“…The reason dimension of the epistemological beliefs reflects the views on the role of scientists' curiosity and prior knowledge in the construction of new knowledge. The student teachers in this study were aware of the fact that science is a human endeavor as emphasized by McComas (2004McComas ( , 2015; this result is consistent with other research on the subject (Terzi & Uyangör, 2017;Yenice, 2013).…”

“…Şeref, Yılmaz, and Varışoğlu (2012) determined a significant gender difference in terms of scientific epistemological beliefs in pre-service Turkish Language teachers in favor of female students. Similarly, a study conducted by Terzi and Uyangör (2017), with a sample of 379 formation candidate teachers coming from several different disciplines, detected a significant difference in favor of male candidates with regard to the authority and accuracy dimension of scientific epistemological beliefs and a significant difference in favor of female candidates in the reasoning dimension. However, studies by Karabulut and Ulucan (2012) with physical education teachers and by Er (2013) with pre-service teachers from different majors concluded that scientific epistemological beliefs did not vary based on gender.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine pre-service primary school teachers’ scientific epistemological beliefs and attitudes toward science. The study also investigated whether there was a relationship between epistemological beliefs and attitudes toward science. Sample of the study consisted of 90 students pursuing their third year in primary teacher education at Giresun University, which is located in northeastern part of Turkey. Data for the study were collected through the use of the Scientific Epistemological Beliefs Scale and the Attitudes toward Science Scale. Means, t-test, and correlation analysis were used to analyze data. Findings showed that these pre-service primary school teachers’ scientific epistemological beliefs differentiated for the dimensions of the scale from relatively naive to sophisticated beliefs. There were no significant differences between male and female pre-service teachers in terms of scientific epistemological beliefs and attitudes toward science. Results also showed a positive significant correlation between the scientific epistemological beliefs and attitudes toward science.

“…To overcome this behavior, the student must make a rational decision based on a consideration of means and ends. If the goal is to complete the academic studies, it is necessary to use appropriate means and complete the work on time and without delay (Terzi & Uyangör, 2018). Modeling the relationship between rational decision-making and academic procrastination using different instrumental variables can provide valuable information for interventions aimed at reducing academic procrastination behavior.…”

Recent studies have shown that several psychological factors commonly found in students are associated with academic procrastination. In this study, the effects of rational decision-making and intrinsic motivation on the mechanisms of academic procrastination in college students were investigated. In this context, data were collected from 689 (383 male and 306 female) students enrolled in physical education and sports at universities in Turkey using rational decision-making, academic procrastination, and intrinsic motivation scales. The results showed that students' intrinsic motivation positively influences rational decision-making and negatively influences academic procrastination behavior. In addition, intrinsic motivation has a negative influence on academic procrastination behavior. On the other hand, intrinsic motivation plays a mediating role between rational decision-making and academic procrastination behavior with a high degree of effectiveness. The effect of intrinsic motivation on the effect of rational decision-making on academic procrastination behavior is 45.2%. Thus, intrinsic motivation indirectly and significantly offsets the negative effects of students' rational decision-making on academic procrastination behavior. Since the results of the study are not only scientifically but also practically important, the analytical relationship between students' decision-making styles and academic procrastination behavior as well as the necessary predictions for all motivational components underlying procrastination leading to academic failure should be made.

“…Studies also focused on the relationship between self-concept and self-esteem (Bong and Clark, 1999;Ryan et al, 1994). Certain studies also analyzed the relationship between academic self-efficacy and postponement (Aktaş, 2017;Bong, 2004;Cerino, 2014;Malkoç and Kesen-Mutlu, 2018;Schunk, 1991;Terzi et al, 2017;Ünal, 2013). The current study, however, discussed career decision, another variable closely related to students' academic life.…”

This study aimed to analyze the relationship and predictive effect between the career decision of sports science students and their academic motivation. It also assessed whether career decision and academic motivation varied based on gender and department variables, jointly discussing them in the communication processes used in the instructor-student relationship. The study included 252 students, whose 85 were female and 167 were male, studying in faculty of sports sciences. It also used the 'Career Decision Scale', the 'Academic Motivation Scale', and the "Personal Information Form" to collect the study data. Statistical analysis processes consisted of correlation, multiple linear regression, 2x2 MANOVA, and 2x3 MANOVA analyses. The study findings revealed low and moderate relationships between career decisions, academic motivation, and the sub-dimensions of both main scales. In addition, academic motivation was a significant predictor of career decisions, corresponding to a 19% rate. Considering the gender variable, male students were more undecided in making career decisions than female students. Comparisons between departments also indicated that students in the sports management department displayed more indecisiveness about choosing their careers than in other departments. The ability of the students to have extracurricular communication with instructors influenced their career decisions positively, whereas it negatively influenced students' department-switching propensity. However, there were significant differences among the students' academic motivations based on gender, department, communication processes with the instructor, and department-switching propensity. In conclusion, academic motivation is important for students to choose a successful career. Nonetheless, the student-instructor communication mechanisms are equally effective in career decisions.
