DEFINING THE AFFECTIVE DOMAIN OF READING
The attitudes, beliefs, and values one has about reading, which ultimately influence one’s reading engagement, motivation, and habits.
![Page 4: Planning on Preservice Teachers’ Affective Domains of Reading](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816564550346895dd7ecc6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WHY STUDY THE AFFECTIVE DOMAIN OF READING?• Recreational reading (reading for fun) has steadily
declined in nearly ever age group for the last 20 years• 65% of college freshmen read for pleasure less than an
hour per week or not at all• By the time these freshmen become college seniors,
one in three students read nothing at all for pleasure in a given week.
National Endowment for the Arts (2007)

WHY STUDY THE AFFECTIVE DOMAIN (CONT.)• Approximately 50% of preservice teachers are
unenthusiastic readers (Applegate & Applegate, 2004; Nathanson, et al., 2008)
• Teachers’ enthusiasm for reading and books facilitates students’ interests as well. (Routman, 2002; Atwell, 2007)
• Teachers’ book recommendations are one of the greatest contributors to students’ text choices for recreational reading. (Miller, 2009)
![Page 6: Planning on Preservice Teachers’ Affective Domains of Reading](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816564550346895dd7ecc6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
GOAL OF RESEARCH IN THIS FIELD
• Short-term: Improve preservice teachers’ relationships with reading such that they become avid, enthusiastic readers.
• Long-term: Improve elementary, middle, and high school level students’ engagement in recreational reading through meaningful interactions with teachers who are passionate about reading.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Q1: What are instructors’ perceptions of their students’ affective domains of reading?
Q2: How do instructors’ perceptions influence their instructional decisions in a children’s literature course?

BELIEF 1| AFFECTIVE DOMAINS VARY
• “In this class, I find that a lot of them are just discovering that they can enjoy reading...And it’s (building a passion for reading) so different, it’s just so individual.” ~Alice, Site A
• “You could tell from the discussions which of them were really into this stuff and which weren’t.” ~Brian, Site B
• “I view reading as an individual journey for students.” ~Chris, Site C
![Page 18: Planning on Preservice Teachers’ Affective Domains of Reading](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816564550346895dd7ecc6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
BELIEF 2| IT’S A JOB, AN OBLIGATION
• “They read boring stuff for school because they’re made to...” ~Alice, Site A
• “It’s possible that there are those that really don’t like to read, but they do it because it’s class and that’s what they’re going to do, so they do it.” ~Brian, Site B
• “Yeah, this to me...all these answers explain the hectic nature of college expectations, and the reason I say that is because they’ve told me that... ~Chris, Site C
![Page 19: Planning on Preservice Teachers’ Affective Domains of Reading](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816564550346895dd7ecc6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
BELIEF 3| TEACHERS SHOULD BE READERS
• “They (elementary teachers) are the source of literacy. How the teachers teach reading and how much reading they have is the center of how literate the kids will be in other grades and when they’re an adult.” ~Alice, Site A
• “Teachers that are passionate about reading, they’re going to be more likely to pass along that passion to their students...their students will see it in them…I think in academic fields, I think you’re short-changing yourself and your students if you don’t have that love of reading.” ~Brian, Site B
• “You know, teachers as a model of reading is critical…What will you do to make sure those, your beliefs and your understanding of your beliefs, support your students?”~Chris, Site C
![Page 20: Planning on Preservice Teachers’ Affective Domains of Reading](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816564550346895dd7ecc6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BELIEF 4| THEIR AFFECTIVE DOMAINS WILL IMPROVE
• “It seems like this class changes people’s, the students’, attitudes to reading a lot. It seems like they enjoy reading a lot more.” ~Alice, Site A
• “The hope is that that will rub off a bit, and others will see, ‘Wow, they’re really into that,’ you know, lead by example kind of thing. You hope as a teacher that your own passion for those kinds of things will rub off.” ~Brian, Site B
• “My reaction (to the survey rating scale data) is that it’s going to change dramatically. The kids on that that are on the lower end are going to develop a sense of self efficacy as readers, and they’re going to see themselves as readers, the importance of reading and try to fit that into their definition of reading. I can almost guarantee it.” ~Chris, Site C
![Page 21: Planning on Preservice Teachers’ Affective Domains of Reading](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816564550346895dd7ecc6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
BELIEF 5| EVERY STUDENT CAN BECOME A READER
• Alice also felt strongly that there’s the potential for everyone to become a reader, quoting children’s author, Philip Pullman, “...put the right book into the hands of the right child at the right time,”~Alice, Site A
• “I really believe that everybody has the potential to love reading. It just has to hit them at the right time...it just takes whatever connects with you...know your audience and find something that fits them...and I think pretty much teachers at all levels, I think teachers even at my level can do that, which is part of the reason I like to teach children’s literature.” ~Brian, Site B
• “So they’re in such a safe environment in our class, which they’ve expressed, that they are very willing to go places that they know are going to be difficult, so they’re willing to challenge themselves, so they’re willing to say they’d like to go here...”~Chris, Site C

other teacher preparation courses influence preservice teachers’ affective domains of reading, particularly in content areas?
• How long do the positive effects of intentional affective instruction last? • Do student teachers maintain a consistent positive
affective domain following experiences with intentional affective instruction? Increase? Decrease?
