The Mediator Role of Learning Agility in the Relationship between Preservice Teachers’ Interpersonal Communication Competence and Teacher Efficacy

Öz

The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural relationships among preservice teachers’ interpersonal communication competence, teacher efficacy, and learning agility. The participants of this correlational research were composed of 449 preservice teachers. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze data. As a result of data analysis, it was found that learning agility, listening skill, and expressiveness skill had a direct, positive, and significant effect on teacher efficacy. Listening, social relaxation, empathy, and expressiveness skills, which are the four dimensions of interpersonal communication competency, had a direct, positive, and significant effect on learning agility. Additionally, it was observed that learning agility had a positive and significant role in the relationship of empathy and expressiveness skills with teacher efficacy. These findings showed that interpersonal communication competence is an important factor affecting both learning agility and teacher efficacy. The results also showed that learning agility is an important factor in teacher efficacy.

Öğretmen Adaylarının Kişilerarası İletişim Yetkinlikleri ile Öğretmen Özyeterlikleri Arasındaki İlişkide Öğrenme Çevikliğinin Aracı Rolü

Öz

Bu Çalışmanın amacı öğretmen adaylarının kişisel iletişim yetkinlikleri, öğretmen özyeterlikleri ve öğrenme çevikliği arasındaki yapısal ilişkilerin incelenmesidir. Bu ilişkisel araştırmanın katılımcılarını 449 öğretmen adayı oluşturmuştur. Verilerin analizi yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda öğrenme çevikliğinin, dinleme becerisinin ve ifade becerisinin öğretmen özyeterliği üzerinde doğrudan, olumlu ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Kişilerarası iletişim yetkinliğinin boyutları olan dinleme becerisi, sosyal rahatlık becerisi, empati becerisi ve ifade becerisi öğrenme çevikliğini anlamlı, olumlu ve doğrudan etkilemiştir. Ek olarak, öğrenme çevikliğinin empati becerisi ve ifade becerisi ile öğretmen özyeterliği arasındaki ilişkide anlamlı ve olumlu bir rolü olduğu görülmüştür. Bu bulgular kişilerarası iletişim yetkinliğinin hem öğrenme çevikliğini hem de öğretmen özyeterliğini etkileyen faktörlerden biri olduğunu göstermiştir. Bulgular ayrıca öğrenme çevikliğinin öğretmen özyeterliği üzerinde önemli bir faktör olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır.
