Examination of Secondary School Students' Attitudes Towards Intangible Cultural Heritage

Öz

Intangible cultural heritage carries the essence and national character of a culture. Individuals’ knowledge of this culture and its essence may help in the construction of national identity within the scope of civic education. This research, which aims to examine secondary school students’ attitudes towards intangible cultural heritage, is approached within the framework of a quantitative research paradigm. The sample for this study consists of 320 gifted and typically/normally developing secondary school students studying in various districts of Izmir Province in Turkiye. In this study, data has been collected using the Intangible Cultural Heritage Attitude Scale and analyzed using SPSS 2020 software. The study concludes that while gifted students have positive attitudes towards intangible cultural heritage, typically developing/non-gifted students also have positive attitudes, but these attitudes need improvement. The study also concludes that in both groups, the highest attitude score is sen in the “social life” sub-dimension, while the lowest attitude score is seen in the “knowledge and applications regarding nature and the universe” sub-dimension. Moreover, the study concludes that gifted students’ attitudes towards intangible cultural heritage are significantly higher than those of typically developing students in all sub-dimensions and in total scores.

Ortaokul Öğrencilerinin Somut Olmayan Kültürel Mirasa Yönelik Tutumlarının İncelenmesi

Öz

Somut olmayan kültürel miras, bir kültürün özünü ve ulusal karakterini taşır. Bireylerin bu kültür ve özü hakkındaki bilgisi, yurttaşlık eğitimi kapsamında ulusal kimliğin inşasına yardımcı olabilir. Ortaokul öğrencilerinin somut olmayan kültürel mirasa yönelik tutumlarını incelemeyi amaçlayan bu araştırma, nicel araştırma paradigması kapsamında ele alınmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi, Türkiye’nin İzmir İlinin çeşitli ilçelerinde öğrenim gören üstün yetenekli ve tipik/normal gelişim gösteren 320 ortaokul öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada somut olmayan kültürel miras tutum ölçeği kullanılarak veriler toplanmış ve SPSS 2020 programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin somut olmayan kültürel mirasa yönelik tutumlarının olumlu olduğu, tipik gelişim gösteren/üstün yetenekli olmayan ortaokul öğrencilerinin de tutumlarının olumlu olduğu ancak geliştirilmesi gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Her iki grupta da en yüksek tutum puanı “Sosyal Hayat” alt boyutunda, en düşük tutum puanı ise “Doğa ve Evren Üzerine Bilgi ve Uygulamalar” alt boyutunda görüldüğü sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. üstün zekâlı öğrencilerin somut olmayan kültürel mirasa yönelik tutumlarının tüm alt boyutlarda ve toplam puanda tipik gelişim gösteren öğrencilerden anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek olduğu sonuçlanmıştır.
