TÜRK ÖĞRENCİLERİN KİTAP OKUMAMA SORUNUNA ÇÖZÜM ÖNERİLERİ

Öz

Yaşamakta olduğumuz bilgi çağının teknolojik ürünleri her geçen gün hayatımızda
varlıklarını giderek daha fazla hissettirmektedirler. Bu ürünlerin, çok önemli ve
vazgeçilmez faydalarının ve sağladıkları kolaylıkların yanında haberleşme, araştırma,
taşınabilirlik, konfor vb. görmezden gelemeyeceğimiz birçok olumsuz yönleri de yok
değildir. Özellikle, bilgisayar ve internete olan erişim kolaylığı en çok genç kuşakları
esareti altına almakta, birbirinden çekici grafik, içerik ve tasarımlarıyla sayısız
bilgisayar oyunu ve web siteleri genç kullanıcıları kendilerine bir mıknatıs gibi
çekmekte ve onları ekran başına kilitlemektedir. Bununla birlikte boyutları kibrit kutusu
ve okul tahtası arasında değişen dijital pencereler tarafından saatlerce hipnotize edilen
gençlerimiz ne yazık ki giderek daha az kitap okumaktadırlar. Bilgi çağını bilgisizce
yaşayan, zamanlarının büyük bir bölümünü sanal ortamlarda geçiren ve kendilerine
yarınlarımızı teslim edeceğimiz genç nesli bu bağımlılıktan kurtarmak ve tekrar
okumaya sevk etmek akademisyenler, araştırmacılar, öğretmenler, anne ve babalar
olarak hepimize düşen bir görevdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı konu ile ilgili yapılan yeni
araştırmaları okur ile paylaşmak ve toplumun kültür düzeyini arttırmak amacıyla genç
kuşağa okumayı sevdirmek için yapılabilecekleri tartışmaktır. Makalenin sonunda
okuma alışkanlığının kazandırılması konusunda yapılmasında fayda görülenlerle ilgili
öneriler yer almaktadır.
