Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Denizli il merkezindeki farklı okullarda öğrenim göre 7. sınıflardaki 100 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Öğrencilerin akıcı okuma ve okuduğunu anlamalarının belirlenmesinde sınıf seviyelerine uygun hikâye edici ve bilgi verici metinler kullanılmıştır. Uygulamalarda her öğrenciye önce hikâye edici metin sesli olarak okutulmuş ve kaydedilmiş sonra metinle ilgili sorular verilerek cevaplaması istenmiştir. Aynı işlemler aynı öğrenciler ile bilgi verici metin üzerinde de gerçekleştirilmiştir. Okuduğunu anlamayı basit ve derinlemesine anlama boyutlarında ölçen sorulardan oluşan test araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilmiştir. Kaydedilen sesli okumalar akıcı okuma bileşenlerine göre analiz edilerek puanlama yapılmıştır. Puanlamada okuma hızı ve prozodik okuma olmak üzere üç farklı bileşen değerlendirilmiştir. Okuduğunu anlama testi basit anlama ve derinlemesine anlama puanı olarak puanlanmıştır. Yapılan analizlerden elde edilen bulgulara göre hem kız hem erkek öğrencilerde akıcı okuma ile okuduğunu anlama arasında anlamlı ve olumlu ilişkiler bulunmaktadır. Ancak bu ilişki cinsiyet bağlamında farklılık göstermemektedir. Elde edilen bu sonuçlar ilgili bilimsel literatür bağlamında tartışılmış ve gerekli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Comprehension Tests

Four different categories of reading tests are discussed with special attention to their relevance for reading comprehension. Diagnostic and phonic tests serve special functions, but pronunciation, or word tests are often assumed to be measures of comprehension. A detailed critique of one of these, the Schonell Graded Reading Test (R1) is presented and some explanations are suggested for the type of error usually made on this type of test. Several different types of comprehension tests exist, and these are discussed. A different comprehension test which distinguishes between the ability to comprehend material presented aurally and the ability to comprehend the same material in its printed form is presented. The relationship between pre- and post-lexical phonology is also discussed in relation to reading tests.

The major aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Multiple Intelligences (MI) scores and the performance of Iranian EFL students on different forms of reading comprehension tests. To this aim, 90 learners of English from Parax Institute of Science and Technology (Mashhad Branch) were selected. They were asked to complete MIDAS multiple intelligences questionnaire and a reading test, which included two tests formats (multiple-choice and cloze test). The result of the correlational study indicated that the total MI score correlated positively with performance on multiple-choice and cloze test. Out of its 8 sub-intelligences linguistic, intrapersonal, spatial, and mathematical intelligence correlated positively with multiple-choice test of reading. Performance on cloze test correlated positively with linguistic, spatial, and mathematical intelligence.  The results of regression equations also showed that MI scores predict both the performance on multiple-choice and cloze test. Out of its sub-intelligences, linguistic intelligence and musical intelligence predict performance on multiple-choice questions and linguistic intelligence predicts performance on cloze test.

The Relationship

During the second half of the 19th century, while the Ottoman press, publishing and literary platforms were flourishing, a need for a more “practical” language of writing arose to convey ideas, and there was a great need to have a new, a more practical language while writing. A language that can convey an idea, a language that can produce information, and a writing style that can spread both. This need for a new language is emphasized by the prominent figures of “New Literature”, and to these writers and prominent figures in the Ottoman state novel as a genre seemed promising for the modernization of Ottoman society as a whole.This article is focusing on the novel’s function during the second half of the 19th century. At the centre of the matter is the reaction of Ottoman –Turkish intelligentsia to the new genre. The article is trying to depict the relationship between classical forms and the new genre and how writers were motivated to merge and create a local novel genre. While doing that we will be mentioning why and how this new genre made local by the names, such as sergüzeşt and hikaye and it’s communication with the “acaib u garaib – supernatural stories” of the Middle Eastern classical literature.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetOsmanlı basın ve edebiyat ortamının 1850’lerden sonra hareketlenmeye başlamasının da etkisiyle, edebiyatın fikri, düşünceyi ifade edebilecek, bilgi üretecek ve onu yayacak bir “yazı dili”ne ihtiyacı açık bir şekilde anlaşılmıştır. Bu ihtiyaç, “yeni edebiyat”ın önemli temsilcileri ve modernleşmeye çalışan devletin yöneticileri tarafından da sıklıkla vurgulanmıştır. İşte bu yönetici/yazarlar, modernleşmek için ihtiyaç duydukları bu yeni dili, çok yönlü bir şekilde kullanabilecekleri bir araç olan romanla kurabileceklerini fark etmişlerdir.Türün XIX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısındaki serüvenine odaklanan bu çalışmada, işte bu yazı dilinin Osmanlı-Türk edebiyatında yazar, okur, matbuat yani edebiyat kamusu tarafından nasıl algılandığı üzerinde düşünülecektir. Makalede, doğayı, insanı, toplumu anlatan romanın, Osmanlı edebiyatına girişine kadar dolaşımda olan hikâye etme pratikleriyle olan ilişkisi de göz önünde bulundurulacaktır. Ayrıca, bu ilişkinin edebiyat tarihi araştırmalarında yorumlanma tarzı, türe gösterilen davranış kalıpları Osmanlı-Türkiye modernleşme refleksleri üzerinden tartışılacaktır. Bu bağlamda türün sergüzeşt, hikâye kelimeleriyle yerelleştirilmesi, ahlâkı temel alan bir yapıyla yazılması ve Ortadoğu klasik edebiyatlarında görülen “acâib ü gâraib” anlatılarıyla bağlantısı tartışılacaktır.

Reading comprehension tests vary in format and characteristics, which may influence the extent to which component skills are involved in test performance. With students in Grades 6 to 8 with reading difficulties, dominance analyses examined the differential importance of component reading and language skills (word- and text-reading fluency, vocabulary, listening comprehension, and working memory) on several standardized tests of reading comprehension: The Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test, 4th edition (GMRT), Group Reading Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation, Gray Oral Reading Test, 5th edition (GORT-5), and the Test of Silent Reading Efficiency and Comprehension (TOSREC). Students’ word- and text-reading fluency skills were generally the most dominant predictors of performance on most reading comprehension tests, especially those with a time limit (GMRT and TOSREC). Listening comprehension was most important on the GORT-5, a test in which students read passages orally and listen to questions read by an examiner. Working memory was the least important component skill across the reading comprehension tests. Overall, results were consistent with previous work indicating that reading comprehension measures vary with regard to the skills or knowledge sources that are most important for test performance and extend these findings to struggling adolescent readers. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
