Öğrencilerin özellikle yüksek öğretim aşamasında zamanlarınıiyi yönetmesi, kişisel gelişim ve akademik performans başta olmak üzere pek çok açıdan önemlidir. Literatürde öğrencilerin zaman yönetimi ile ilgili çalışmalardan farklıolarak, bu çalışma, Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu öğrencileri ile yapılan ilk çalışmadır. Bu araştırmada; öğrencilerin zaman yönetimi becerileri ile akademik başarılarıarasında bir ilişki olup olmadığısorusuna cevap aranmıştır. Bu amaçla, öğrencilere zaman yönetimi anketi uygulanmışve aldıklarıpuanlar hesaplanmıştır. Akademik başarıları, bölümlerde ortak olan Türk Dili-1 dersi ve Matematik-1 derslerinin ortalamasıalınarak oluşturulmuştur. Zaman yönetimi anketinden aldıklarıpuan ile akademik başarıortalamalarııarasında bir ilişki olup olmadığıaraştırılmıştır. Veri toplama aracıolarak öğrencilere anket uygulanmıştır. Zaman Yönetimi Anketi olarak adlandırılan veri toplama aracı2008-2009 öğretim yılımayıs ayıiçerisinde Marmara Üniversitesi Teknik Bilimler Meslek yüksekokulu öğrencilerine uygulanmıştır. Uygulanan anket iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. ZYA’nın birinci bölümünde öğrencilerin demografik özelliklerini ve akademik başarıpuanınıoluşturmak için Türk Dili-1 ve matematik-1 notlarınıiçeren bölüm, ikinci bölümde zaman yönetimi anketi yer almaktadır. Elde edilen veriler, SPSS 17.0 programıkullanılarak bilgisayar ortamına aktarılarak verilerin analizinde bu programdan yararlanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak; araştırmamızda zaman yönetimi davranışlarıile akademik başarıpuanlarıarasında anlamlıpozitif ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca akademik başarınotu yüksek olan grupların zaman yönetimi puanlarıda yüksek bulunmuştur.
Nowadays, time management has become more and more important due to the rapid change of technology. Hence, people have to plan their days efficiently to avoid daily hassles. Especially time management has become vital for college students to get good grades in their lectures. So, students must learn how to manage their time and how to improve their time management skills for having well education and business life. We researched students’ time management behaviours according to their various variables such as: gender, department, and so on… To achieve this goal, we used common survey as mentioned in literature. Therefore, the relationship between students' time management skills and academic success were examined. The structure of survey and the types of questions will describe below. The universe of research studies is consisted of Marmara University Vocational School of Technical Sciences students. The results reflect the properties of this universe. Wider sample of the research supplies more correct results. These research is a descriptive study. The universe of the survey consists of Marmara University Vocational School of Technical Sciences Computer Programming, Electronic Communications Technology, Electronics Technology, Electrical, Mechanical, Textile Technology, Biomedical Equipment Technology program students who first or second year in Marmara University. This survey is applied according to Britton and Tesser’s 1991 survey. Their survey adapted by Alay and Koçak 2002 which called "Time Management Survey". Time Management Survey consists of two main parts. The first part includes students' demographic characteristics and academic achievements scores. Turkish Language and math courses they take into consideration for calculating the academic success score. The other part of the survey includes time management and students spend time questions. Time Management Survey comprises three main factors and 27 questions. 16 of those questions are about “Time Planning”, 7 of those are about “Time Attitudes”, and 4 of those are about “Spending Time”. Likert-type scale is used in “Time Management Survey”. Survey data were transferred to SPSS 17.0; Then data analysed and comparison. The first part of the survey, 56% of them are girls, 44% of them are boys, 75.8% of them are 2nd year students, 61% of them are formal education students; and virtually all students are graduated from vocational lycee 90.5% . Survey reliability coefficient Cronbach alpha was found 0.675. The causes of time loss for students were followed in many ways. The main cause of time loss is “computer usage” 33% the others are “internet usage” 24% , transport and traffic 13% , TV-radio 9% , sleep disorder 8% , routine work 7% , respectively. Talking with friends were found unnecessary due to the increasing of instant-message program usage. For determining the time management behaviours of students, their scores’ arithmetic mean were calculated and statistical analysis were made according to this average. Likert scale was used for the survey, so the midpoint is 3. Probable scores could be between “27” and “135” although the results were found between “43” and “135” and average score was found “3.07”. The relationship between “Time Management scores of students” and “academic success of students” was determined by using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient method. Significant relationship between “attitudes time” and “academic achievement” was found r =-. 15, p
