Abstract

In this study, individual differences among the first year undergraduate students’ learning styles and motivational styles were examined in two different academic contexts. Changes in students’ learning styles and motivational styles were also investigated through a longitudinal design over one academic year. The results of this study showed that both students’ learning styles and motivational styles were domain-specific, malleable, and independent constructs. Furthermore, the present study revealed that style conceptualization was appropriate to capture the malleable nature of learning and motivation. Finally, it was also found that students’ learning styles did not significantly differ according to their motivational styles both at the beginning and at the end of the academic year. Educational implications and directions for future research were also emphasized in this study.

Özet

Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinin öğrenme stilleri ve motivasyonel stilleri arasındaki farklılıklar iki farklı akademik bağlamda incelenmiştir. Öğrencilerin öğrenme stilleri ve motivasyonel stillerindeki değişiklikler de bir akademik yıl üzerinden boylamsal bir desen aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, öğrencilerin hem öğrenme stillerinin hem de motivasyonel stillerinin alan-odaklı, değişken ve birbirlerinden görece bağımsız yapılar olduklarını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, bu çalışma stil kavramsallaştırmasının öğrenme ve motivasyonun değişken doğasını ele almada uygun olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Son olarak, öğrencilerin öğrenme stillerinin motivasyonel stillerine göre hem akademik yılın başında hem de sonunda anlamlı düzeyde bir farklılık göstermediği de bulunmuştur. Çalışmada eğitimsel çıkarsamalar ve gelecekteki araştırmalar üzerinde de durulmuştur.
