Examination of the learning approaches of foreign students in terms of various variables

The aim of this study is to examine the learning approaches of foreign students who are studying Turkish preparation in terms of various variables. Research is a type of survey. In the 2013-2014 academic year, the universe of the research was formed by the students of Atatürk University, D？LMER, Istanbul University, D？LMER and the students of C1 level, who were educated in Gaziantep University, T？MER. In this study, 172 students at C1 level in the relevant workable universe were reached. In this study, the “Learning Approaches and Working Skills Scale” which was adapted to Turkish by Senemo？lu (2011) as a data collection tool was used. In the process of data analysis, in order to determine which tests would be used, learning approaches and the data collected by writing skills self-efficacy measure were tested as to whether they correspond basic assumptions of parametric tests. In this regard, in order to determine whether the data present homogeneous distribution, Levene homogeneity test and for normal distribution; Kolmogorov Smirnov normality test were used. As it was determined that the data set presents a normal distribution, the data were analysed with t test for independent samples and Single Factoral Variance Analysis, and relations between variances were established. For cases in which reasonable differences were established, By Post HocScheffe and LSD tests out of multiple comparison tests were used to state the source of the difference. The value of p=0.05 was recognized as the critical value in all of the data analysis steps. As a result of the research, it was found that the learning approaches of foreign students who are studying Turkish preparation differ significantly from the variables such as gender, age, book, newspaper, magazine reading
