The effect of augmented reality-based reading environments on retelling skills: Formative experiment

Abstract

This research aims to improve the oral retelling skills of primary school third grade students by using augmented reality-based reading environments. The research was carried out on 88 primary school third grade students studying in the city center of Siirt. Purposful sampling method was used in the selection of students. Formative experiment design was used in the study. The main purpose of the formative experiment design is to bridge the gap between research and practical application. In this design, an intervention program is applied to the individual. During the implementation, the factors that increase or decrease the effectiveness of the intervention are determined and the intervention program is rearranged considering these factors in order for the research to be more effective. In this study, quantitative and qualitative data collection tools were used together. "Oral Retelling and Response Observation Form" developed by Ulusoy (2017) was used to measure students' oral retelling skills. In the qualitative dimension of the research, a semi-structured interview form was used that was developed by the researcher was used. When the results obtained from the research findings were examined, it was observed that augmented reality-based reading environments improved the oral retelling skills of primary school third grade students.
