YARATICILIK BAĞLAMINDA SANATÇI ADAYLARININ ELEŞTİREL DÜŞÜNME BECERİLERİ

Bu araştırmanın amacı düşünme ve yaratıcılık arasındaki ilişki bağlamında sanatçı adaylarının eleştirel düşünme düzeylerini çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelemek ve bu yolla sanatçı adaylarının eleştirel düşünme becerilerini etkileyen unsurları belirleyebilmektir. Çalışma grubu olarak üniversitede mesleki sanat eğitimi alan 98 sanatçı adayı öğrenci tabakalı örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilmiştir. Sanatçı adaylarının eleştirel düşünme düzeylerini belirleyebilmek için ölçme aracı olarak Kaliforniya Eleştirel Düşünme Eğilimi Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Ölçekten elde edilen veriler, sınıf düzeyi, akademik başarı puanı, branş, yaş, cinsiyet gibi değişkenler açısından incelenerek sanatçı adaylarının eleştirel düşünme düzeylerini anlamlı şekilde etkileyen unsurlar ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin dağılımı Shapiro-Wilk testi ile belirlenmiştir. Verilerin analizinde bağımsız gruplar için t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve farkın kaynağını belirlemek için Tukey testi kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel analizler SPSS 19.0 yazılımı (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, ABD) ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda ölçek puanları açısından sanatçı adaylarının eleştirel düşünme becerilerinin düşük düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Branş değişkeninin “kendine güven”, “analitik düşünme”, “meraklılık” ve “açık fikirlilik” alt boyutlarında; cinsiyet değişkeninin “kendine güven”, “analitik düşünme” ve “meraklılık” alt boyutlarında; sınıf değişkeninin “sistematiklik”, “analitik düşünme”, “meraklılık”, “açık fikirlilik” alt boyutlarında; yaş değişkeninin “kendine güven”, “analitik düşünme”, “meraklılık” ve “açık fikirlilik” alt boyutlarında; akademik not ortalaması değişkeninin “kendine güven”, “analitik düşünme” ve “meraklılık” alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılık yarattığı gözlemlenmiştir. Ölçeğin “doğruyu arama” alt boyutunda değişkenler açısından anlamlı bir fark gözlemlenmemiştir.

CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS OF ARTISTS CANDIDATES IN THE CONTEXT OF CREATIVITY

The aim of this research is to examine the critical thinking levels of artist candidates in terms of various variables and thus to identify the factors affecting their critical thinking skills. The California Critical Thinking Tendency Scale was used as a measurement tool to determine the critical thinking levels of artist candidates. The data obtained from the scale were examined in terms of variables such as grade level, academic grade point average, branch, age, gender; and the factors affecting the critical thinking level of the artist candidates were tried to be revealed. SPSS 19.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) software was used to analyze the data. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to investigate whether the distribution satisfied the normality criterion. The results revealed that the samples had normal distribution of data. T-test, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) and Tukey test were used for independent groups. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 19.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). As a result of the research, it was found that artist candidates had low critical thinking skills in terms of California Critical Thinking Tendency Scale. Significant difference was observed with regard to the branch variable, in terms of self-confidence, analyticity, inquisitiveness and open-mindedness subscales. It was seen that gender variable has a significant difference, in terms of self-confidence, analyticity and inquisitiveness subscales. Class variable has a significant difference in terms of systematicity, analyticity, inquisitiveness, open-mindedness subscales. Age variable has a significant difference in terms of self-confidence, analyticity, inquisitiveness and open-mindedness subscales. And significant difference was observed with regard to the academic grade point average variable, in terms of self-confidence, analyticity and inquisitiveness subscales. There was no significant difference in truth-seeking subscale in terms of variables.
