Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı iki yönlüdür. Birincisi, öğretmen adaylarının başarı amaçları, öğrenme stratejileri ve derse katılımları arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesi; ikincisi ise, başarı amaçlarıyla derse katılımları arasındaki ilişkilerde öğrenme stratejilerinin arabuluculuk rollerinin sorgulanmasıdır. Araştırmada, açıklayıcı ilişkisel desen benimsenmiştir. Araştırmaya toplam 312 öğretmen adayı gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçları, öğretmen adaylarının başarı amaçlarının, öğrenme stratejilerinin ve derse katılımlarının birbirleriyle anlamlı düzeyde ilişkilendiğini göstermiştir. Sonuçlar ayrıca, öğretmen adaylarının öğrenme stratejilerinin başarı amaçlarıyla derse katılımları arasındaki ilişkilerde anlamlı arabuluculuk rolleri oynadığını da göstermiştir. Araştırmada, öğretmen eğitimine ve gelecekte yapılabilecek araştırmalara ilişkin önerilere de yer verilmiştir.

ROSPECTIVE TEACHERS’ ACHIEVEMENT GOALS, LEARNING STRATEGIES AND ENGAGEMENT IN LESSONS: A MEDIATION ANALYSIS

Abstract

The purpose of the present study is twofold. First, it is to examine the relationships between prospective teachers’ achievement goals, learning strategies, and engagement in lessons; and second, it is to investigate the mediating roles of prospective teachers’ learning strategies in the relationships between their achievement goals and engagement in lessons. An explanatory correlational design was adopted in the study. A total of 312 prospective teachers participated voluntarily in the study. The results demonstrated that the prospective teachers’ achievement goals, learning strategies, and engagement in lessons were significantly related to each other. The results also showed that the relationships between the prospective teachers’ achievement goals and engagement in lessons were significantly mediated by their learning strategies. Implications for teacher education and directions for future studies were also discussed in the study.
