Year 2016, Volume: 39 Issue: 39, 119 - 129, 01.01.2016

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı; birey-çevre uyumu,
erteleme eğilimi, akademik doyum ve akademik başarı arasındaki doğrudan ve
dolaylı ilişkileri incelemektir. Çalışmaya
Pamukkale
Üniversitesi, Eğitim Fakültesi’nin Yaz dönemi derslerine kayıt yaptıran, farklı
bölümlerde öğrenim gören, yaşları 19 ile 27 arasında değişen, toplam 338
öğrenci katılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplamak amacıyla kişisel bilgi formuyla
birlikte, Aitken Erteleme Eğilimi Ölçeği, Akademik Uyum Ölçeği ve Akademik
Doyum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları erteleme eğilimi, akademik uyum,
akademik doyum ve akademik başarı arasında negatif yönde anlamlı ilişkiler
olduğunu göstermiştir. Yapısal eşitlik modeli analizleri, akademik doyumun;
akademik uyum, erteleme eğilimi ve akademik başarı ilişkisinde tam aracılık
rolü üstlendiğini göstermiştir. Bulgular eğitimciler ve psikolojik danışmanlar
açısından ele alınıp tartışılmıştır.
