THE RELATINSHIP BETWEEN TEACHER CANDIDATES’ INDIVIDUAL INNOVATIVENESS AND THEIR LEARNING ATTITUDES

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a significant relationship between level of teacher candidates’ individual innovativeness features and their attitudes on learning. Under this context, teacher candidates’ individual innovativeness and attitudes on learning and their levels are examined. Singular and relational scanning techniques were employed in the study under the context of general scanning model. Singular survey technique was used to determine the opinions of teacher candidates about their individual innovativeness features and attitudes about learning. Relational scanning technique was used to determine the relationship level between teacher candidates’ individual innovativeness features and their levels of attitude on learning. The universe of the study consists of 200 students registered in Harran University Pedagogic Formation Certificate Program in 2012-2013 spring term. Since the aim was to include the universe in the study, no sample was taken. 185 teacher candidates participated in the study. To collect the data, two scales were employed in the study: “Individual Innovativeness Scale” and “Learning Attitude Scale”. When the results were compared with the similar researches, the teacher candidates registered in Harran University Pedagogic Formation Program werefound to be at the level of “Interrogative”, the third level of individual innovativeness. They were found to have high level of attitude for learning. It was also found out that teacher candidates’ individual innovativeness levels do not demonstrate significant difference according to the variables of university that they graduated, gender except for the variable of graduation average. The significant difference was found in favor of participants with high graduation average. The individual innovativeness levels of teacher candidates do not demonstrate significant differences according to university that they graduated and the reasons for formation choice. However, the reasons for teacher’s internet use and self-knowing situations affect their individual innovativeness levels. The study revealed that teacher candidates that know themselves well and use internet for research have higher individual innovativeness. Teacher candidates’ attitudes toward learning do not display significant differences according to university graduation average and the university that they finished. However, there was found a significant difference in favor of women teachers. The teachers who know themselves well have higher levels of attitude toward learning. The levels of attitude on learning do not demonstrate significant difference according to reasons for internet use and formation choice. Teacher candidates’ individual innovativeness levels and their attitudes on learning have positive and medium level relationship.
