Abstract

Objective: Using image in educational texts for children can help to enhance their learning.
Considering the importance of academic motivation and the role of enhancing reading and writing skills and reading self-efficacy, as well as the comic book capabilities in this regard, this study attempts to address this issue from the perspective of popular culture and is part of the shortcomings.
Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of comic proverb books on educational motivation and reading self-efficiency of elementary fourth and fifth grade students.

Research method: This is a causal-comparative study with post-test design with control group. This study is practical in terms of purpose, is quantitative in terms of type and its data collection was done by descriptive method of cause-comparison type by considering post-test for a control group. The study population consisted of 4th and 5th grade female students in Alborz province. 100 girls of fourth and fifth grade students in Alborz province was selected by purposing judgment sampling, Samples were selected through purposive judgment sampling and 50 individuals were selected as control group and 50 as experimental group. The subjects in the experimental group were given comic books and both groups responded to the Hager reading self-efficacy questionnaire (2017) and the academic motivation questionnaire by Guy, Marsh, and Dawson (2005).

Findings: Significant difference between educational motivation between two groups were showed. This means that reading the proverbial comic books could increase students' educational motivation. It was also found that reading these books did not affect their self-efficacy.The answers were compared and analyzed. Data analysis was performed by descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent t- test and U-Mann _Witney test).

Conclusion: The results show that proverb comic books create interest and motivation to read in students.
The results showed that proverbial comic books increase students' sense of autonomy and autonomy in learning new material and institutionalize their interest in reading books. Readers are also aware of the fact that selecting and reading comic books in different contexts enables them to learn new and informative content, and in the future, they will be able to study broader topics of interest in comic books.Proverbs have been rarely used in education of the students in our country. Using this type of resources and folklore can increase their educational interest. Producing comic books in many scientific and educational fields can be a good platform for better learning in education.
