Abstract

ÖZET
Zor problemlerle karşılaştıklarında bazı öğrenciler hemen pes edip çalışmayı bırakırken, bazıları problemi çözmek için neden daha fazla uğraşmaktadırlar? Çocukların başarısızlıkla nasıl başetmeye çalıştıkları üzerine araştırmalar yapan Amerikalı sosyal psikolog Carol Dweck, bu durumu zihniyet kuramı ile açıklamaktadır. Öz inanç veya örtük zekâ kuramı adı ile de ifade edilen bu kurama göre, insanların temel özellikleri ile ilgili inançları; onların motivasyonlarını, öğrenmeye yaklaşımlarını ve başarı durumlarını yakından etkilemektedir. Bu kurama göre insanlar, sabit ve büyüme zihniyetine sahip olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılmaktadırlar. Sabit zihniyete sahip bireyler, zeka, yetenek veya kişilik gibi temel özelliklerinin değişmeyeceğine inanırlar. Bu zihniyete sahip bireylerin gelişme umutları fazla olmadığından genellikle öğrenmeye karşı motivasyonları, azim ve kararlılıkları da düşüktür. Büyüme zihniyetine sahip bireylerde; zeka, yetenek gibi temel özelliklerinin deştirilebileceği düşüncesi hakimdir. Büyüme zihniyetine sahip bireyler öğrenmeye karşı yüksek bir motivasyona sahip olup, daha iyi olmak için sürekli çaba sarfederler. Yapılan çalışmalar zihniyetin değiştirilebileceğine, gelişme zihniyetinin okuldaki yüksek başarı ile bağlantılı olduğuna dair önemli kanıtlar olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma, büyüme zihniyetinin öğrenme motivasyonu üzerine etkisini ilgili literatüre göre incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Zihniyet kuramı, öğrenmenin anlaşılması ve arttırılması için geniş bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışmanın, eğitimciler, ebeveynler ve öğrenciler için uygun öğrenme ortamları sağlamada yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
Anahtar Kelimeler; Zihniyet kuramı, öğrenme motivasyonu, sabit zihniyet, büyüme zihniyeti.

Abstract

Why do a number of students struggle more while others easily give up studying when encountering tough problems? American Social Psychologist Carol Dweck, who does research on how children attempt to cope with failure, explains this case through the theory of mindset. According to this theory, which is also referred to as Implicit Beliefs about Intelligence or Implicit Theory of Intelligence, people’s beliefs about their own basic skills influence their motivations, approaches to learning and achievement levels vastly. This theory views that people are divided into two groups: ones with a fixed mindset and others with a growth mindset. Individuals with a fixed mindset believe that their basic features such as intelligence, abilities and personalities do not change. Individuals with such a mindset generally have low motivation, enthusiasm and decisiveness as they do not have high hopes to improve. For the individuals with growth mindset, the prevailing opinion is that basic traits like intelligence and aptitude may be changed. Individuals with growth mindset have high motivation to learn and always struggle to succeed. Studies conducted provide significant proofs that mindset may be modified and growth mindset is closely related to high achievement at school. This study aims to investigate the impact of growth mindset on learning motivation regarding the relevant literature. Theory of mindset presents a wide framework to understand and improve learning. Therefore, it is believed that the present study will be beneficial for educators, parents and students in providing appropriate learning environments.
