The Relationship Between Metacognitive Awareness And Online Information Searching Strategies

Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinin üstbilişsel farkındalıklarıyla (ÜF) çevrimiçi bilgi arama stratejileri (ÇBAS) arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma karma yönteme göre yürütülmüş olup, araştırmanın katılımcılarını 419 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri ÇBAS ve Bilişötesi Farkındalık Envanterleri ile öğrenci görüşlerini belirleme formundan elde edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, öğrencilerin ÜF düzeylerinin ve çevrimiçi bilgi arama stratejilerinin gelişmiş düzeyde sayılabileceğini göstermektedir. Korelâsyon analizi sonuçlarına göre ÇBAS ile ÜF değişkenleri arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Nitel bulgular incelendiğinde ise, planlama sürecinde öğrencilerin çoğunlukla anahtar kelimelere karar verdikleri; izleme ve değerlendirme sürecinde ise ulaşılan bilgiyi arama amaçlarıyla karşılaştırdıkları görülmektedir. Çalışmanın tartışma bölümünde, öğrencilerin çevrimiçi bilgi arama stratejilerini geliştirmek amacıyla üstbilişsel farkındalığın nasıl işe koşulacağı üzerinde durulmuştur.

Üstbilişsel Farkındalık İle Çevrimiçi Bilgi Arama Stratejileri Arasındaki İlişki

The aim of this study is to look into the relationship between undergraduate students' metacognitive awareness (MA) and their online information searching strategies (OISS). Mixed method was used in the study. The participants involved 419 undergraduate students. The data in the study were collected using OISS Inventory, MA Inventory and student interview forms. The results indicate that students' level of MA and their OISS are developed. The results of correlation analysis reveal that there is a positive and significant level of relationship between OISS and MA variables at a medium level. When the qualitative findings are examined, it is seen that in planning process students mostly determine key words, and in monitoring and evaluation processes they compare the accessed information with searching goals. In the discussion section of the study, how MA could be used to improve students' OISS is discussed.
