AB  - Bu çalışmanın amacı, meslek lisesi son sınıf öğrencilerinin azim düzeyleri ile üniversite kazanma durumu arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek ve azim becerisi değişkeninin cinsiyet, anne-baba eğitim durumu ve genel not ortalamasına göre farklılaşma durumunu incelemektir. Çalışma 2023-2024 öğretim yılının ikinci döneminde, Kastamonu ilinde bir meslek lisesinde öğrenim gören 166 son sınıf öğrencisinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada nicel araştırma desenlerinden korelasyonel araştırma modeli kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak, meslek lisesi son sınıf öğrencilerinin demografik özelliklerinin bulunduğu anket ile orijinali Duckworth ve Quinn (2009) tarafından geliştirilmiş ve Sarıçam, Çelik ve Oğuz (2016) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanıp geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları yapılmış olan “Kısa Azim Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, meslek lisesi son sınıf öğrencilerinin azim becerilerinin orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin azim becerisi, cinsiyet, genel not ortalaması ve anne-baba eğitim durumu açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin azim ve üniversite kazanma durumu arasında da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır.

N2  - The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between the grit levels of vocational high school senior students and their university admission status and to examine the differentiation of the grit according to gender, parents' educational status, and general grade point average. The study was conducted in the second semester of the 2023-2024 academic year with the participation of 166 senior students studying at a vocational high school in Kastamonu province. In this study, one of the quantitative research designs, correlational research model was used. Data collection was done using a survey consisting of the demographic characteristics of vocational high school senior students "Short Grit Scale", originally developed by Duckworth and Quinn, (2009) and adapted to Turkish by Sarıçam, Çelik and Oğuz, (2016) and tested for validity and reliability. According to the results of analysis, it was determined that the grit skills of vocational high school senior students were at a medium level. The students' grit skills did not show a statistically significant difference in terms of gender, GPA, and parents' education level. In addition, there was no statistically significant relationship between students' grit and university admission.
