Ortaokul Öğrencilerinin Matematiğe Yönelik Tutumları ile Özdüzenleme Becerileri Arasındaki İlişki

Öz

Bu çalışma, ortaokul öğrencilerinin matematiğe yönelik tutumlarına ilişkin algıları ile özdüzenleme becerilerine ilişkin algıları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, nicel bir araştırma yöntemi olan ilişkisel tarama modeli çerçevesinde tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini, Denizli il merkezindeki ortaokul öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma, basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenen 464 öğrencinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, "Matematiğe Yönelik Tutum Envanteri" ve "Özdüzenleme Ölçeği" kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler, betimsel istatistik ve korelasyon analizi ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, ortaokul öğrencilerinin matematiğe yönelik tutumlarına ve tutumun bir boyutu olan özgüvenlerine ilişkin algılarının yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin matematiğe yönelik tutumlarına ilişkin algıları ile özdüzenleme, hedef belirleme ve planlama algıları arasında düşük düzeyde pozitif bir korelasyon olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak, öğrencilerin özdüzenleme algıları ile matematikte keyif alma ve motivasyon algıları arasında düşük düzeyde pozitif bir korelasyon bulunmuştur.

The Relationship between Middle School Students’ Attitudes towards Mathematics and Their Self-Regulation Skills

Öz

The present study set out to explore the relationship between middle school students' perceptions of their attitudes towards maths and their perceptions of their self-regulation skills. The study was designed around a correlational survey model, a quantitative research method. The study population consisted of middle school students in the central districts of Denizli. The study was conducted with the participation of 464 students identified by a simple random sampling technique. The data collection tools were the "Attitude towards Mathematics Inventory" and the "Self-Regulation Scale". Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were employed to analyze the data acquired in the study. The results of the study show that the middle school students' perceptions regarding their attitude towards mathematics and self-confidence, which is a dimension of the attitude, were found to be high. In addition, there was also a low-level positive correlation between the students' perceptions of their attitudes towards mathematics and their perceptions of self-regulation, goal setting and planning. Finally, there was a low-level positive correlation between the students' perceptions of their self-regulation and their perceptions of their enjoyment and motivation in mathematics.
