Abstract

This study examines the relationship between university students' perceptions of school climate and academic engagement regarding various variables. Within the scope of the research, 302 students, 125 females and 177 males, who are actively continuing their education in all Mugla Sports Sciences Faculty departments, constituted the study sample. “Demographic Information Form” prepared by the researchers, ‘School Climate Scale for University Students’ developed by Terzi (2015), and ‘Academic Engagement Scale for University Students’ developed by Kızılkaya and Doğan (2022) were used to collect data for the study. To determine the demographic characteristics of the data obtained in the study, frequency and percentage analysis, kurtosis, and skewness analyses were performed to understand whether the scale scores were normally distributed, followed by t-test, ANOVA, and correlation analyses. In the statistical analysis and interpretations of the data, a p<.05 significance level was considered. The results show a strong and positive relationship between school climate and academic engagement (r=0.559). The findings show that school climate significantly affects the general level and sub-dimensions of academic engagement; thus, improving school climate can increase students' academic engagement levels. A strong school climate can positively affect students' perceptions of academic engagement by making them feel valued and see themselves as a part of their school.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin okul iklimi algıları ve akademik aidiyetleri arasındaki ilişkinin çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelenmesidir. Araştırma kapsamında Muğla Spor Bilimleri Fakültesinin tüm bölümlerinde aktif olarak öğrenimlerine devam eden 125’i kadın ve 177’si erkek olmak üzere toplam 302 öğrenci çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Çalışmaya veri toplamak amacıyla araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan “Demografik Bilgi Formu”, Terzi (2015) tarafından geliştirilen “Üniversite Öğrencilerine Yönelik Okul İklimi Ölçeği” ve Kızılkaya ve Doğan (2022) tarafından geliştirilen “Üniversite Öğrencilerine Yönelik Akademik Aidiyet Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin demografik özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla frekans ve yüzde analizi, ölçek puanlarının normal dağılım gösterip göstermediğini anlamak amacıyla basıklık (kurtosis) ve çarpıklık (skewness) analizi yapılmış ve devamında t-testi, ANOVA, korelasyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Verilerin istatistiksel analizlerinde ve yorumlarında, p<.05 anlamlılık düzeyi dikkate alınmıştır. Ulaşılan sonuçlara göre, okul iklimi ve akademik aidiyet arasında güçlü ve pozitif yönde bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir (r=0,559). Bulgular okul ikliminin akademik aidiyetin genel düzeyini ve alt boyutlarını anlamlı şekilde etkilediğini, dolayısıyla okul ikliminin iyileştirilmesinin öğrencilerin akademik aidiyet düzeylerini artırabileceğini göstermektedir. Güçlü bir okul iklimi, öğrencilerin kendilerini değerli hissetmelerine ve kendilerini okullarının bir parçası olarak görmelerini sağlayarak akademik aidiyet algılarını olumlu yönde etkileyebilir.
