Abstract

We aimed to explore the effects of the gradual release of responsibility framework on sixth-grade students’ oral summarization skills in the Turkish language. The current study employed convergent mixed methods research. In the quantitative phase, a pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design was used. The sample of the quantitative phase consisted of 41 sixth-grade students in Türkiye. The qualitative phase included observations about the intervention and the students’ diaries in the experimental group (n = 20). The covariance analyses on the posttest scores of the students revealed that summarization attitudes and summarization achievements of the experimental group students varied significantly compared to the control group students. In addition, it was observed that the intervention provided new insights into how students summarized a text. The students’ diaries showed that while they had difficulties with oral summarization during the intervention, they gradually developed an awareness and they liked to summarize.
