ABSTRACT

In this study, it was aimed to identify the scientific research-related anxiety levels of the undergraduate students studying in the department of faculty of science and letters and faculty of education to analyse these anxiety levels in terms of various variables (students' gender, using web based information sources, going to the library, studying department, taking a course related to measurement and evaluation during undergraduate education), considering foregoing knowledge. This descriptive study was done using relational screening model from screening models. The sample of the research consisted of 534 students studying at Faculty of Education and Faculty of Science and Letters of Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University located in the east of Turkey, during the Fall Semester of 2017-2018. Participants consisted of 314 females and 220 males. 208 of the participants study at Department of History, 34 of those at Department of Science, 45 of those at Department of Geography, 120 of those at Turkish Philology, and 127 of those at Department of Computer and Instructional Technologies Training. The data were attained through the "Personal Information Form" created by the researchers, and "Research-Related Anxiety Scale" developed by Büyukozturk [2]. As a result of the analysis made, no significant relationship was found between students' research-related anxiety levels and the variables such as students' gender, studying department, taking a course related to measurement and evaluation during undergraduate education. But, a significant relationship was found between students' research-related anxiety levels and the variables such as using web based information sources, going to the library. It was determined that undergraduate students' habits of going to the library and using web based information sources significantly reduced research anxiety.
