| Abstract: | A literature circle is a collaborative learning technique that can be used in developing reading skills and acquiring a reading habit. It is a reading activity in which students read the books that they choose with their group mates and discuss the chapters that they read in accordance with the roles that they choose. This study aimed to determine the effect of the literature circle technique on preservice Turkish teachers' attitudes towards reading habits and explore their views on the literature circle technique. To this end, a 9-week practice in which the literature circle technique was used was conducted with preservice Turkish teachers. A descriptive mixed method research design was used in the study. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was used in the quantitative part of the research. The sample consisted of 75 preservice teachers studying in the Turkish language teaching department of a state university. The data were collected using the "Attitude Scale Regarding Reading Habits" developed by Gömleksiz (2004) and a semi-structured interview form. The attitude scale was administered as a pretest and a post-test, and the interview form was administered after the implementation. The findings showed that the literature circle technique has a positive effect on developing preservice teachers' attitudes towards reading habits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
