Investigation of the Anxiety and Hopelessness Levels of Statistics Department Senior Students by Categorical Regression Analysis

Kişilerin kendini gerçekleştirdiği, değerlendirdiği ve gelişmeye başladığı üniversite dönemi son derece önem taşımaktadır. Bu süreçte özellikle son sınıfta yaşanan iş ve gelecek belirsizliği, beklentiler, olumsuz etkilenmeler kişilerde kaygıya neden olabilmektedir. Bu durum, bireylerin öğrenim sürecini de etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Ankara araştırma üniversitelerinde öğrenim gören istatistik bölümü son sınıf öğrencilerinin kaygı ve umutsuzluk düzeylerinin kategorik regresyon analizi ile incelenerek model denemelerinin yapılması ve bu modeller ile öğrencilerin geleceğe bakışlarının belirlenmesidir. Araştırma 2020-2021 öğretim yılında Ankara ilindeki araştırma üniversitelerinin istatistik bölümü son sınıf öğrencilerini kapsamaktadır. Ankara Üniversitesi Fen Fakültesi, Gazi Üniversitesi Fen Fakültesi, Hacettepe Üniversitesi Fen Fakültesi ve Ortadoğu Teknik Üniversitesi Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi baz alınarak başlangıçta her bir üniversitenin istatistik bölümü son sınıf öğrencilerinin eşit düzeyde kaygıya sahip oldukları varsayımı altında çekilecek örneklemin genişliği eşit payda belirlenmiş ve 93 örneklem elde edilmiştir. Araştırma grubuna, "Spielberger Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği" ve "Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği" uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler kategorik regresyon ve sıralı lojistik regresyon modellemeleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. İstatistik bölümünde okuyan son sınıf öğrencilerinden Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi’ nde olanların geleceğe daha umutla bakabildikleri, Hacettepe Üniversitesi öğrencilerinde az da olsa umudun var olduğu, Ankara ve Gazi Üniversitesi’ ndeki öğrencilerin umutsuzluk ölçeği etkisinin neredeyse eşit olup; geleceğe daha umutsuz baktığı söylenebilir. İş önceliğinin etkisine bakıldığında, “Para Kazanmak” seçeneğini işaretleyenlerin daha umutlu, “Sosyal Güvenceye Sahip Olmak” seçeneğini işaretleyenlerin ise daha umutsuz olduğu görülmüştür. Stajın olup olmamasının etkisine bakıldığında, staj yapanların geleceğe daha umutlu, yapmayanların ise umutsuz baktığı söylenebilir. Aynı şekilde baba öğrenim durumu düzeyi ileri seviyede olduğunda, istatistik bölümü son sınıf öğrencilerinin geleceğe daha umutlu baktığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, son sınıf öğrencilerine yönelik kaygı ve umutsuzluğun azaltılması, kendilerini daha iyi ve etkili geliştirebilmeleri açısından eğitim süreçlerinde psikolojik danışma, rehberlik hizmetleri ve bu yönde eğitim seminerlerinin arttırılarak sağlanması, kaygı ve umutsuzlukla baş edebilmeleri için destek olunması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.

Anxiety During Covid 19 Pandemic- A Study Among Female College Students And Teachers In Kerala

COVID 19 is an ongoing global pandemic and it had a major effect in our lives. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers and students have been experiencing negative psychological symptoms stemming from the school closures and it was the need of the hour to adapt new methodological model of teaching learning, for which the teachers and students were not prepared. The uncertainties caused due to this drastic change could only aggravate their anxiety levels. In addition to the aforementioned circumstances, the new teaching method adopted through online classes and virtual classrooms failed to replace real classrooms. In the absence of an effective mode of learning in the present context, the anguish and anxiety caused by such disparities remain immeasurable.There is a considerable dearth in the research conducted in the field of the impact of pandemic and its influence on levels of anxiety in college students and teachers and about the expectations of academic self-efficacy during these hard times. This research analyzes the level of anxiety and perceived self-efficacy during COVID-19.

Engaging non-mathematics students in mathematics learning through collaborative teaching

Abstract Mathematics is a common component of many science and social science degrees, but frequently not considered a prerequisite for their study. This can lead to some students studying mathematics components at undergraduate level with little or no previous mathematical learning and varying levels of motivation, or desire, to study mathematics. This situation has consequences for student experience and teaching practice, including the potential for lower levels of student engagement, higher levels of student anxiety and lack of student motivation for studying a subject that is not what they chose as their degree subject. This paper details an intervention designed to address issues experienced in the teaching of mathematics to undergraduate students, with varying motivation for the study of mathematics and high levels of mathematics anxiety, in their first year of study in a department of Earth Sciences at a UK university. The intervention provided a bespoke mathematics module, designed and taught collaboratively by a teaching specialist in mathematics and a subject specialist in Earth Sciences. The mathematics specialist was able to provide extensive experience in teaching students from widening participation backgrounds and those with mathematics anxiety, making the content more accessible to the students, particularly those with mathematics anxiety. The Earth Sciences specialist was able to contextualize the mathematics content, showing students how the content was applicable to the rest of the degree and helping locate the mathematical content within the broader scope of the discipline. Previous approaches to this module were taught either solely by an Earth Sciences specialist or solely by a mathematics specialist. Compared with those approaches the collaborative teaching intervention improved student attainment by 10% in the average module mark and moved the module from having the lowest student satisfaction scores in the department to the highest. This innovation also benefited both teachers with respect to professional development, which is discussed in the paper.
