Attitudes and Beliefs of Primary School Teaching UndergraduateStudents towards Mathematics and Their Effects on MathematicsAchievement
Öz: The purpose of this study is to determine undergraduate students’ attitudes and mathematics beliefs and examine the effects of these variables on mathematics achievement. The study was designed according to the relational survey model. Total of 334 undergraduate students educated in the primary school teaching department formed the study group of research. In the study, as data collection tools, “Attitude towards Mathematics Scale” and “Mathematics Belief Scale” were applied respectively. In the process of data analysis; descriptive statistics, Pearson Moment Correlation and multiple regression analysis were applied. As a result, it was found out that the attitudes and beliefs of primary school undergraduate students towards mathematics were moderate. On the other hand, it was concluded that students' attitudes and beliefs towards mathematics also predicted their mathematics achievement scores. Besides, it can be suggested to examine the variables such as anxiety, self-efficacy and professional attitude among the affective factors affecting mathematics achievement.
Anahtar Kelime: Sınıf Öğretmenliği Lisans Öğrencilerinin Matematiğe Yönelik Tutumları ile İnançlarının Matematik Başarısı Üzerine Etkisi
Öz: Bu araştırmanın amacı, sınıf öğretmenliği lisans öğrencilerinin matematiğe yöneliktutum ve matematik inançlarını belirleyerek bu değişkenlerin matematik başarısıüzerine etkisini irdelemektir. Araştırma, nicel araştırma desenlerinden ilişkisel taramamodeline göre tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, Sınıf ÖğretmenliğiAnabilim Dalı’na devam eden toplam 334 lisans öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Veri toplamaaracı olarak “Matematiğe Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” ve “Matematik İnanç Ölçeği”uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analiz sürecinde ise sırası ile betimsel istatistik, Pearsonmoment korelasyon değeri ve çoklu regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanınsonucunda, araştırmaya katılan sınıf öğretmenliği lisans öğrencilerinin matematiğeyönelik tutumları ve inançlarının orta düzeyde olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Diğertaraftan çalışmada matematiğe yönelik tutum ve inançların lisans öğrencilerininmatematik başarılarını yordadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Buna göre bundan sonrayapılacak çalışmalarla, matematik başarısını etkileyen duyuşsal faktörlerden kaygı, özyeterlilik, mesleki tutum gibi değişkenlerin irdelenmesi önerilebilir.
