Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the student’s online information searching

strategies according to internet parenting styles. Cross-sectional survey method was employed

in the research. Data were collected from 242 fifth and sixth graders who were studying in two

different schools in Istanbul, by using “Online Information Searching Strategies Inventory”

and “Internet Parenting Styles Scale”. Kruskal Wallis H and Mann Whitney U tests were used

to analyze the data. Analyzes showed that student’s online information searching strategies

differed significantly according to internet parenting styles. Students whose parents were identified as “democratic”, scored higher both in total and in behavioral, procedural, and

metacognitive factors compared to students whose parents were identified as “permissive”,

“laissez faire”, or “authoritarian”.

Aile Tutumlarına Göre Ortaöğretim Öğrencilerinde Çevrimiçi Bilgi Arama Stratejilerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu araştırmada ortaokul öğrencilerinin çevrimiçi bilgi arama stratejilerinin, ailelerin

internet tutumları açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Genel tarama modellerinden kesitsel

tarama modelinin kullanıldığı araştırmada veriler, İstanbul’daki iki okulun toplam 242 beşinci

ve altıncı sınıf öğrencisinden “Çevrimiçi Bilgi Arama Stratejileri Envanteri” ve “İnternet

Aile Tutum Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Kruskal Wallis H ve Mann

Whitney U testleri kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda öğrencilerin çevrimiçi bilgi arama

stratejilerinin aile tutumlarına göre anlamlı olarak farklılaştığı görülmüştür. Ailelerinin

internet tutumu “demokratik” olarak belirlenen öğrencilerin bilgi arama stratejilerinin

müsamahakar, ihmalkar ve otoriter internet tutumuna sahip ailelerin çocuklarına göre hem

toplam puan bazında hem de davranışsal, prosedürsel ve meta-bilişsel alanlarda daha yüksek

olduğu görülmüştür.
