FEN BİLGİSİ ÖĞRETMEN ADAYLARININ ÖZ-DEĞER İNANÇLARININ BAZI DEĞİŞKENLER AÇISINDAN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, fen bilgisi öğretmen adayları FBÖA ’nın sahip oldukları öz-değer inançlarını alt alanları ile incelemek ve bazı değişkenlerin FBÖA’nın öz-değer inançlarına etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya Türkiye’de orta ölçekli bir üniversitede eğitim alan toplam 250 FBÖA katılmıştır. Veriler ‘Öz-Değer İnanç Anketi’ Crocker, Luhtanen, Cooper ve Bouvrette, 2003 ile toplanmıştır. Anketin Türkçe uyarlaması Çetin, Akın ve Eroğlu 2011 tarafından yapılmıştır. Veri analizinde betimsel analiz, iki yönlü MANOVA analizi ve çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre, FBÖA’nın temel yaşam alanlarındaki memnuniyetleri ve öz-değer inançları yüksek çıkmıştır. Ayrıca cinsiyet ve okul ortalamalarının öz-değer inançlarına ait alt alanlara etkisinin olduğu görülürken, temel yaşam alanlardaki memnuniyetleri gösteren değişkenlerin öz-değer inançları üzerinde herhangi bir etkisinin olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Investigation of Pre-Service Science Teachers’ Self- Worth Beliefs in terms of Some Variables

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service science teachers’ PSTs selfworth beliefs with sub-domains and effects of some variables on these beliefs. A total of 250 PSTs attending to faculty of education in a mid-sized university in Turkey were involved in the study. Data were collected through ‘Self-Worth Scale’ Crocker, Luhtanen, Cooper & Bouvrette, 2003 . It was adapted into Turkish by Çetin, Akın and Eroğlu 2011 . Three kinds of statistical analysis were used: Descriptive statistics, two way MANOVA and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that PSTs’ satisfaction in the life and their self-worth beliefs were high. Additionally, effects of PSTs’ gender and grade point averages were found on sub-domains of self-worth beliefs significantly, while variables indicating satisfaction in the life have no effects on selfworth beliefs
