AİLELERİN, ÇOCUKLARIYLA BİRLİKTE GERÇEKLEŞTİRDİKLERİ OKUMA AKTİVİTELERİNİN DÜZEYİNİ BELİRLEME

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı, ebeveynlerin sosyoekonomik statülerine SES göre okul öncesi dönemdeki çocuklarının okuryazarlık becerilerini desteklemek için yaptıkları okuma aktivitelerinin düzeyini belirlemektir. Bu çalışma tarama modelinde tasarlanmış betimsel bir araştırmadır. Araştırmanın verileri, Saracho 2000 tarafından geliştirilen ve Güleç 2014 tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlanan “Aile İçinde Okuryazarlık Gelişimi Ölçeği FLQ ” ile toplanmıştır. Ölçeğin başında ailelerin sosyoekonomik durumlarının saptanmasına yönelik olarak araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen demografik bilgi formu bulunmaktadır. Ailelerin, çocuklarıyla gerçekleştirdikleri okuma aktivitelerine ilişkin veriler tablolarda yüzde % ve frekans n değerleri olarak sunulmuştur. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre alt ve üst sosyoekonomik statüdeki ailelerin, çocuklarıyla birlikte yaptıkları okuma aktivitelerinin düzeylerinin farklı olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
