Abstract

This study aimed to examine adult learners’ perceptions of social network–based learning, their levels of individual innovativeness, and the relationships among these factors. For this purpose, a quantitative research method with a correlational survey design was employed. The research sample consisted of adults enrolled in Public Education Centers in Yalova province during the 2023–2024 academic year. Participants were selected using a non-random purposive sampling method, with 363 adults aged 18–61 participating in the study. The data were collected using the Individual Innovativeness Scale and the Social Network–Based Learning Perception Scale. The results indicate that participants fall into the early majority of the innovation adoption curve, with generally low levels of individual innovativeness. Most participants’ perceptions of social network–based learning are moderate or above moderate. Adults’ perceptions of social network–based learning vary by age, duration of social network use, and number of friends on social networks, but not by gender or education level. A positive relationship was found between adults’ innovativeness and their perceptions of social network–based learning.

Özet

Bu araştırmada, yetişkin öğrenenlerin sosyal ağlara dayalı öğrenme algıları ile bireysel yenilikçilikleri ve bunlar arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırma örneklemini, 2023 – 2024 eğitim öğretim yılında, Yalova iline bağlı ilçelerdeki Halk Eğitimi Merkezlerinde eğitim almakta olan yetişkinler oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcılar seçkisiz olmayan amaçlı örneklem türlerinden ölçüt örneklem yöntemiyle belirlenmiştir. Araştırmaya 18-61 yaş üstü 363 yetişkin katılmıştır. Araştırma verileri Bireysel Yenilikçilik Ölçeği ve Sosyal Ağlara Dayalı Öğrenme Algısı ölçekleri ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, katılımcılar yeniliklere sorgulayıcı bir şekilde yaklaşmaktadırlar. Katılımcıların yenilikçilik düzeyleri düşüktür. Katılımcıların çoğunluğunun sosyal ağlara dayalı öğrenme algıları orta ve ortanın üzerindedir. Yetişkinlerin sosyal ağlara dayalı öğrenmeye yönelik algılarında, cinsiyet ve eğitim düzeyi değişkenleri dışındaki, yaş, sosyal ağ kullanım süresi ve sosyal ağlardaki arkadaş sayısı değişkenlerine göre farklılık vardır. Yetişkinlerin bireysel yenilikçilikleri ile sosyal ağlara dayalı öğrenme algıları arasında pozitif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir.
