The Effect of the Reading Apprenticeship Approach on Seventh Grade Students’ Reading Comprehension and Summarization Skills

Summary/Abstract: Summarising is the process by which an individual selects the essential information from a source text, eliminates irrelevant details, and presents the content in a concise and reorganized form without adding subjective judgments. This study aims to examine the effects of instructional practices developed based on the Reading Apprenticeship Approach on seventh-grade students’ comprehension and summarisation of narrative texts, as well as their summarisation self-efficacy perceptions and attitudes toward summarising. The study used an embedded mixed-methods experimental design. The participants consisted of 59 seventhgrade students enrolled in a public middle school. Students’ summarisation skills were assessed by scoring the summary texts they produced using the Reading Comprehension Test and the Narrative Summary Evaluation Rubric. In addition, students’ attitudes toward summarising were measured using the Attitude Toward Summarising Scale, and their summarisation self-efficacy perceptions were measured using the Summarisation Self-Efficacy Scale. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews and reflective journals to provide a more in-depth understanding of the research topic. The findings revealed that students’ summarisation achievement was moderate, and their self-efficacy perceptions were adequate. Overall, the results indicate that instructional processes and activities structured in accordance with the Reading Apprenticeship Approach had a positive effect on students’ comprehension and summarisation of narrative texts, as well as on their self-efficacy perceptions and attitudes toward summarising.
