Cinsiyetin Akademik Erteleme Üzerindeki Etkisi: Meta-Analiz

In current meta-analysis study, the effect of gender on academic procrastination was tested. First of all, studies obtained by literature review were collected in a pool (N = 97). At the end of the investigations in line with the criteria determined by researchers, 25 studies were included in the analysis. The results of random effect model revealed that gender has a low-level effect on academic procrastination (f=25, d= .25, p<.001, SEd= .05). Research groups (high school and university), research country (Turkey, others) research types (thesis or article) were determined as moderator variables within the present study. Only research country variable was determined as moderator variable (Qb= 15.48, df= 1, p<.05). According to the research results, gender is a variable that causes an effect on academic procrastination. In addition, there is a significant difference between research in Turkey and others with regard to the effect of gender on academic procrastination.Bu meta-analiz çalışmasında cinsiyetin akademik erteleme üzerindeki üzerindeki etkisi test edilmiştir. Öncelikle literatür taraması yapılarak ilgili yayınlar bir havuzda toplanmıştır (n=97). Araştırmacılar tarafından belirlenen ölçütler doğrultusunda 25 çalışmanın analize dahil edilmesine karar verilmiştir. Rassal etki modeli kullanılarak yapılan analiz sonuçları, cinsiyetin akademik erteleme üzerinde düşük düzeyde anlamlı etkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir (f=25, d= .25, p<.001, SEd= .05). Çalışmada araştırmanın yapıldığı ülke, örneklem grubu ve yayım türü moderatör, değişken olarak belirlenmiştir. Sadece araştırmanın yapıldığı ülke değişkeninin moderatör değişken olduğu belirlenmiştir (Qb= 15.48, df= 1, p<.05). Elde edilen sonuçlara göre cinsiyet akademik erteleme üzerinde etki yaratan bir değişkendir. Ayrıca Türkiye ile diğer ülkelerde yapılan çalışmalar arasında cinsiyetin akademik erteleme üzerindeki etkisi bağlamında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmaktadı

Examination of the data obtained showed that self-perception, self-efficacy, seeking social support, problem-focused coping and avoidance accounted for 37 % of total learning approach orientation variance, learning avoidance orientation accounted for 5 % of total variance, performance orientation accounted for 9 % of total variance and performance avoidance orientation accounted for 22 % of total variance. We also determined that learning avoidance goal orientation type varied according to gender, and learning approach and learning avoidance varied according to class year. The findings are discussed in the light of the literature and suggestions for future research are proposed
