Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Decision matrix is one of the tools that can be used to make scientific decisions upon possessing multiple options at hand. The aim of this study is to examine prospective science teachers’ decision-making levels by using decision matrix when there are multiple options. Prospective science teachers (n=30) were participated in the study. As a data collection tool, decision matrix including 3 problem scenarios and Melbourne Decision Making Scale were used. Whether the data was distributed normally was examined among the factors of maintaining the same decision (not changing the decision from the beginning to the end by using two methods which are intuitive and decision matrix) and self-esteem levels of decision making, careful decision-making style, avoidant decision-making style, procrastination decision-making style and panic decision-making style. Kruskal Wallis test, which is one of the non-parametric tests was benefitted in the analysis of the data obtained. It was investigated whether there is a significant relationship among maintaining the same decision and self-esteem levels of decision making, careful decision-making style, avoidant decision-making style, procrastination decision-making style, panic decision-making style. Findings of the study revealed that there is no meaningful relationship between decision taken by using decision matrices and decisions taken by using intuitive methods which indicates that using decision matrices may lead more realistic solutions.

Özet Karar matrisleri öğrencilerin çoklu seçeneklerin olduğu durumlarda, bilimsel karar vermelerinde kullanılabilecek araçlardan biridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; Fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının çoklu seçeneklerin olduğu durumlarda karar matrisi kullanarak karar verme düzeylerini incelemektir. Bu amaçla Fen bilgisi öğretmen adayları (n=30) ile çalışılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak 3 problem senaryosunu içeren karar matrisi ve Melbourne Karar Verme Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin normal dağılıp dağılmadığı aynı kararı devam ettirme (değiştirmeme) (sezgisel ve karar matrisi kullanarak) ve kendine güven, Dikkatli Karar Verme Stili, Kaçıngan Karar Verme Stili, Erteleyici Karar Verme Stili ve Panik Karar Verme Stili faktörleri arasında incelenmiştir. Verilerin normal dağılmamasından dolayı parametrik olmayan testlerden Kruskal Wallis testi kullanılmıştır. Aynı kararı devam ettirme (değiştirmeme) (sezgisel ve karar matrisi kullanarak) ve kendine güven, Dikkatli Karar Verme Stili, Kaçıngan Karar Verme Stili, Erteleyici Karar Verme Stili ve Panik Karar Verme Stili faktörleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olup olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları faktörler arasında 0,05 düzeyinde anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığını ortaya koyar niteliktedir.
