碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 語文與創作學系碩士班 === 96 === Reading Instruction in the Literature Circles: A Study of the Writer: Chen, Zhi-Yuan Abstract The observations are the fundamentals of this research by entering the research scenes with the double identities of being a teacher and a researcher; the “children observation” and the “teacher observation” are processed at the same time. In the aspect of the “children observation”: contemplating how children use the theory of reader’s response to discuss the contents, writers, and self; and to discover how the plots influence them by exploring the activities in the literature circles. In addition, analyzing how the collaborative learning and the medium model impact children’s exploration on learning process. In the aspect of the “teacher observation”: resulting from the outcomes of contemplating children to reflect the process of how a teacher promotes a class reading club to accelerate a teacher’s professional development. According to the observations and analyses, the findings are: 1. The conversations and the discussions trigger the initiative explorations of the students. 2. Engaging in the social scenarios of the literature circle, collaborative learning provides the best development environment of the students. 3. The students are able to apply their abilities to other learning activities. 4. The role switching of the teachers also enhances their profession. The literature circle is still a very new territory regarding the reading teaching activities; therefore, I expect my findings can contribute the movement of the literature circle. Key words: literature circles, inquiry, reading instruction, collaborative learning
