Abstract

Background and Objectives: Studying as a social skill is the basis for advancement. Common sense would agree that there is a close relationship between the state of literacy and development of individuals in societies, and the society as a whole. The development of the culture of studying and reading, can play an effective role in reducing the impact of social mal-behavior such as drug addiction, etc., in a society, directly and indirectly. The need for children and adults to become interested in reading and studying is not overlooked. The habit of reading and familiarity with resources that can help us meet our information needs is a great benefit that is better to sprout from childhood. The choice of teens for this study is deliberate and important because teens are somehow in the early years of experiencing reading and this useful habit (reading), which should have been institutionalized in them prior to that years ago, is the basis for knowledge gaining and lifelong learning in them. Therefore, in assuming a knowledgeable and developed generation, it is important to see if the basis of its study and reading habit is firm enough, it is supported. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate and to identify the supporting and preventing factors of reading among high school Students in Ahvaz. Methodology: The present study was conducted by administration of a survey. The research population was around 40814 Students of public high schools in Ahwaz, of which a sample of 380 Students was selected in a classified random manner, using the Cochran sampling formula. The data was collected by means of a researcher-made scale devised based on the persuasive and dissuasive components and some other relevant factors such as family, library, school, librarian, etc. To assess the validity of the scale, content validity examination was used. In order to determine the reliability of the data gathering tool, the final draft of the scale was considered. The Cronbach's alpha was calculated for a pilot group of 30 Students which resulted in an acceptable reliability coefficient of 0. 75. The reliability coefficient for the study status subscale was 0. 75, for dissuasive subscale was 0. 943 and for the persuasive subscale was 0. 894 all illustrating acceptable reliability. Data analysis was performed by calculating descriptive statistical methods and indicators such as mean, standard deviation and relevant tabulations. Exploratory factor analysis, independent t-test, and Spearman correlation coefficient were used in the analytical part of the study and data analysis. In all the statistical calculations SPSS software version 22 was used. Findings: Based on the results, 62. 8% of the respondents were girls and 37. 2% of them were boys. The study demonstrated that the average reading period for school lessons was about 3 hours a day for each student and study time for girls was significantly more than that of boys. The average Students' non-syllabic study was estimated at 55 minutes per day. There was no significant difference between the mean study amount of girls and boys in this respect. According to the findings, the most common way to get information among Students are radio and television, and the Internet. Also, findings indicate that there is a very weak correlation between parental education and non-syllabus study in Students (r = 0. 037). According to the findings, 75. 1% of Students, also study non-syllabus materials in addition to textbooks during the day. Findings showed that Students believe educational factors such as having educational courses to familiarize them with reading, and then motivational, cultural and economic factors are the most important factors in making them interested in reading. On the other hand, cultural, educational and economic factors are the most important factors preventing them from studying. Disscusion: Based on the findings, Students believe that educational factors, economic factors and motivational factors, have the most impact in encouraging Students to study. These findings indicate that adults would become more interested in studying if they are adequately trained how to study and if they are introduced to appropriate resources. Also, if they have got their reading habit from their families and friends since childhood, their interest in studying would be more institutionalized and stronger. Among the Preventive factors, cultural, educational and economic factors were also the most frequent in views of the respondents. At the end, suggestions are made to improve the level of study among the target community. As the findings reveal, from student's point of view, proper planning, adequate education and provision of facilities for purchasing books, there would be sufficient motivation for studying in teens and Students. Therefore, based on the results, it is believed that the most effective ways to increase the adults study rate and their interest in studying and developing a study culture, are first, development of appropriate and relevant educational programs, and then, make the attempt to guide the intellectual and cultural orientation of Families towards reading and, also, create and publish easy access reading materials.
