An Investigation into Secondary School Students’ Learner Autonomy and Lifelong Learning Skills in Foreign Language Education

Öz

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between learner autonomy and lifelong learning skills of secondary students in foreign language education. The study employed a correlational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. The population consists of students attending secondary schools in the district of Yunusemre in Manisa province in 2024. The study sample comprises 647 secondary school students, selected using convenience sampling, one of the purposive sampling methods. As data collection tools, the "Learner Autonomy Scale" developed by Orakçı (2017) and the "Lifelong Learning Skills Scale" developed by Çiftcibaşı et al. (2020) were utilized. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0 statistical software, and Pearson Correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between students' learner autonomy and lifelong learning skills. One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Independent Samples T-test were conducted to determine whether or not participants' learner autonomy and lifelong learning skills differed according to various variables. The findings revealed that students' learner autonomy levels were at a high level, while their lifelong learning skills levels were at a moderate level. Based on the correlation analysis conducted, a statistically positive, and low-level significant relationship was found between learner autonomy in foreign language education and lifelong learning skills of secondary school students.
