The aim of this study was to determine Turkish trainee teachers' epistemological beliefs and to examine them with respect to some variables. The study group was composed of 331 Turkish trainee teachers studying at Dumupınar University Education Faculty. Data were collected using the Turkish version of the Epistemological Beliefs Questionnaire (Deryakulu & Büyüköztürk, 2002, 2005; Schommer, 1990). It was found that trainee teachers' beliefs that learning depends on effort rather than ability were sophisticated compared to their other beliefs; while the belief that there is only one unchanging truth was naïve compared to their other beliefs. Turkish trainee teachers' epistemological beliefs differed significantly in terms of gender. That is, female students believed more than did males that learning depends on effort rather than ability.
The aim of study is to determine the relationship between metacognitive skills and motivation of students in the education faculty. Research in correlational survey method includes 520 university students. "Metacognitive Skills Scale" and "Academic Motivation Scale" are used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, t test, ANOVA were used for data analysis. According to findings, there is a positive and significant relationship in low level between metacognitive skills and IMTK, IMTA, IMES, EMID, EMIN, and EMER and a negative and significant relationship in low level between metacognitive skills and AMOT. A significant difference is found on students' metacognitive skills according to grade, status of reading in a month and whether or not having taken a lesson on learning strategies. Furthermore, a significant difference in students' EMID, EMIN, and AMOT according to gender and field, in IMTK, IMTA, IMES, and AMOT according to status of reading in a month and in IMTA and IMES according to whether or not having taken lessons on learning strategies was found.
The aim of the current research study was to examine the link between critical thinking dispositions and locus of control in pre-service teachers. The participants of this study were selected via easily accessible sampling technique. The participants consist of 347 pre-service teachers (203 female, 144 male) in Kütahya, Turkey. The Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale and Critical Thinking Dispositions Scale aided in data collection. Once the data was transferred to an electronic environment and did not show a normal distribution in terms of gender and grade variables, so Mann Whitney-U test was used in order to comparing analysis and Spearman's correlation analysis was used for examining the level of relationship between variables. According to comparison analysis, the external locus of control and critical thinking dispositions differentiated with respect to gender and grade. In correlational analysis and regression analysis, there was a negative relationship between external locus of control and critical thinking dispositions. Results were discussed by the light of the related previous studies.
Öz Makale Bilgisi Bu çalışmanın amacı, ortaokul öğrencilerinin üst bilişsel farkındalıkları ile öz yeterlik algıları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Ayrıca araştırmada, öğrencilerinin üst bilişsel farkındalıkları ile öz yeterlik algılarının çeşitli değişkenlere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı da incelenmiştir. Araştırma ilişkisel tarama modelinde desenlenmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini Kütahya ili merkez ilçesinde 6,7 ve 8. sınıflarda öğrenim gören ortaokul öğrencileri, örneklemini ise 370 ortaokul öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın veri toplama araçları olarak "Çocuklar için Üst Bilişsel Farkındalık Ölçeği" ile "Çocuklar için Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, betimsel istatistikler, t-testi, Anova ve Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyon Katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada öğrencilerin üst bilişsel farkındalıklarının ve öz yeterlik algılarının iyi düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin üst bilişsel farkındalıkları cinsiyete ve öğrenim gördüğü sınıfa göre farklılaşmaktadır. Öğrencilerin öz yeterlik algıları, cinsiyet ve öğrenim gördüğü sınıf değişkenlerine göre tüm alt boyutlarda anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir. Öğrencilerin ayda okuduğu kitap sayısına göre akademik öz yeterlik ve toplam öz yeterlik algılarında anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Araştırmada, öğrencilerinin üst bilişsel farkındalıkları ile öz yeterlik algıları arasında pozitif ve anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu belirlenmiştir.
