Bilgi işlemsel Düşünme, Hayat Boyu Öğrenme Yetkinlikleri ve Kişilik Özellikleri Arasındaki İlişkinin Path Analizi Kullanılarak İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin bilgi-işlemsel düşünme, yaşam boyu öğrenme yeterlikleri ve kişilik özellikleri arasındaki ilişkilerin tespit edilmesidir. Çalışmada belirlenen değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri açıklayan ve yordayan bir model ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma grubunun belirlenmesinde uygun/elverişli örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Betimsel tarama türündeki bu çalışmada, 228 tane üniversitede öğrenim gören öğrenciden sosyal medya üzerinden veri toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, korelasyon ve yol analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; yol analizi bulguları doğrultusunda, dışa dönüklük, yumuşak başlılık, ve deneyime açıklık, hesaplamalı düşünme üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif etkilidir. Kişilik boyutlarından yumuşak başlılık büyük derecede etkiye sahipken dışa dönüklük ve deneyime açıklık bilgi-işlemsel düşünme üzerinde orta etkiye sahiptir. Ayrıca, bilgi-işlemsel düşünme yaşam boyu öğrenme yetkinliklerini önemli ölçüde yordamaktadır.

Examining the Relationship between Computational Thinking, Lifelong Learning Competencies and Personality Traits Using Path Analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between computational thinking, lifelong learning competencies and personality traits of university students. It was aimed to create a model that explains and predicts the relationship among the variables determined in the study. Convenience sampling method was used in determining the study group. Data were collected from 228 university students through social media. Descriptive statistics, correlation and path analysis were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that extroversion, agreeableness, and openness are statistically significant predictors of computational thinking. Among the personality traits, agreeableness yielded the greatest effect, while extroversion and openness resulted in medium effect on computational thinking. In addition, computational thinking significantly predicts lifelong learning competencies.
