Özet:

 The aim of this study is to determine the effect of literature circle method on social emotional learning skills levels of high school students. The research was designed in a nested mixed method and was conducted in the first semester of the 2021-2022 academic year at a high school in Arnavutköy, Istanbul. The study group of the research consisted of 63 9th grade students, of whom 32 were in the experimental group and 31 in the control group. Quantitative data of the study were collected with the Social Emotional Learning Scale. Qualitative data were obtained from the interview form and student projects. Quantitative data of the study were analyzed with the Analysis of Covariance statistical technique. Moreover, qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis method. Results in the quantitative dimension of the study revealed a significant difference in favor of the experimental group in each of the SEL skills and the total scores between the experimental group and the control group, in which the literature circle method was applied. The qualitative results, on the other hand, confirmed the quantitative results and reflected the SEL skills of the students. The results of the research reflected the students self-awareness skills by demonstrating how they expressed their emotions, improved their self-confidence, examine their prejudices, and discovered their interests with literature circles. In addition, it has been shown that students gain discipline, increase their motivation and take initiative in terms of self-management skills, achievement of set goals and manage their time effectively. The results of the study indicated that students demonstrated social awareness skills such as empathy, compassion, and understanding other peoples emotions and perspectives; they built positive relationships by improving their communication skills; and they expressed responsible decision-making abilities such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and making reasoned judgments by anticipating the consequences of their actions. The study found that the literature circle method was effective in supporting SEL skills.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, okuma çemberi yönteminin lise öğrencilerinin sosyal duygusal öğrenme becerileri üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırma, iç içe karma desende tasarlanmış ve 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılının birinci döneminde İstanbul ili, Arnavutköy ilçesindeki bir lisede yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, 9. sınıfta öğrenim gören 32si deney, 31i kontrol grubunda olmak üzere 63 öğrenciden oluşmuştur. Araştırmanın nicel verileri Sosyal Duygusal Öğrenme Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Nitel veriler ise görüşme formu ve öğrenci projelerinden elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın nicel verileri Kovaryans Analizi istatistik tekniğiyle; nitel veriler ise içerik analizi yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmanın nicel boyutunda ulaşılan bulgular, okuma çemberi yönteminin uygulandığı deney grubu ile kontrol grubu arasında SDÖ becerilerinin her birinde ve toplam puanlarında deney grubu lehine anlamlı bir fark ortaya çıkarmıştır. Nitel boyutta ulaşılan bulgular ise nicel bulguları destekler şekilde öğrencilerin SDÖ becerilerini yansıtmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçları, öğrencilerin okuma çemberleri ile duygularını ifade ettiklerini, öz güvenlerini artırdıklarını, ön yargılarını gözden geçirdiklerini, ilgilerini keşfettiklerini göstererek öz farkındalık becerilerini yansıtmıştır. Ayrıca öğrencilerin öz yönetim becerileri kapsamında, koydukları hedefe ulaşma ve zaman kontrolü sağlama açısından disiplin kazandıklarını, motivasyonlarını artırdıklarını, inisiyatif aldıklarını göstermiştir. Sonuçlar, öğrencilerin empati kurma, şefkat gösterme, başkalarının duygularını ve bakış açılarını anlama gibi sosyal farkındalık becerileri sergilediklerini; iletişim becerilerini geliştirerek olumlu ilişkiler kurduklarını; eleştirel düşünme, problemleri tanımlayıp çözme ve eylemlerinin sonuçlarını öngörerek gerekçeli yargıda bulunma gibi sorumlu karar verme becerileri sergilediklerini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Araştırmada, SDÖ becerilerinin desteklenmesinde okuma çemberi yönteminin etkili olduğu görülmüştür.
