Türkiye’de Yayınlanan Matematik Öz-Yeterlik Temalı Makalelere Yönelik Bir İçerik Analizi

Bireylerin amaçlara, görevlere ve zorluklara yaklaşımını belirleyerek performansına etki edebilen öz-yeterlik inancı, farklı disiplinlerde çok sayıda araştırmaya konu olmuştur. Eğitim araştırmaları içinde özellikle başarı üzerindeki güçlü etkisi sebebi ile matematik öz-yeterliği tüm dünyada araştırmacıların odak noktası haline gelmiştir. Türkiye’de ise matematik öz-yeterliği temasında farklı değişkenlerle ve araştırma desenleri ile yapılan çalışmalar alan yazını zenginleştirmekle birlikte bu temaya dair var olan durumun anlaşılmasını zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de yapılan matematik öz-yeterliği temalı makalelerin çalışıldıkları alanları, konuları, örneklemleri, kullanılan yöntem, veri toplama aracı ve veri analiz tekniklerini ve yayınlandıkları dilleri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, betimsel içerik analizi yöntemi ile tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmaya 2010-2022 yılları arasında yayınlanmış olan 101 makale dâhil edilmiştir. Çalışma verileri, MAXQDA 2022 nitel analiz programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde Baş ve Özturan Sağırlı (2017) tarafından tasarlanmış olan kod ve kategori listesi temel alınmıştır. Araştırma, Türkiye’de matematik öz-yeterliği temalı makale sayısının yıllar içinde dalgalı bir seyir ile arttığı ancak son yıllarda belirgin bir düşüş yaşandığı; makalelerin matematik ve geometri eğitimi alanlarında ve matematik öz-yeterliği, matematik okuryazarlığı öz-yeterliği, matematik öğretimi öz-yeterliği konularında yoğunlaştığı sonuçlarına ulaşmıştır. Bununla birlikte, en sık kullanılan yöntemlerin tarama ve ölçek geliştirme çalışmaları olduğu bunları deneysel desen ve karma yöntem araştırmalarının takip ettiği; buna bağlı olarak sıklıkla ölçek/anket aracılığı ile veri toplandığı sadece birkaç çalışmada gözlem ve görüşme gibi nitel araştırma yöntemlerine ait veri toplama tekniklerinden faydalanıldığı ve korelaston, t-testi ve ANOVA gibi parametrik veri analizi tekniklerinin sıklıkla kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. En sık çalışılan grubunun ortaokul öğrencileri ve aday öğretmenler olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca söz konusu makalelerin büyük çoğunluğunun Türkçe olarak yazıldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

A Content Analysis of Mathematics Self-Efficacy Themed Articles Published in Türkiye

Self-efficacy belief, which can affect the performance of individuals by determining their approach to goals, tasks and difficulties, has been the subject of numerous studies in different disciplines. Mathematics self-efficacy has become the focus of researchers all over the world, especially because of its strong impact on achievement in educational research. In Turkey, studies conducted with different variables and research designs on the theme of mathematics self-efficacy add richness to the literature, but make it difficult to reveal the current situation of this theme. This study aimed to investigate mathematics self-efficacy themed articles in terms of the field, subject, study group/sampling, applied method, data collection tools, analysis techniques, and publishing language in Turkey. The study was designed as a descriptive content analysis. 101 articles published between 2010 and 2022 were included in the study. Data were analysed by using the MAXQDA 2022 qualitative analysis program. The analysis of the data was based on the code and category list designed by Baş and Özturan Sağırlı (2017). The research concluded that the number of mathematics self-efficacy themed articles in Turkey has increased with fluctuations over the years, but there has been a significant decrease in recent years and these articles focused on the fields of mathematics and geometry education and the subject matter of mathematics self-efficacy, mathematical literacy self-efficacy, and mathematics teaching self-efficacy. In addition, it was determined that the most frequently used methods are surveys and scale development studies. These are followed by experimental design and mixed method studies. Accordingly, it has been concluded that data is often collected through scales/surveys, and very few studies apply qualitative data collection techniques. Moreover, the most used analysis techniques were correlation, t-test and ANOVA. It was determined that the most frequently studied group consists of middle school students and prospective teachers. Most of mathematics self-efficacy themed articles in Turkey were published in Turkish.
