Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of story mapping method used with cooperative integrated reading and composition (CIRC) technique in Turkish Language course on developing reading comprehension skill and on attitudes towards Turkish Language course. In research, experimental design with pretest-posttest control group was preferred. The research was administered on 5th grade students enrolled at Behrampaşa Primary School in 2011- 2012 academic year in Sivas city center. The study includes one experimental and one control group. Experimental group included 36 students while control group included 30 students. Experimental group used story mapping method supported with CIRC technique while control group used traditional method. Data of the study were collected by using achievement test, developed by the researchers and the ‘Attitude Scale towards Turkish Language Course (ASTLC)’ developed by Acat (2000). Frequency, percentage, paired groups t test, independent groups t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data. Study results revealed that experimental group students, who used story mapping method used with CIRC technique achieved more than control group students, who used traditional method. Story mapping method used with CIRC technique has had a positive effect on experimental group students’ attitudes towards Turkish Language course while no significant difference was determined in control group students’ attitudes. The post-attitude scores of students in experimental group were higher than those in control group.
