This study applied the method of action research to explore the impacts of reciprocal teaching on junior elementary students¡¦ reading comprehension. The main purposes of the thesis were to understand the students¡¦ learning process of reciprocal teaching, and to discuss their performance on expository text reading comprehension after learning reciprocal teaching, as well as their performance on utilizing reciprocal teaching on reading story texts.
The researcher performed reciprocal teaching activities in her class, collecting and analyzing data from ¡§Students¡¦ Learning Record¡¨, ¡§Group Discussion Record¡¨, ¡§Students¡¦ Learning Status Datasheet¡¨, and ¡§Teachers¡¦ Reflective Record¡¨, in order to understand the students¡¦ learning process and alter the teaching activities from time to time according to the students¡¦ learning conditions. At last, the researcher surveyed the reading comprehension results and reading interest development. The findings of the research were:
1The difficulties of junior elementary students¡¦ learning of reciprocal teaching:
1.1They were likely to be confused with ¡§clarifying¡¨ and ¡§questioning¡¨ strategies;
1.2They needed to use written description to help them express themselves verbally;
1.3They needed the teacher¡¦s guide for ¡§summarizing¡¨ and ¡§questioning¡¨ strategies.
2Reciprocal teaching influenced the performance of junior elementary students¡¦ reading comprehension.
3Reciprocal teaching increased junior elementary students¡¦ reading interest.
4Students were able to utilize reciprocal teaching strategies when reading story texts.
