This study aimed to examine the prediction of listening comprehension skills on reading

comprehension performances. Participants were 52 students from kindergarten classes. Their

listening comprehension abilities were tested when they were in kindergarten, then their

reading comprehension performances when they were at first grade. Two measures (Listening

Comprehension Test and Text Reading and Reading Comprehension Test) were used to evaluate

the participants’ listening comprehension and reading comprehension skills. All evaluation

sessions were carried out individually in a quiet room located in the school of the child. A

Linear Regression Analysis was used to analyze the data. Findings from the present study

indicated that listening comprehension skills were one of the significant predictors of reading

comprehension performance. All findings were discussed with reference to the contents and

processing procedure of both listening and reading comprehension skills.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Early literacy, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, kindergarten, reading skills.

Dinlediğini Anlama Becerisinin Okuduğunu Anlama Üzerindeki Yordayıcılığının İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın genel amacı, okul öncesi dönemde sahip olunan dinlediğini anlama

becerisinin ilkokul birinci sınıftaki okuduğunu anlama üzerindeki yordayıcılığını incelemektir.

Araştırmaya, çalışmanın katılımcı seçim kriterlerini karşılayan 52 öğrenci dâhil edilmiştir.

Çalışma içerisinde öğrencilerin sahip oldukları dinlediğini anlama becerilerinin okuduğunu

anlama üzerindeki yordayıcılığını belirlemek için iki farklı değerlendirme aracı kullanılmıştır.

Bunlar; Dinlediğini Anlama Alt Testi ile Metin Okuma ve Okuduğunu Anlama Becerileri

Değerlendirme Aracı’dır. Araştırmanın verileri 15-20 dakikalık bireysel oturumlarda toplanmış

ve Basit Doğrusal Regresyon analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular,

dinlediğini anlama becerisinin okuduğunu anlamanın önemli bir yordayıcısı olduğunu

göstermiştir. Dinlediğini anlama ile okuduğunu anlama arasında elde edilen anlamlı ilişkiler,

bu becerilerin içerikleri ve işlemleme süreçleri temelinde ayrıntılı olarak tartışılmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Erken okuryazarlık, dinlediğini anlama, okuduğunu anlama, okul öncesi, okuma becerisi.
