Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Sosyal Ağ Kullanım ları ve Öğrenme Stilleri Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğrencilerin öğrenme stillerine göre sosyal ağları kullanım amaçlarını incelemektir. Çalışma, Gazi Üniversitesi'nde 479 lisans öğrencisiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin öğrenme stillerini belirlemek amacıyla Fer (2003) tarafından Türkçe'ye uyarlanan öğrenme stilleri envanteri; sosyal ağ kullanım amaçlarını belirlemek için Karal ve Kokoç (2010) tarafından geliştirilen sosyal ağ kullanım amaçları ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre, Aktif/Yansıtan ve Duyumsal/Sezgisel öğrenme stillerine göre tanıma-tanınma amaçlı kullanım yönünden anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur. Bu farklılık aktif/yansıtan öğrenme stilinde aktif öğrenciler lehine, duyumsal/sezgisel öğrenme stilinde sezgisel öğrenen öğrenciler lehinedir. Görsel/Sözel öğrenme stiline göre hem sosyal etkileşimiletişim hem de eğitim amaçlı kullanımda görsel öğrenme stiline sahip öğrencilerin lehine anlamlı fark görülmüştür. Ardışık/bütünleşik öğrenme stiline göre ise sosyal ağ kullanım amaçlarında anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır.

An Investigation on University Students' Individual Learning Styles and Their Aims of Use of the Social Networks

The aim of this research is to investigate the students' aims of using social networks according to their learning styles. Study was carried out with 479 undergraduate students from Gazi University. Survey method was used in the research. To find out learning styles of students, Felder and Silverman's(1996) Index of Learning Styles adapted into Turkish by Fer (2003) and to find out purpose of using social networks, Aims of Use of Social Network Sites Scale was developed by Karal ve Kokoç (2010) were used. According to findings, significant difference was found in active/reflective and sensing/intuitive learning style in terms of the acquaintance. This difference was in the favor of active students in active/reflective learning style and in the favor of intuitive students in sensing/intuitive learning style. Both purpose of using social network for social interaction-communication and education was significant for Visual/verbal learning style in favor of visual students. There was no significance between sequential/global learning style for the purpose of using social networks.
