Üniversite öğrencilerinin evrim teorisine yönelik tutumları

Öz:
Bu çalışmanın amacı, lisans öğrencilerinin evrim teorisine yönelik tutumlarını belirlemektir. Dünya alan yazınında evrim teorisine yönelik öğrenci tutumlarıyla ilgili çok sayıda çalışma varken; ülkemizde evrim öğretimi kapsamında, evrim teorisine yönelik tutumla ilgili detaylı çalışma sayısı kısıtlıdır. Çalışmaya Marmara Bölgesi ve Karadeniz Bölgesi'nden toplam 849 öğrenci katılmış olup bağımsız değişken olarak fakülte, bölüm, lise, evrim dersi, evrim konulu ders, evrim ile ilgili bir etkinlik, anne ve baba eğitim düzeyi, kendilerine ve ailelerine ait gelir düzeyi ile kendilerini tanımlamaları kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin tutumlarını ölçmek için Rutledge ve Sadler (2007) tarafından geliştirilen Likert tipi bir ölçek kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenirlik katsayısı (Cronbach a) .80'dir. Çalışmanın sonucunda fakülte, evrim dersi, bölüm, kendilerini tanımlama, anne eğitim seviyesi, baba eğitim seviyesi ve kendi gelir düzeyleri bağımsız değişkenleri bakımından, tutum ölçeğinden sağlanan puanlarda istatisitiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur (p < 0.05).

Undergraduate students' attitudes towards the theory of evolution

Öz:
The present study aims at investigating the attitudes of undergraduate students towards the theory of evolution (TOE). Even though the body of literature related TOE is abundant, there is limited conducted research in Turkey.The independent variables used in the present study are as follows: faculty, programme, graduated high school, evolution lesson, lesson including evolution, activity related to evolution, educational level of mother, educational level of father, participants' income, participants' families income, and the term described by participants' themselves. The total number of participants is 849 from two universities in Turkey. To measure of students' attitudes towards TOE , Rutledge & Sadler's (2007) survey is used. The reliability of scale (Cronbach a) is .80.The results revealed that depending on faculty, evolution lesson, programme, the term described by participants' themselves, educational level of mother, educational level of father and participants' income variables, students scores change statistically significant at the level of .05.
