Examining the Relationship Between Narcissism Levels of Teacher Candidates and Their Conceptions of Teaching and Learning
Abstract
In this study, the relationship between narcissism levels of pre-service teachers and teaching and learning was examined.It is thought that examining the teaching conceptions of candidate teachers who are preparing for the teaching profession, which is an indispensable part of education, in terms of various variables will contribute. Demographic information form, Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-13) and Teaching and Learning Concepts Scale were applied to the participants as data collection tools. According to the data obtained from the scales applied to physical education and sports teacher candidates, there was no difference between the groups when the variables of leadership, exhibitionism, entitlement, NPI total, constructivist conceptions and traditional conceptions were compared according to gender, age, grade, department and grade point average (p>0.05). When the variables were compared according to their working status, it was seen that there was difference in leadership scores between the participants who worked in any job and the participants who did not work (p<0.05). There was no difference between exhibitionism, entitlement, NPI total, constructivist conceptions and traditional conceptions scores according to the study status (p>0.05). A significant positive correlation was found between the total scores of leadership, exhibitionism, entitlement, NPI and constructivist concepts, which are the sub-dimensions of the narcissism scale, and traditional concepts (p<0.01). As a result, the narcissism levels of pre-service teachers are positively related to both their conceptions and traditional conceptions.
