Examination of high school students’ motivation and learning strategies

Examination of high school students’ motivation and learning strategies

Bugünün eğitim sistemleri olabildiğince hiçbir çocuğu geride bırakmama çabasındadırlar. Ayrıca, eğitim sistemleri tarihin diğer bütün zamanlarına kıyasla, bugün çok daha etkili olma çabasındadırlar. Eğitim girdi ve süreçlerine ilişkin bilimsel araştırmalar bu çabanın etkili olması yönünde ışık tutacaktır. Öğrencilerin motivasyon ve öğrenme stratejileri en önemli girdilerden bir tanesidir. Bu nedenle, bu araştırmanın amacı, lise öğrencilerinin matematik dersine ilişkin güdülenme ve öğrenme stratejileri puanlarını bir grup değişkene göre incelemek olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmaya Ankara ilindeki bir Anadolu Lisesinden 318 gönüllü öğrenci katılmıştır. Veri toplamada Güdülenme ve Öğrenme Stratejileri Ölçeği ile Demografik Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Veri analizi için MANOVA ve ANOVA teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Güdülenme alt ölçeği puanlarının sadece sınıf düzeyine göre farklılaştığı; bu puanların cinsiyete, anne ve baba eğitim düzeyine göre manidar bir farklılık göstermediği bulunmuştur.Öğrenme stratejileri alt ölçeği puanlarının hem cinsiyete hem de sınıf düzeyine göre farklılaştığı; bu puanların anne ve baba eğitim düzeyine göre manidar bir farklılık göstermediği bulunmuştur. Araştırmanın sonuçları, sınırlılıkları, eğitim ve psikolojik danışma ve rehberlik alanları için doğurguları tartışılmıştır.
