Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi Öğrencilerinin Akademik Hedef Yönelimleri ile Olası Benlikleri Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmen adaylarının akademik hedef yönelimleri ile olası benlikleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Çalışmaya toplam 384 öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Demografik Bilgi Formu, Akademik Hedef Yönelimi Ölçeği ve Olası Benlikler Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre öğretmen adaylarının akademik hedef yönelimi alt boyutları arasında negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki, beklenen olası benlikler alt boyutları arasında pozitif bir ilişki ve korkulan olası benlikler alt boyutları arasında pozitif bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, Öğrenme boyutu ile beklenen olası benlikler alt boyutları arasında pozitif yönde, Kaçınma alt boyutu ile beklenen olası benlikler ölçeği arasında ise negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Akademik hedef yönelimi ve olası benlikler alt boyutlarına ilişkin regresyon analizi, öğretmen adaylarının olası benlikler alt boyutlarının akademik hedef yönelimi düzeylerini açıklamadığını veya yansıtmadığını göstermiştir. Bu bulgu, katılımcıların olası benliklerinin akademik hedef yönelimi düzeylerinin bir göstergesi olmadığını göstermektedir.

Examination of the Relationship Between Academic Goal Orientation and Possible Selves of the Faculty of Sports Sciences Students

Öz

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between academic goal orientations and the possible selves of teacher candidates. A total of 384 teacher candidates participated in the study as a sample. The Demographic Information Form, Academic Goal Orientation Scale, and Possible Selves Scale were used as data collection tools. The results revealed a significant negative relationship between the sub-dimensions of teacher candidates' academic goal orientation, a positive relationship between the sub-dimensions of expected possible selves, and a positive relationship between the sub-dimensions of feared possible selves. Additionally, a positive correlation was found between the Learning dimension and the sub-dimensions of expected possible selves, while a negative correlation was observed between the Avoidance sub-dimension and the expected possible selves scale. Regression analysis of academic goal orientation and possible selves sub-dimensions indicated that the possible selves sub-dimensions of teacher candidates did not explain or reflect their academic goal orientation levels. This finding suggests that the participants' possible selves were not indicators of their academic goal orientation levels.
