The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of MeFOT-based reading activities and
process-oriented reading instruction on the activity competence, creative personality and reading
attitude of adolescents. For this purpose, this researcher conducted experiments on 87 male and
female middle school students. Of these subjects, 29 were assigned to a experimental group
where MeFOT-based reading activities were implemented, 29, another experimental group where
process-oriented reading instruction was provided and the other 29, the control group.
Measurement devices used for this study included the Creative Personality Test.
The results of this study are as follows.
MeFOT-based reading activities and process-oriented reading instruction are effective in raising
middle school students' creative personality, especially its sub-factors like curiosity, aesthetic sense
and judgemental independence. This effect is not significantly different whether it is by
MeFOT-based reading activities or process-oriented reading instruction. These moves, however,
have no effect on improving other sub-factors of the young people's creative personality such as
task commitment, risk-taking and openness. Raising the creative personality of middle school
students requires reading activities, in which it's not necessary to clearly determine how to focus
on creative thinking or reading itself. However, it needs to be further studied that reading
activities have no significant influence on task commitment, risk-taking and openness.
