The effect of interactive listening education on listening skills of 4th grade students

In this study, the effect of interactive listening skills on 4th grade students' listening skills was examined. The study was carried out in Çaydeğirmeni TOKİ primary school in Devrek district of Zonguldak province. In the research, a quasi-experimental model with pre-test and post-test groups was used. Experimental and control groups were formed by random sampling method. Interactive listening training and applied activities were given to the experimental group by the researcher. The listening activities in the Turkish textbook of the Ministry of National Education curriculum were applied to the control group by the classroom teacher. The research lasted 8 weeks. The research continued in the form of pre-tests for 1 week, explaining interactive listening training for 1 week, applying interactive listening activities to the experimental group for 5 weeks, and applying post-tests for 1 week. In the research, the application lasted for a total of 20 lesson hours, two sessions per week and 2 lesson hours. The application was made using 10 texts. During the application process, pre-test and post-test questions were prepared in order to measure the listening skills of the students. The pre-test and post-tests applied were evaluated according to the scoring rubric. Since the number of data was not sufficient, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test was used. Since parametric assumptions were not provided, Mann-Wnitney U test was used in independent groups and Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used in dependent groups. As a result of the research, it was determined that interactive listening training had a positive effect on listening skills
