Covid-19 Pandemi Sürecinde Üniversite Öğrencilerinin İşlemsel Uzaklık Algısı İle Bilişötesi Farkındalığı Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu araştırmada pandemi döneminde çevrimiçi ders alan üniversite öğrencilerinin işlemsel uzaklık algı düzeyi ve bilişötesi farkındalık düzeyi belirlenerek çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelenmesi ve birbirleri arasındaki ilişki ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada tarama modellerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcılarını çalışmaya katılmayı gönüllü olarak kabul eden 2020-2021 eğitim-öğretim yılı bahar döneminde öğretimi pandemi sebebiyle zorunlu olarak uzaktan eğitim yoluyla devam eden 116 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada kişisel bilgi formu, işlemsel uzaklık ölçeği ve bilişötesi farkındalık envanteri ile toplanmıştır. Yapılan analizlere göre öğrencilerin işlemsel uzaklık algısı düşük ve bilişötesi farkındalığı yüksek düzeyde, korelasyon katsayısına bakıldığında ise işlemsel uzaklık algısı ile bilişötesi farkındalığı arasında orta düzeyde, pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda öğrencilerin işlemsel uzaklık algısı cinsiyet, öğretim türü, yaşadığı bölge ve internette geçirilen zaman değişkenine göre değişmezken bölüm ve bilgisayar sahibi olup olmama durumuna göre anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir. Bilişötesi farkındalık düzeylerinin ise cinsiyet, öğretim türü, bölüm, yaşadığı bölge, bilgisayar sahibi olup olmama durumuna ve internette geçirilen zaman değişkenine göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermediği belirlenmiştir.

Investigation Of The Relationship Between Transactional Distance Perception and Metacognitive Awareness of University Students During The Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine transactional distance (TD) perception and metacognitive awareness (MA) of university students who took online courses during the pandemic period in terms of various variables by determining the level of their TD perception and MA, and to reveal the relationship between their TD perception and MA. In the study, the correlational research design was used. The participants of the study were 116 university students who voluntarily accepted to participate in the study and continued learning through distance education due to the pandemic in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. The data was obtained by the personal information form, the TD scale, and MA inventory. According to the analyses, the level of students' TD perception was low, their MA was high, and the relationship between students' TD perception and MA was significantly moderate in a positive way when the correlation coefficient was considered. Students’ TD perception significantly differed according to department and having personal computer while their perception didn’t change according to gender, daytime or evening education, region where to live, and time spent on the internet. The levels of their MA did not differ significantly according to the variables.
