Investigation of Relationship between Prospective Teachers’ Learning Beliefs and State of Individual Innovativeness

Individual Innovativeness is one of the most appreciated attributes of 21st century skills needed in every field of daily life. Because of this appreciation, a lot of effort has been spent toward prompting individual innovativeness levels of both students and teachers in a teaching and learning environment via innovative practices. So this study aims to examine the relationship between prospective teachers' learning beliefs and their individual innovativeness state. The correlational survey method was used in this study and the sample of the study is comprised of 515 prospective teachers. The data of the study was collected via “Belief Scale toward Learning” developed by Bay et al. (2012) and “Individual Innovativeness Scale” developed by Hurt, Joseph, and Cook (1977) and adapted to Turkish by Kılıçer and Odabaşı (2010). The data of this study were analyzed with the help of the SPSS package program. Test of normality, descriptive statistics, correlational analysis and partial linear regression analysis techniques were used to analyze the data obtained. The results of the analysis showed that prospective teachers have a high level of constructivist and a moderate level of traditional learning beliefs while their individual innovativeness state was determined to be in the category of interrogators. Besides, prospective teachers' beliefs in constructivist learning were determined to be a significant predictor of their individual innovativeness state.

Information and Communication Technology has rigorously impacted upon the way the teaching and learning is being carried out in the classrooms of twenty first century. Digital learning has opened the doors of a new classroom and has made knowledge and information accessible to everyone in any corner of the globe.

Teaching and learning process is considered very important in education. Teacher plays a vital role in imparting knowledge and influences the students’ learning and their educational accomplishments. The main objective of this paper is to assess the attitude towards using cyber resources among prospective teachers. Sample of the study comprises of 300 prospective teachers randomly selected. Normative survey method was employed for data collection. The Attitude towards using Cyber Resources scale constructed and standardized by Dr. S. Rajasekar (2010) was used for data collection. Three hypotheses were formulated to guide this study. Student’s ‘t’ test was used to analyse the collected data. Results revealed that gender, educational qualification and discipline do not influence the attitude towards using cyber resources among prospective teachers. The prospective teachers have felt the need to use cyber resources for strengthening their knowledge by accessing advanced materials, reach out their students, and to use cyber resources as an effective teaching tool especially in this pandemic period.

BackgroundCreating a conducive environment for learning cultivates engaged and independent learners, allowing for high-level learning (Warren, 2004). When assessing the diverse Psychology courses that exist, the evaluation of Research Methods (RM) teaching and its associated pedagogies is high on the agenda of college based Higher Education (Burton & Schonfield, 2011). ObjectiveThis study aimed at exploring what range of teaching and learning activities (TLA’s) promote effective learning of RM among Psychology students. Additionally, it aimed to understand, from a student perspective, what ‘effective learning’ meant in the context of RM. MethodA mixed methods approach comprising of both surveys as well as focus groups was conducted with undergraduate Psychology students. Thematic analysis and basic frequencies were used to analyse data. Results Results demonstrated that both student and teacher-led activities were beneficial and worked complementarily for students in their understanding of the subject whilst serving different purposes. Practical labs and class exercises were the top activities highlighted (student-led) followed by lectures and flow chart concept checks (teacher-led). Furthermore, ‘effective learning’ encapsulated not just a long-term knowledge acquisition of concepts but the ability to apply one’s knowledge to the wider context. Conclusion and teaching implication Findings are in line with the Conception of Learning which has a nested hierarchy consisting of both surface learning elements and deep learning (Marton,Dall’Alba & Beaty, 1993). RM has been identified as a difficult subject to teach as well for students to learn (Gray et al., 2015) and as a result this study teases apart some of the most beneficial techniques from a student perspective to be considered when designing the structure and delivery of RM courses.
