Ortaöğretim Öğrencilerinin Akademik Başarı ve Başarısızlığını Etkileyen Faktörler

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı eğitim öğretim ortamlarındaki öğrencilerin başarılarını sağlayan ve başarısızlıklarına sebep olan faktörleri araştırmaktır. Araştırmada tarama modellerinden tekil tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında belirlenen amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden aşırı/aykırı durum örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu bir ortaöğretim kurumunun 11. sınıflarında yer alan ve akademik olarak başarılı ya da başarısız olan 21 öğrenciden meydana gelmektedir. Araştırmanın verileri yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme soruları kullanılarak toplanmıştır ve tümevarım yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Görüşme kapsamında uzman görüşleri doğrultusunda araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme soruları öğrencilere sorulmuştur. Öğrencilerden elde edilen cevaplar yazılmış ve önce içerik analiziyle daha sonra ise betimsel analizle incelenmiştir. Başarılı öğrencilerin başarı sağlamalarında “bireysel faktör, öğretmen tutumu faktörü, aile etkisi faktörü ve okul dışı destek faktörlerinin etkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Başarısız öğrencilerin akademik başarısızlığına “derslerin zorluğu, öğretmen tutumu, arkadaş etkisi ve diğer” faktörlerin sebep olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda; tespit edilen başarı ve başarısızlık faktörlerinin eğitim öğretim ortamına olumlu ve etkin bir biçimde nasıl yansıtılabileceğine dair önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
