Reading is a part of our daily lives. It is performed both for pleasure and information. Reading skills are important for the individuals since they foster comprehension in reading. If the students do not have knowledge of reading skills, they cannot be expected to be successful readers. Thus, they cannot achieve the level of comprehension required to pass exams in their own departments. For this reason, reading skills should be taught in universities for the students to be able to cope with comprehension problems. This case study aims to find out whether or not reading skills has a role on the reading comprehension ability of Turkish EFL students. This study is both a qualitative and a quantitative study which lasted for a duration of 14 weeks. Two groups were selected (experimental and control) among prep classes at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü Imam University. Both groups were administered a pre-test and questionnaire at the beginning of the study to find out if they were aware of reading skills. In addition, 10 students were chosen randomly for interview. During the study, reading skills were infused into the curriculum through designing lesson plans in accordance with the language content and topics for level C students, as determined by the Common European Language Framework. The lessons required the students to use reading skills before, during, and post reading. At the end of the study, the same questionnaire was re-administered. The students were given the post-test and then interviewed. The quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. The obtained data revealed that the students enhanced their comprehension ability provided that they were taught to use reading skills.

“…Ölçeğin güvenirlik analizlerinde Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık güvenirlik katsayısının .70'ten büyük (Celik, Akin ve Saricam, 2014;Nunnally, 1974;Saricam ve Canatan, 2015) olması iç tutarlık güvenirliğinin psikolojik testlerde kabul edilebilir olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca test tekrar test güvenirliği için iki uygulama arası korelasyon değerinin .70'ten büyük olması korelasyon değeri olarak yüksek düzeyde ilişkiyi (Alper, 2006) göstermekte olup ölçeğin tutarlılığının iyi olduğunun da göstergesidir.…”

Araştırma kapsamına yaşları 18 ile 39 arasında değişen üç farklı çalışma grubunda yer alan toplam 416 (252+154+110) katılımcı alınmıştır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonuçlarına göre SMKBÖ'nün Türkçe formunun orijinalindeki gibi tek boyuta sahip olduğu ve bu tek boyutlu yapının ölçtüğü özellikle ilgili toplam varyansın %64'ünü açıkladığı görülmüştür. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucu ölçeğin uyum iyiliği değerleri χ 2 /sd=1.94

“…As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, it was seen that the five‐factor structure was confirmed on the high school sample ( χ 2 = 123.49, df = 88 ( χ 2 / df = 1.40), RMSEA = 0.03, NFI = 0.97, CFI = 0.99, SRMR = 0.041). The reliability analysis revealed that the internal consistency coefficient of the scale was α = 0.86 (Çelik et al, 2014 ). In the present study, the internal consistency coefficient was calculated as α = 0.84.…”

The present study aims to investigate the mediator role of educational stress in the relationship between intolerance to uncertainty and academic life satisfaction among teenagers. The sample consisted of 257 female and 202 male high school students with an average age of 16.03 (SD = 1.21) continuing their education in the spring semester of the 2020−2021 academic year in Turkey. The data were collected via an online survey. Analyses revealed that intolerance of uncertainty directly and indirectly via educational stress affects the academic life satisfaction of teenagers. Educational stress partially mediates the relationship. It was also found that the full mediation model has a good fit with the data. The academic life satisfaction of teenagers was harmed by their tendencies in tolerating the uncertainties they have been facing during the COVID‐19 pandemic and elevated levels of educational stress.
