Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the hope and grit based intervention program on the self-efficacy of adolescents. Experimental design with 2x2 pre-post test control group was used as a method in the research, and the study group consisted of 18 students studying at a secondary school in XXX province in the 2019-2020 academic year. Participants were randomly assigned to the experimental (n=9) and control groups (n=9). The General Self-Efficacy Scale was applied to the participants in the pre-test and post-test. A seven-session hope and grit based intervention program was applied to the experimental group, two days a week. Sessions were held in durations varying between 40-50 minutes. In the analysis of the data, t-test for independent groups and two-way ANOVA for repeated measures were used. Research findings show that the post test self-efficacy mean scores of the adolescents participating in the program are significantly higher than both the experimental group pretest scores and the post test scores of the adolescents in the control group. As a result, it shows that the intervention program based on hope and grit is effective in increasing the self-efficacy of adolescents.

Umut ve Azime Dayalı Müdahale Programının Ergenlerin Öz Yeterliklerine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, umut ve azime dayalı müdahale programının ergenlerin öz yeterliklerine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmada yöntem olarak 2x2’lik ön-son test kontrol gruplu deneysel desen kullanılmış olup, çalışma grubunu 2019-2020 öğretim yılında XXX ilindeki bir ortaokulda öğrenim gören 18 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Katılımcılar, seçkisiz olarak deney (n=9) ve kontrol grubuna (n=9) atanmışlardır. Katılımcılara ön ve son testte Genel Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Deney grubuna, haftanın iki günü olmak üzere yedi oturumluk umut ve azime dayalı müdahale programı uygulanmıştır. Oturumlar, 40-50 dakika arasında değişen sürelerde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerinin analizinde bağımsız gruplar için t-testi ve tekrarlanmış ölçümler için iki yönlü ANOVA kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, programa katılan ergenlerin son test öz yeterlik puan ortalamalarının hem deney grubu ön test puanlarına göre hem de kontrol grubundaki ergenlerin son test puanlarına göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, umut ve azime dayalı müdahale programının ergenlerin öz yeterliklerini arttırmada etkili olduğunu göstermektedir.
