USING GOAL ACCOMPLISHMENT STYLE TO PREDICT GEOGRAPHY ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı; (1) sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının sahip oldukları hedefi gerçekleştirme stillerini tanımlamak, (2) öğretmen adaylarının hedefi gerçekleştirme stilleri ile coğrafya dersi akademik başarıları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek ve (3) bu çalışmadan elde edilen bulguların coğrafya dersi öğretim programı ve öğretim yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesine yönelik öneriler getirmektir. Bu araştırma, Atman tarafından geliştirilen Hedefi Gerçekleştirme Indeksi (HGI)’ne dayandırılmıştır. Katılımcılardan elde edilen verilerin analizinde ve araştırma hipotezlerinin test edilmesinde, çoklu regresyon ve betimsel veri analizi kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının hedefi gerçekleştirme stillerinin coğrafya dersi akademik başarısının iyi bir yordayıcısı olduğunu göstermiştir
