Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to examine the partial mediating effect of metacognitive awareness level in the relationship between critical thinking dispositions and epistemological beliefs of university students. It was proposed that students critical thinking dispositions may affect their epistemological beliefs and metacognition may have a partial mediating effect in this relationship. A model that shows the possible relationships among variables was constructed and this measurement model was tested by structural equation modeling. Three different instruments were administered to 425 university students enrolled in various departments and faculties of Ege University in order to collect data about critical thinking dispositions, metacognitive awareness and epistemological beliefs. Results of structural equation modeling supported the proposed model. Based on these findings, it can be said that students critical thinking dispositions effect their epistemological beliefs and metacognition variable is a partially mediating variable.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, üniversite öğrencilerinin eleştirel düşünme eğilimleri ve epistemolojik inançları arasındaki ilişkide üstbiliş farkındalık düzeyinin kısmi aracılık etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Öğrencilerin eleştirel düşünme eğilimlerinin epistemolojik inançlarını etkileyeceği ve üstbilişin bu ilişkide kısmi aracı bir etkiye sahip olduğu ileri sürülmüştür. Çalışmada söz konusu değişkenler arasındaki olası ilişkileri gösteren bir model kurulmuş ve bu model yapısal denklem modellemesi kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Ege Üniversitesinin çeşitli fakülte ve bölümlerinde öğrenim görmekte olan toplam 425 öğrencinin eleştirel düşünme eğilimleri, üstbiliş farkındalıkları ve epistemolojik inançları hakkında bilgi edinebilmek amacıyla çalışma grubuna üç farklı ölçüm aracı uygulanmıştır. Yapısal denklem modeli sonuçları, çalışmada önerilen modeli desteklemektedir. Buna göre; öğrencilerin eleştirel düşünme eğilimlerinin epistemolojik inançlarını etkilediği modelde üstbiliş değişkeninin kısmi aracı değişken niteliğinde olduğu söylenebilir.
