An Analysis of the Effects of Teacher Candidates' Epistemological Beliefs on Problem Solving Skills and Levels of Power

Abstract

The epistemological belief is based on variables such as the way in which the individual processes and interprets the information they meet, their level of comprehension, their working strategies, and their ability to think at higher levels have decisive effects. The problem of this research is therefore how the epistemological beliefs on the levels of problem solving and empowerment that may affect the availability of knowledge and knowledge of prospective teacher candidates playing an important role in education constitute the problem. The study group o the study is composed o 80 emale and 70 male students who are studying at Düzce University Preschool Teaching Department. The 'Rosenbaum Learned Achievement Scale' developed by Rosenbaum (1980) and the 'Problem Solving Inventory' developed by Heppner and Petersen (1982) and 'Epistemological Belief Scale' developed by Schommer (1990) was used for data collection tools. The study shows that the level of problem solving and empowerment of individuals who have developed epistemological beliefs is also high in a similar direction. At this point, it would be appropriate to support epistemological beliefs and apply treatment to this goal in order to strengthen the problem solving and strength skills about individuals who are particularly exposed to psychologically depressing and jarringly negative situations.
