DEVELOPING ATTITUDE SCALE TOWARDS THE EFFECT OF LISTENING ‎SKILLS OF TALES

Listening is among the fundamental language skills that are important in an individual's ‎life. Listening is the fundamental skill that individuals need in communicating with ‎others. Without this skill, it is not possible for an individual to develop social ‎relationships. Listening skill is a fundamental skill that should be acquired from an early ‎age in an individual's life. Listening skill can be acquired through education in ‎individuals. Listening skill is a skill that is aimed to be acquired in Turkish education ‎and training and requires students' cognitive and social competencies such as perceiving, ‎understanding, inferring, interpreting, evaluating and communicating. Tales are thought ‎to contribute to the development of listening skills in children. However, at the fifth ‎grade level, there is no scale that allows examining the effect of fairy tales on listening ‎skill. In this context, it was aimed to develop an attitude scale for fifth grade students to ‎improve the listening skills of fairy tales. The universe of the research consists of 5th ‎grade students studying in Samsun in the 2020-2021 academic year. The sample of the ‎research, on the other hand, consists of 702 students randomly selected from the ‎universe. Analysis of the research data was made using SPSS24 and AMOS26 ‎programs. As a result of the research, "attitude scale towards listening to fairy tales" ‎consisting of five sub-dimensions and 22 items was developed. The sub-dimensions of ‎the scale were determined as "Attitude Towards Tablela, Understanding, Analyzing, ‎Associating with Life, Presentation of the Tale, Active Participation". The scale was ‎prepared in 5-point Likert type, and the cronbach alpha reliability coefficient for the ‎overall scale was found as ,87 and 47.73% of the total variance explained in the 5 sub-‎dimensions.‎ Keywords: Tale, listening skill, attitude, scale
