                            <p>Bu çalışmanın amacı, Güçlü Yön Temelli Yaklaşımın (GYTY) İngilizce dersinde öğrencilerin devam, akademik başarı ve motivasyon düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Bu amaçla 2011-2012 akademik yılı Bahar yarıyılında bir devlet üniversitesinde birinci sınıf öğrencilerinin katıldığı deneysel bir çalışma yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın örnekleminde deney grubunda 33, kontrol grubunda 33 olmak üzere toplam 66 öğrenci yer almıştır. Uygulama haftada iki saat olarak okutulan İngilizce dersinde yapılmıştır. Araştırmada öntest-sontest kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında öğrencilerin yetenek temalarını belirlemek için internet tabanlı Clifton güç bulucu ölçeğinden yararlanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin motivasyon düzeylerine ilişkin veriler ise Gardner (1985) tarafından geliştirilen Tutum / Motivasyon Test Havuzundan alınan motivasyon ölçeği ile elde edilmiştir. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin İngilizce dersine devam oranlarını gösteren veriler ise araştırmacı tarafından hem güz döneminde hem de bahar döneminde haftalık olarak alınan ders yoklama belgelerinden alınmıştır. Öğrencilerin akademik başarı düzeyleri hakkında bilgi edinmek için araştırmacı tarafından güz ve bahar yarıyılında uygulanan yıl içi ve yıl sonu sınavlarından alınan puanlar esas alınmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, öğrencilerin yetenek temaları içinde en sık rastlanan yetenek temalarının 16 öğrencinin sahip olduğu düzelten, 11 öğrencinin sahip olduğu sorumlu ve 9’ar öğrencinin sahip olduğu tedbirli, fikir ve öğrenici olduğu anlaşılmıştır. GYTY’nin öğrencilerin derse devam oranını deney grubu lehine olmak üzere olumlu olarak etkilediği, ancak akademik başarıları ve motivasyon düzeyleri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığı araştırmada ulaşılan diğer sonuçlardır. GYTY’nin farklı çalışmalara konu edilerek ayrıntılı olarak araştırılması, eğitim sürecinin daha verimli olmasını isteyen karar vericiler için yeni bir alternatif bulunması açısından önemli görülmektedir.</p></trans-abstract>

For this purpose, an experimental study was carried out with freshman students at a state university in Turkey in the spring term of 2011-2012 academic year. The sampling of the study consisted of 66 students in total, 33 students in experimental group and 33 students in control group. Pretest posttest quasi-experimental design with a control group was used in the study. Clifton StrengthsfinderTM was used to determine the talent themes of students. The data on the motivation levels of students were obtained through the motivation scale, which was adapted from Attitude/Motivation Test Battery developed by Gardner (1985). The data regarding the attendance percentages of students in English class were obtained from attendance sheets taken by the researcher weekly. Students’ exam scores in mid-term and final exams administered by the researcher in both terms were taken into consideration for the academic achievement of students. The study indicated that the most frequently encountered talent themes were restorative (f=16), responsibility (f=11), deliberative (f=9), ideation (f=9) and learner (f=9) respectively. Also, SBA affected the attendance rates of students positively in favour of experimental group; however, it didn’t have a significant effect on students’ academic achievement and motivation levels. It is considered important to study SBA, which is a fairly new area of study for both the world and Turkey.</p></abstract>
