Öğretmen Adaylarının Bilişsel Esneklik Düzeyleri ile Kültürel Zekâ Düzeyleri Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Bu araştırmanın amacı, bilişsel esnekliğin yordanmasında kültürel zekânın ne düzeyde katkıda bulunduğunubelirlemektir. Bilişsel esneklik, öğretmenlerin sahip olması beklenen ve yetiştirecekleri öğrencilere dekazandırmaları istenen yeterlikler arasında bulunmaktadır. Kültürel zekâ ise; kültürel bilgi, farkındalıkuygulamaları ve davranışsal beceri birikimine dayanan çok boyutlu bir yetkinlik olarak belirmektedir.Çalışma grubunu, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi (ÇOMÜ) Eğitim Fakültesi’nde öğrenim gören 260öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplamak amacıyla Dennis ve Vander Wal (2010)tarafından geliştirilip; Sapmaz ve Doğan (2013) tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlanan “Bilişsel Esneklik Envanteri(BEE)” ve Ang vd. (2007) geliştirilip, Türkçe’ye uyarlaması İlhan ve Çetin (2014) tarafından yapılan“Kültürel Zekâ Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler(frekans, yüzde, aritmetik ortalama ve standart sapma) ve çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadaulaşılan bulgulara göre, öğretmen adaylarının bilişsel esneklik ve kültürel zekâ düzeyleri yüksektir. Öğretmenadaylarının üst biliş ve motivasyon puanları bilişsel esneklik düzeyini olumlu yönde etkilerken, biliş vedavranış puanları etkilememektedir. Ayrıca öğretmen adaylarının kültürel zekâ toplam puanları, bilişselesneklik düzeylerini anlamlı olarak yordamaktadır.

Investigation of the Relationship Between Pre-service Teachers' Cognitive Flexibility Levels and Cultural Intelligence Levels

The purpose of this study is to determine to what extent cultural intelligence contributes to the prediction of cognitive flexibility. The working group consists of 260 teacher candidates studying at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Faculty of Education. “The Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (BEE)”, developed by Dennis and Vander Wal (2010) and adapted into Turkish by Sapmaz and Doğan (2013); the “Cultural Intelligence Scale”, developed by Ang et al. (2007) and adapted to Turkish by İlhan and Çetin (2014) was used to collect data in the study. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean and standard deviation) and multiple regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data obtained in the study. According to the findings of the study, the cognitive flexibility and cultural intelligence levels of the teacher candidates are high. While the metacognition and motivation scores of the teacher candidates positively affect the cognitive flexibility level, they do not affect the cognition and behavior scores. In addition, preservice teachers' cultural intelligence total scores significantly predicted their cognitive flexibility levels.
