Students Who Read Paper Books Score Better on Tests

Level 2 Level 3

Remember when e-readers first came out, and people thought they would replace regular books? Well, it turns out that might not be the case. According to a recent study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), young people who read more paper books tend to get better scores in reading tests. The study involved surveys and tests done by 15-year-olds in 2018 across 38 countries. The findings showed that students who mostly read paper books scored higher in reading tests compared to those who read on digital devices.

E-okuyucuların ilk çıktığı ve insanların normal kitapların yerini alacağını düşündüğü zamanları hatırlıyor musunuz? Görünüşe göre durum pek de öyle olmayabilir. Ekonomik İşbirliği ve Kalkınma Örgütü (OECD) tarafından yapılan yeni bir araştırmaya göre, daha fazla kağıt kitap okuyan gençler okuma testlerinde daha iyi puanlar alma eğiliminde. Çalışma, 2018 yılında 38 ülkede 15 yaşındaki öğrencilerle yapılan anket ve testleri içeriyordu. Bulgular, çoğunlukla kağıt kitap okuyan öğrencilerin, dijital cihazlardan okuyanlara kıyasla okuma testlerinde daha yüksek puanlar aldığını gösterdi.
