Abstract

The vision of the biology curriculum in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) is to improve the students' biology literacy. Motivation plays an important role in this vision of biology curriculum. In this study, we examined the motivation levels of 9th grade students attending two different schools in Nicosia. The findings have shown that Turkish Cypriot high school students are eager to learn biology. Results have shown that there is a significant gender difference in stimulation of learning environment between the science high school students. It has been also that male students were better motivated in stimulation of learning environment of biology than female students. In addition, active learning strategy and stimulation of learning environment are significant predictors for biology learning value for these samples. Finally, it has been also found that there are positive, mid, and low-level relations among the motivation subscales.

Özet

Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyet (KKTC)’de biyoloji dersi öğretimi programının vizyonu, biyoloji okur-yazar bireyler yetiştirmektir. Motivasyon, biyoloji dersi öğretimi vizyonunda önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Lefkoşa’da iki farklı lise türünde okuyan 9. sınıf öğrencilerin biyoloji öğrenmeye yönelik motivasyonları değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçlar, Kıbrıslı Türk öğrencilerin biyolojiyi öğrenmeye istekli oldukları görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin biyoloji öğrenmeye yönelik motivasyonları öğrenme ortamının etkisi açısından cinsiyete göre değişmektedir. Erkek öğrencilerin kız öğrencilere göre motive olmaları daha yüksektir. Ayrıca bu örneklemde aktif öğrenme stratejisi ve öğrenme ortamının etkisi, biyoloji öğrenmeye değer verme için yordayıcılardır. Son olarak biyoloji öğrenmeye yönelik motivasyon ölçeğinin alt boyutları arasında olumlu yönde, orta ve düşük seviyeli bir ilişki söz konusudur.
