【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of implementing semantic mapping reading strategy inthe science class on high school students’ science text reading ability. 3rd grade students of science core high school in a smalland medium-sized city participated in this study for a semester. Texts with socio-scientific issues and chemistry subjects wereused to implement semantic mapping reading strategy in the science class. To investigate the changes in students’ science textreading ability, experimental group students participated in the pre-reading and post-science reading ability tests and theresults were analyzed. The results of this study showed that the mean of the science reading ability test score of experimentalgroup was significantly higher than that of the comparison group. We found that drawing a semantic mapping before solving areading task made it easier for students to find information and infer meaning from text. It can be seen that students also recognize that the semantic mapping is helpful in understanding the text because it is easy to understand the relationship betweenconcepts by visualizing the content of the text, and can connect their background knowledge with the text content.
