Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between university students' online information search strategies, critical thinking dispositions and decision-making styles. The participants of the study consisted of 370 students studying at a university in Turkey. 225 of the participants are female and 145 are males. The data in the study were collected using the Online Information Searching Strategy Inventory, Decision- Making Style Scale and UF/EMI (University of Florida Engagement, Maturity and Innovativeness) Critical Thinking Disposition Instrument. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and stepwise regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data collected from the scales. According to findings in the current study, behavioral, procedural and meta-cognitive domain of online information search strategies were significantly predicted by critical thinking dispositions and decision making styles. The Innovativeness dimension of the critical thinking dispositions was found to be the most important variable that predicts behavioral, procedural, and meta-cognitive domains. Rational decision-making style, innovativeness and cognitive maturity were found to be the predictors of meta-cognitive strategies. This finding indicate that university students with higher disposition to think critically can better interpret and evaluate the information on the Internet.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin karar verme stilleri ve eleştirel düşünme becerilerinin, çevrimiçi bilgi arama stratejileri ile ilişkilerini incelemektir. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını Türkiye’de bir üniversitede öğrenim gören 370 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcıların 225’i kız, 145’i ise erkektir. Araştırmadaki veriler, Çevrimiçi Bilgi Arama Stratejileri Envanteri, Karar Verme Stilleri Ölçeği, UF/EMI (University of Florida Engagement, Maturity and Innovativeness) Eleştirel Düşünme Eğilimi Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Ölçeklerden toplanan verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, korelasyon analizi ve aşamalı regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada ulaşılan bulguya göre, çevrimiçi bilgi arama stratejilerinin davranışsal, prosedürsel ve meta-bilişsel alan boyutları eleştirel düşünme eğilimleri ve karar verme stilleri tarafından anlamlı olarak yordanmaktadır. Eleştirel düşünme eğiliminin yenilikçilik boyutu davranışsal, prosedürsel ve meta-bilişsel alanları yordayan en önemli değişken olarak bulunmuştur. Yenilikçilik ve bilişsel olgunluk ile birlikte rasyonel karar verme stilinin meta bilişsel alanla ilgili olumlu ilişkisi, eleştirel düşünen bir üniversite öğrencisinin İnternette eriştiği bilgiyi daha iyi yorumlayıp değerlendirebileceğinin göstergesi olabilir.
