Abstract

Adolescents' views on success serve as a cornerstone in structuring their future. Hence, this study aims to determine the students’ perception on the concept of academic achievement, how they perceive themselves in terms of academic achievement, the barriers to academic achievement, and what they need to eliminate them. The study group, which consists of 29 science high school students studying the 10th grade in the academic year of 2018-19. According to the content analysis, students do not measure academic achievement with grades alone the high school education system relying heavily on grades to measure achievement and being highly competitive, the students address ‘social’, ‘psychological’, ‘cognitive’ and ‘professional’ aspects, as well. It has been identified that 75,9% of the students do not find themselves academically successful, whose reason is based on academic self-evaluations and behavioral manifestation of these academic self-evaluations. Examining students’ perceptions on the barriers to their academic achievements, it has been seen that they fight fierce battles not only with external factors but also with internal factors. When asked about their needs to eliminate such barriers, the students noted the need for individual strategies, sources of motivation and social, psychological, instrumental support to promote academic achievement.

Özet

Ergenlik döneminde gençlerin başarı hakkındaki görüşleri geleceklerini yapılandırmalarında bir mihenk taşı görevi görmektedir. Bu nedenle bu araştırmada akademik başarı kavramı, akademik başarı hedeflerinin önündeki engeller ve bunları ortadan kaldırmak için neye ihtiyaç duyduklarına yönelik öğrenci görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma grubu 2018-19 eğitim-öğretim yılında bir fen lisesinde 10.sınıfta öğrenim gören 29 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. İçerik analizi sonucunda, başarıyı ölçmek için büyük ölçüde notlara dayanan son derece rekabetçi bir eğitim-öğretim sistemi içerisinde olmalarına rağmen öğrencilerin akademik başarıyı yalnızca notlarla değerlendirmedikleri ve ‘Sosyal’, ‘Psikolojik’, ‘Bilişsel’ ve ‘Mesleki’ yönleriyle de ele aldıkları görüldü. Öğrencilerin %75,9’unun kendilerini akademik açıdan başarılı bulmadığı, bunun nedenlerinin ise öğrencinin kendisi hakkındaki akademik değerlendirmelerinin ve bu değerlendirmelerin davranışsal tezahürlerinin olduğu saptandı. Başarılarının önündeki engellere ilişkin algıları incelendiğinde ise öğrencilerin dış faktörlerle olduğu kadar kendi iç mücadelelerine dair de çetin savaşlar verdikleri görüldü. Öğrencilere bu engelleri kaldırmak için neler gerektiği sorulduğunda ise bireysel stratejilere, motivasyon kaynaklarına, sosyal, psikolojik ve araçsal desteğe duydukları ihtiyacı belirttiler.
