Abstract: (780 Views)
Objective: Main purpose of this study was to discover the impact of book reading meetings on the responsibility of 9-14 years old members of Mood public library, focusing on juvenile literature.
Method: This research was a quasi-experimental study designed by experimental and control groups. It included pre-test and post-test. The statistical population of the research included 120 teenage members of this public library, of which 40 people were randomly appointed as the sample in two groups of 20 people by random assignment method. Analysis of covariance and independent t test were used for data analysis.
Findings: The results showed that reading meetings increased the level of responsibility and all its components in the subjects. In the follow-up phase, it was found that responsibility and all its components (except fiduciary) have changed steadily among the subjects. The average responsibility of young library members was significantly higher than the average and less than the ideal. Significant difference between responsibility and seven components (self-management, orderliness, legality, trustworthiness, conscientiousness, organization, and progressiveness) were observed in both experimental and control groups. The follow-up stage showed that the average level of responsibility and six components of self-management, orderliness, legality, conscientiousness, organization and progressiveness have been increasing, but the average level of trustworthiness has decreased.
Conclusion: Book reading meetings centered on juvenile literature have led to changes in the responsibility and its components, i.e., self-management, orderliness, trustworthiness, conscientiousness, legality, organization, and progressiveness in teenagers.
