Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi Öğrencilerinin Kimya Motivasyon Düzey Değişimlerinin Alanlarına Bağlı Olarak İncelenmesi: Boylamsal Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Motivation is not only effective in students' success in a course, but also an effective factor in guiding a person's life. It is important to understand motivation as well as to understand its persistence. Therefore, in the study, it was aimed to determine the motivations of students in different fields in vocational and technical high schools and to monitor the change of this motivation over the years. In this study, the chemistry motivation levels of the students of 4 Vocational and Technical Anatolian High Schools studying in the fields of Information Technologies, Machine Technology, Health Services and Food Technology in 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 academic years were determined and compared. When the chemistry motivation scores of the students for the 10th and 12th grades were compared, it was seen that it was at an acceptable level for both grades ( =76,8056 and =77,0278) and that there was a slight increase in the 12th grade. However, it was concluded that this increase was not statistically significant. When the changes in the fields were compared, it was determined that the chemistry motivation score averages of the 10th and 12th-grade students studying in the fields of Information Technologies and Machine Technology decreased over the years, and the average scores of the students studying in the fields of Health Services and Food Technology increased over the years. However, it was concluded that the change within the chemistry motivations of the fields was not statistically significant.
