| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 兒童文學研究所 === 100 === This study investigated an application of picture books to reading instruction. Picture books with a theme of interpersonal relationships and various story reading models were used for picture book reading instruction. The experimental instruction, which spanned 12 weeks, consisted of three main units, including “make friends and build relationships”, “control emotions and resolve arguments”, “offer care and maintain friendship”. This reading instruction was expected to help increase students’ ability to develop and maintain interpersonal relationships.
Based on the action research approach, fifth-grade students studying in the school where the researcher worked for were provided a series of courses and activities related to development of friendships. Research data were collected from observation, interview, discussion, learning sheets, and teacher reflections. The effects of the instruction were assessed through students’ self-evaluation, classroom observation, inter-evaluation, interpersonal relationship evaluation, and questionnaire.
