The aim of the study is to analyze the correlation between study habits and attitudes and metacognitive readingcomprehension self-awareness, reading comprehension and reading attitude of fifth-grade students. 313 students (193female, 188 male) consisted the sample group of the study using relational screening model. SSHA-Survey of StudyHabits and Attitudes, Form C”, “Metacognitive Reading Comprehension Self-Awareness Scale”, “ReadingComprehension” and, “Reading Attitudes Scale” were used. Moreover, students’ level of Turkish course success hasbeen identified by their grades from school reports of the first term of fifth grade. As the result of the study, it wasfound that the study orientation scores of the students were higher than the average and that their study attitudes werehigher than their studying habits. There was a mid-scale, positive and significant correlation between thesub-dimensions of their studying attitudes and habits. The levels of correlation between students’ success in Turkishcourse and their study orientation; between their metacognitive awareness of reading comprehension, readingcomprehension and studying habits with their studying orientation; between their metacognitive awareness of readingcomprehension, reading comprehension and reading attitude with study orientation, and between their metacognitiveawareness of reading comprehension and reading attitude with their study attitudes was found to be positive, mid-scaleand significant. However, the level of correlation between their metacognitive awareness of reading comprehensionand reading comprehension was found to be positive, low-scale and significant.
In this study, primary school first grade students' reading skills and visual perception levels were investigated. Sample of the study, which was designed with relational scanning model, consisted of 168 first grade students studying at three public primary schools in Kozlu, Zonguldak, in 2013-2014 education year. Students' reading level, reading comprehension, reading errors were determined by "The Informal Reading Inventory", and their visual perception levels were determined with "Developmental Test of Visual Perception-2". Data was coded in SPSS version 22.0. As a result of the study, the majority of students was identified at the level of anxiety while thirty four students was identified at the instructional level, it was also seen that there was no student at an independent level. Instructional level students had higher reading speeds and reading comprehension than anxiety level students significantly. Anxiety level students had higher reading error rates than instructional level students significantly. It was seen that instructional level students having higher reading levels had significantly higher general visual, motor-independent, and visual-motor perception than anxiety level students. While anxiety level students were above average, instructional level students are superior all visual perception abilities.There is a positive meaningful relationship between the all levels of visual perception, and reading speed, reading comprehension. As first grade students' general visual perception, motor-independent visual perception, and visual-motor perception scores increased, reading speed and reading comprehension increased, reading error scores decreased.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
