Opis: | The purpose of the thesis with the title The viewpoint of 1st class pupils towards their literacy process was to find, what the 1st class pupils (before their literacy process) think about their reading skills (how they see themselves as readers), about the difficulty of learning to read, about the interest for reading and its usefulness, because we anticipate that this is connected with the literacy process.
In the theoretical part of the thesis we speak about the history of reading, we define the term reading, about the factors of reading, about the reasons and meaning of reading. We also defined the general motivation, talked about the two kinds of general motivation and its approaches. In the continuation of the theoretical part we also defined the reading motivation, described the two kinds of reading motivation and talked about its primary mater. At the end of the theoretical part we talk about the factors that influence the creation of reading; readiness for reading, motivation for reading, interest for reading, relationship towards reading and about self-image.
In the empirical part we used the qualitative method, where we interviewed 45 pupils of the 1st class of primary school, with the help of a half structured interview. We interviewed 15 pupils that do not read yet, 15 pupils that read a little and 15 pupils which read. This was followed by an analysis of the interviews. We found that the pupils who read (a little) have a better opinion about their reading capabilities than those who do not read. They are also more skilled at reading. We found that the pupils who do not read and those who read a little are of the opinion that learning to read is or is not hard, while the pupils who read think that it is not hard to learn to read. We also found that almost all three groups of pupils believe that reading is interesting and that all pupils have interest for reading. We also found that (almost) all pupils believe that reading is interesting. |
