Özet
Araştırmanın temel amacı, yapılandırmacı öğrenme ortamı özelliklerinin düşünme dostu sınıf özelliklerini ne ölçüde yordadığını incelemektir. Araştırmaya Adana ili merkez ilçelerindeki 10 ilköğretim okulundan 727 beşinci sınıf öğrencisi katılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak “Düşünme Dostu Sınıf Ölçeği” (DDSÖ) ve “Yapılandırmacı Öğrenme Ortamı Ölçeği” (YÖOÖ) kullanılmıştır. Veriler üzerinde çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre öğrenciler, sınıflarının ortamını yapılandırmacı öğrenmeye uygunluk ve düşünme dostu oluş bakımından oldukça iyi düzeyde algılamaktadırlar. Yordayıcı değişkenler olarak alınan YÖOÖ alt ölçeklerinin hep birlikte DDSÖ’den alınan puanlardaki varyansı anlamlı bir şekilde açıkladığı belirlenmiştir. Bu durumda, yapılandırmacı öğrenme ortamı özelliklerinin düşünme dostu sınıf özelliklerinin belirleyicileri arasında yer aldığını söylemek olasıdır.
