| dc.description.abstract | The core issue in this research was Utilization of children's literature in second-cycle primary schools. The research aimed at investigating second cycle primary school teachers and students use of children's literature. To do this descriptive survey method of research was employed. Eight govemment and private second cycle primary schools of Addis Ababa were the target data areas. Teachers, students, librarians ancL principals of the respective schools were data sources where by 83 teachers, 221 students, 8 librarians and 8 principals were partakers. Questionnaires and Observation checklists were the major data gathering tools. The results indicated that most teachers did not get medium-sensitive training to use children's literature. Many teachers were not familiar to make use of literature in the instnLction. The less attention given to children's literature in the curriculum and shortage of books were also set backs. Shortage of budget was a part of the shortages too. Many teachers did not have regularly planned literature activities for use of children's literature. Students were not encouraged to use children's books to supplement the textbooks. Textbook was taken unduly as a sole feeding bottle. A special time for recreational reading or sustained silent reading was not provided in most second cycle primary schools. I Based upon the above findings the researcher has come to deduce that second-cycle primary schools had no or little capacity to utilize children's literature and reading to leam in the selected schools has been highly bound to ordinary copying of text data. The sole and proximate professionals, the teachers themselves have been used to dispensing information, not guiding pupils wide reading habits. This, in tum, has made the whole work or pupils reading to leam unfnLitJul since it blocks creative envisage. Finally, some recommendations were fonuarded. | en_US |
