questions Asked by Preschool Teachers During Dialogic Reading Based on the CROWD Technique

Öz

The present study aimed to classify the questions asked by preschool teachers in the dialogic reading practice according to the "CROWD" technique of the dialogic reading practice. Accordingly, the study utilized the basic interpretive qualitative research design. A total of 18 preschool teachers working in Yozgat province were included in the study utilizing convenience case sampling. The questions produced by preschool teachers during dialogic reading were analyzed by descriptive analysis according to the "CROWD" technique in the following categories: “Completion questions (C), Recall questions (R), Open-ended questions (O), Wh- Questions (W), and Distancing Questions (D) connection to life questions” were analyzed by descriptive analysis. The results revealed that preschool teachers could not produce completion questions in almost all of the books they read interactively, while they could produce recall, open-ended, Wh- Questions, and connection questions. It was also determined that preschool teachers utilized the open-ended question type of the CROWD technique in most of the books they read interactively.

Okul Öncesi Öğretmenlerinin Etkileşimli Okuma Uygulamasında Sordukları Soruların CROWD Tekniğine Göre İncelenmesi

Öz

Çalışmada, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin etkileşimli okuma uygulamasında sordukları soruları, etkileşimli okuma uygulamasının "CROWD" tekniğine göre sınıflandırmak amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla çalışmada, temel yorumlayıcı nitel araştırma deseninden faydalanılmıştır. Çalışmaya Yozgat ilinde çalışmakta olan 18 okul öncesi öğretmeni uygun durum örneklemesi ile dâhil edilmiştir. Okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin etkileşimli okuma esnasında ürettikleri sorular "CROWD" tekniğine göre “Complete (C) tamamlama soruları, Recall (R) hatırlama soruları, Open-ended (O) açık uçlu sorular, Wh. Questions (W) 5N 1K soruları ve Distancing Questions (D) yaşamla bağlantı sorularına” göre betimsel analiz ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda; okul öncesi öğretmenlerininin etkileşimli olarak okudukları kitapların tamamına yakınında tamamlama sorusu (C) üretemez iken hatırlama (R), açık uçlu (O), 5N 1K (W) ve bağlantı (D) sorularını üretebildikleri tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanında okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin etkileşimli olarak okudukları kitapların çoğunda CROWD tekniğinin açık uçlu (O) soru türünden faydalandıkları belirlenmiştir.
