When reviewed the answers with respect to the sexuality “I don’t success because I believe that unnecessary some courses” , “My success is prevented due to insufficient course material and resources” were significant.

SINAV HAZIRLIKLARI VE SINAV SÜRECİNDE YAŞANAN BAZI OLUMSUZLUKLARIN ÖĞRENCİ BAŞARISINA ETKİSİ

Abstract

Araştırma Atatürk Üniversitesi Kâzım Karabekir Eğitim fakültesi ve Erzincan Eğitim fakültesinde yapılmıştır. Her iki fakültede öğrenim gören 456 öğrenciye anket uygulanarak sınava hazırlanırken ve sınav sırasında yaşanan olumsuzlukların öğrenci başarısına etkisi ile ilgili görüşler alınmıştır. Elde edilen verilere X2 “uyum kontrol testi” uygulanarak önemlilik dereceleri tespit edilmiştir (p < 0,05). Neticede, istatistiki olarak (p < 0,05’e göre) verilen cevapların cinsiyet ile ilişkisinde “Gerekliliğine inanmadığım derslerden başarısız oluyorum” , “Ders dokümanları ve kaynakların yetersizliği başarımı olumsuz etkiliyor” ifadelerinde; sınıf düzeylerine göre ise, “Sınav programındaki düzensizlikler ve sınavların üst üste gelmesi başarımı düşürüyor” ve “Sınavlarda çok heyecanlanmam, başarımı düşürüyor” ifadelerinde %5 seviyesinde anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur.
