Abstract

Knowing about each student's reading motivation is important to school librarians in producing life-long readers in their students This research asks the questions. are there any significant differences of reading motivation between grade level gender and birth order? and what kinds of reading motivation can encourage students to read books? The questionnaire method composed of 25 items was used for 278 students. The sample consisted of 142 students in 2nd, 136 in 5th grade, 140 boys and 138 girls. and 119 first born and 159 other birth order students. Finding shows that significant differences were observed for the reading motivation in 2nd and 5th grade, no significant differences between boys and girls. and no significant differences between birth order students were observed. It concludes with recommendations of reading motivation to each student or group.

독서 동기유발의 정도는 학생들의 나이, 성별, 관심 및 적성에 따라 각각 다르게 나타난다. 따라서 각 학생들이 독서 동기유발의 여러 가지 요인 중 어떤 요인에 더 영향을 받는지를 이해하는 것은 학생들을 평생 독서가로 이끄는 역할을 하는 사서교사에게 가장 필수적인 척도가 될 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 학년별 성별. 그리고 출생순서별로 독서 동기유발에 차이점이 있는지를 살피고 어떤 요인으로 학생들의 독서 흥미유발을 시도할 것인가를 조사하기 위해서 질문지법을 사용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 질문지는 독서 동기를 유발하는 요소를 6가지로 범주화하여 25개 항목으로 구성하였으며. 278명(2학년 142명 5학년 136명/ 140명의 남학생. 138명의 여학생/ 119명의 첫째, 그리고 159명의 둘째 이상으로 태어난 학생)을 대상으로 하였다. 연구 결과 2학년과 5학년간에는 독서 동기유발의 정도에서 유의한 차이가 나타났으나. 남학생과 여학생 그리고 첫 자녀와 기타 출생순서의 자녀에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 연구의 끝 부분에는 학생 개개인 또는 그룹별을 위한 독서 흥미를 유발할 수 있는 실제적인 방안과 활용법을 제시하였다.
