The present research aims, to determine the predictive role of students’ perceptions of

classroom assessment environment on their attitudes towards school. The sample of the study was

consisted of 398 students who studied at three high schools located in the center of Diyarbakir.

In the research, Attitudes towards School Scale and Classroom Assessment Environment Scale

were used as the data collection tools. The analysis of the obtained data was conducted by

using correlation and multiple regressions. Correlation analysis results revealed that learning

oriented assessment environment was positively related to attitudes towards school. On the

other hand, performance oriented assessment environment was negatively related to attitudes

towards school. According to regression analysis results, students’ perceptions of classroom

assessment environment explain 33 % of total variance on their attitudes towards school.

Anahtar Kelimeler

attitudes towards school, classroom assessment environment, regression analysis.

Öğrencilerin Sınıf Değerlendirme Atmosferine İlişkin Algılarının Okula Yönelik Tutumları Üzerindeki Yordayıcı Rolü

Öz

Bu araştırmada, öğrencilerin sınıf değerlendirme atmosferine ilişkin algılarının okula

yönelik tutumları üzerindeki yordayıcı rolü incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu,

2014-2015 Öğretim Yılı Güz Dönemi’nde Diyarbakır il merkezindeki üç farklı liseden toplam

398 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak; Okula Yönelik Tutum

Ölçeği ile Sınıf Değerlendirme Atmosferi Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen

verilerin çözümlenmesinde korelasyon ve regresyon analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Korelasyon

analizi sonuçlarına göre, okula yönelik tutumun öğrenme odaklı değerlendirme atmosferi

ile pozitif; performans odaklı değerlendirme atmosferi ile negatif anlamlı ilişki içerisinde

olduğu belirlenmiştir. Regresyon analizi sonucunda, öğrencilerin okula yönelik tutumlarının

% 33’ünün sınıf değerlendirme atmosferine yönelik algıları ile açıklanabildiği tespit edilmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

okula yönelik tutum, sınıf değerlendirme atmosferi, regresyon analizi.
