The main aims of the study are to investigate whether their burnout levels vary according to gender and grade levels, and to check the correlation between overall burnout levels and their English language proficiency attained with a specific test. The study followed a quantitative research design, the data of which were collected via a questionnaire. The participants of the study were 10th, 11th and 12th grade students (n=62).

Özet

Bu çalışma lise öğrencilerinin tükenmişlik seviyelerini incelemektedir. Çalışmanın temel amacı özel bir sınav ile elde edilen İngilizce yeterlik seviyesi ile genel tükenmişlik seviyesi arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesinin yanı sıra öğrencilerin tükenmişlik seviyelerinin cinsiyet ve sınıf bazında değişiklik gösterip göstermediğini araştırmaktır. Nicel araştırma yönteminin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada gerekli veriler anket aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Çalışma katılımcılarını 10, 11 ve 12. sınıf öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır (n=62). Bulgular öğrencilerin genel tükenmişlik seviyelerinde artış olduğunu göstermektedir. Tüm sınıflarda tükenmişlik alt faktörü en yüksek seviyededir. Cinsiyet ve sınıf düzeyinin etkisine ilişkin genel tükenmişlik ve duyarsızlaşma seviyesinin 12. sınıf erkek öğrenciler arasında en yüksek seviyede olduğu, 10. sınıf kız öğrencilerinin ise yetkinlik alt faktörüne ilişkin seviyelerinde düşüş olduğu belirlenmiştir. Son olarak, öğrencilerin genel tükenmişlik ve İngilizce yeterlilik seviyeleri arasında herhangi bir ilişki bulunmamıştır
