Abstract

Öğrencilerin dikkat kontrol düzeylerinin düşük veya yüksek olmasının sosyal hayatta, öğrenim sürecinde ve mesleki alanda başarısını aynı paralellikte etkileyeceği düşünülmektedir. Bu durumda öğrencilerin dikkat kontrol düzeylerini artırmada önemli olan unsurların belirlenmesi önem teşkil etmektedir.Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin dikkat kontrol düzeylerinin farklı değişkenleraçısından incelemektir. Araştırmaya, Erzurum Atatürk üniversitesi Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulunda öğrenim görmekte olan 268 kadın ve 181 erkek olmak üzere toplam 449 öğrenci katılmıştır. Veri toplamak amacı ile “Dikkat Kontrol Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde frekans dağlımı, t testi ve anovavaryans analizi tekniklerinden yararlanılmıştır. Grupların görüşleri arasındaki fark P 0.05 anlamlılık düzeyi dikkate alınarak yorumlanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre cinsiyet, yaş ve aile yapısı ile dikkat kontrol düzeyi ortalamaları arasında anlamlı farlılık olmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Öğrencilerin spor yapma durumları, spor türü ve haftalık spor yapma süreleri açısından incelendiğinde ise dikkat kontrol düzeyleri ortalamaları arasında anlamlı farlılık olduğu bulunmuştur. Spor yapan öğrencilerin dikkat kontrol düzeylerinin spor yapmayanlara oranla yüksek olduğu sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır. Öneri olarak öğrencilerin meslekleri gereği dikkat kontrol düzeylerinin yüksek olması önemli bir etkendir. Öğrencilerin dikkat kontrol düzeylerinin artırmak için spor yapmaya teşvik edilerek, dikkat kontrolü üzerinde etkili olabilecek farklı unsurların belirlenmesi üzerinde çalışmalar yapılmalıdır
