The Relationship between Secondary School Students’ Lifelong Learning Tendencies and Attitudes towards English Lesson as a Foreign Language

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to examine the lifelong learning tendencies of secondary school students and their attitudes towards English as a foreign language and whether there are differences in terms of gender, grade level and school type in terms of these two structures. The population of the study is composed of 744 students, 358 female and 386 male students selected from seven secondary schools by cluster sampling in 2017-2018 academic year, in the secondary schools in Kaynarca district of Sakarya province. Correlational survey model was used to examine these relationships. The 17-item Lifelong Learning Trends Scale developed by Gür-Erdoğan and Arsal (2016) was used to measure participants' lifelong learning tendencies. In order to measure the attitudes of the participants towards the English course, a 30-item Attitudes towards English Scale, which was developed by Hancı-Yanar (2008), was used. In the study, there was a moderate significant relationship between students’ lifelong learning tendencies and attitudes towards English course as a foreign language.
